Our weekend visitors

I wanted to share with you what a cold but great weekend we had here at home. Over the weekend we invited to dinner a few friends we didn’t get to see during Christmas. I wanted to create a cozier atmosphere and dine under candle light so I moved the dining table close to the open fire in front of my gorgeous bookcase. Did I ever say bookcases are one of my favorite things? I used a generous remnants of Edo fabric by quadrille as tablecloth, took out a few of my amethyst candle holders and got some hydrangeas at Whole Foods. The Capiz Shell placemats are from Crate and Barrel and they are really beautiful. We had a wonderful time in good company and hope we get to do this more often.

    What a magnificent table setting. I love walking into a home and having my breath taken away by the trouble the host/hostess has taken to decorate the table.

    Beautiful. We had a small dinner party, too, Saturday night. I took photos but I like the atmosphere of your better. I have those placemats, too.

    Looks really beautiful and I adore the idea of moving the table over next to the fire. I love to do special things like that when entertaining. It always makes your guests feel like you went the extra mile for them and are very glad that they are there. First time here. I'm going to do a little more snooping around. Mona
