Hello Sweet Friends,
Hope your week is going well and you
are looking forward to the New Year!
Really can't believe it has almost been
a year that has passed......definitely lends
some credence to the old saying the older
you get the faster time fly's!!
Figured I would share our Christmas
dinner table with you today before
we get into the New year!
Since I was not feeling great my
creativity was definitely not at an
all time high!! lol
But I did manage to come up with
something using these handy glass
cylinders, Christmas balls, faux
pine, snow and candles.
Figured it out a few days earlier,
then took a picture of it so I could
reconstruct it on Christmas day since
we needed to use the table for
Christmas eve and Christmas morning
brunch. Those tables were done in
gold white and silver and unfortunately
I did not remember to take any pictures.
Oh well............
This was taken
From one end of the table
to the other..............
You may or may not have
noticed that I used 2 different
salad plates and 2 different goblets,
just to change it up a bit and to
get a chance to use both
of them. lol

Amazing how the light can change
the colors. The top pic is the right
color!
color!
Decided just to fold up the dark green
and red plaid napkins and add a bow
to look like a gift.
Red plate and plaid bear for lil
darling......Just realized I forgot
her silverware.....lol
an overview
This has become my fav
silverware....it belonged to
my hubbies cousin who passed
away when she was 26 yrs. old.
It belonged to my late mother-
in-law after that and then when
she passed my Sister-in-law
Susan passed it on to us....
So it is like a family heirloom
as well.........
***************
Glad you could stop in today
and hope you have a lovely
New Years weekend.
Love and Blessings
for A Wonderful New Year!
Nellie

Hi, Nellie!
ReplyDeleteIt's funny when you look back on time at how fast it has gone, yet when looking ahead for things we are anxious for, it seems it takes forever, ha! To think in heaven a 1000 years is as a day and a day as a thousand years!
A beautiful table it was indeed! I'm so glad you are feeling better and are getting your strength back! I'm happy you are able to use the silverware. I never use but my everyday utensils since it is a placing for one! I/m sure LouRatha would be overjoyed to know it is a family heirloom!
I will celebrate New Year's Eve with my pets, ha! I usually fall asleep and I'm awakened when I hear the fireworks go off! Love you all, Susan
Thanks Susan,
ReplyDeleteand Yes, I am thankful to be feeling better too, but I just can't seem to beat this cough
for some reason.
We had a quiet new years as well.............that is getting to be our norm....
Jim has to go back to work tomorrow but he said it has been a restful vacation for him.
Course, he will work at home the next 2 days which are his typical days to work from
home.
Have a good evening,
Love, Nellie
Happy New Year, Nellie!
ReplyDeleteLike you, I enjoy looking forward to a fresh year - black slate, so to speak....
♥
BLANK slate, LOL!
ReplyDeleteHi Rebecca,
ReplyDeleteSo nice to hear from you as always.
Yes, there is just something exciting about a fresh start and as you say a blank slate.
All new opportunities and new things to discover.....it's like a do over!! lol
Have a great year,
Blessings, Nellie
Your table looked so lovely Nellie.
