Tablescape Tuesday...



Tuesday is Little Christmas, Three Kings Day, the day the Magi arrived with GIFTS for the newborn King...Following the STAR....

So I thought I would go with a King menu, and some stars and gifts and shimmering silver...fresh out of frankincense and myrrh

The glasses are Waterford...the plates Crown Victoria Lovelace ...from a supermarket in the 80's?...I used to use them for buffet parties..
The wreath around the hurricane is from Pottery Barn...

The gifts are boxes of Dove soap, LOL..for a clean Little Christmas!
I believe in practical gifts..:)

The little sterling silver bud vase was from a Delta Zeta formal in college..It has a few dings, but as survived all these years!

Thank you, Susan.... for the kind invitation!

Tonight the 11th day of Christmas , I used the mats I got the other day in WSonoma...
Dinner was pork cutlets, cauliflower casserole, and pierrogi...

What a great idea your king's day menu is! Wish I had thought of that!!

I think my favorite is the black & white w/ floral table though. I just find myslef really drawn to that table.

Kathleen, your silver tablesetting is absolutely elegant. ... Every detail seems well thought out and perfect for the occasion. Your descriptions are delightfully honest without even a hint of pretentiousness...Just like you, Kathleen. Dove boxes are beautifully wrapped. :)

I always enjoy seeing your black plates and those beautiful flowered placemats.
