Sunday Savor~~~
I thought for this installment
that I would share with you a
couple of get togethers we had
at our house over the last
several days.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
First up~~~
Our friends Dan and Nancy
came over for dinner on
December 29th. Since we
would not be celebrating the
new year together as we have
in the past, I put together a
"New Year's" tablescape.
I started with these small Fiber
Optic trees and some crystal "table
scatters". I put a horn at each
place setting and a whistle by each
plate. The guys had hats and the
gals had "Hollywood glasses."
The place mats are white with silver
thread woven throughout and I
used our white dishes. Our napkins
said "Happy New Year," of course.

The Menu: (n0 pics--too busy)
Ham
Potatoes Diana
Green Salad
Crusty Rolls
Dessert:
Raspberry Kringle
Above is a distance shot of the
table. If you look close enough
you can see some of the light
on the trees.
Here is an up close shot of a
place setting.
Below is our side table/stand
with more decor.

January 1, 2011
Last evening our friend Sonja came
over for dinner to celebrate the
brand new year. I kept the same
table theme since it was festive.
This was a less formal type meal.
~~~~~~~
The Menu:
Sloppy Joes
Frito Scoops
French Onion Dip
Assorted Fresh Veggies
Pickles/Olives
Homemade Cinnamon
Applesauce
Here are a couple shots of the table
and food.
We enjoyed seeing friends andsharing meals over the holidays.
~Keep on Dreaming~

I'm going to have to come to dinner at your house. My husband doesn't like sloppy joes, so I never make them anymore. And I LOVE them. Hope you had a nice winter break while it lasted.
ReplyDeleteHi Melinda. You are such a good friend...I love all the effort you go to for dinner with friends. I'm betting that the time you all spent together was just as "sparkly" as your table settings! :)
