New Year's Fun

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.

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 and
sharing meals over the holidays.

~Keep on Dreaming~

  8. 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.

  9. Hi 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! :)
