Tick Tock, Tick Tock, Time For A New Year - Tablescape

Just a little more time left and 2010 will fly out the

door and 2011 will ring in.

It is a time of celebration deserving attention

and care.

A little trick of the hand

 (and a look at http://www.napkinfoldingguide.com/)

 and a Badgley Mischka napkin becomes....

A rosette....

The perfect place to nest a little souvenir time piece

with its adorable watch chain hanging off the edge.

I promised to show you my new flatware that was

my Christmas and birthday present.

A Horchow exclusive that Mrs. Claus happened

to find on sale - Padova silver plated flatware.

What a treat it was to play with these pieces today.

Flatware could become as addictive as plates - oh no!

The table is all set in crisp black and white with silver accents.

It is a romantic table for four set in front of the fireplace.

A candle chandelier dripping with crystals will add to the

romantic setting by the fireplace.

My black goblets go very well with this table.

Gunmetal gray chargers are topped with black

checkered plates, then textured white plates finished

with a matte black bowl.

Pull up some black leather chairs and the table

is complete.

The details of these pieces are just amazing.  I adore the

finials on the end of each piece.

The center of the table is filled with sparkling baubles.

One more look at the layers.

The fireplace is lit and so are the candles, let

the old year ring out and the new year ring in.

It has been such a treat becoming a blogger in 2010.

Everyone has been so supportive.

I must take a moment to thank my supportive

husband.  I realize that husbands of tablescapers

are amazing men - they have to be!  My dear

husband loves to look at my posts (but he is

always saying I need to do the same for his work!)

He has never complained and likes everything I

do - that makes it a lot of fun.

I have loved coming to know so many of you and

think of you as dear friends.  I would love to meet

you in person and know that I would love you even

more in person. 

 May 2011 bring you joy

and

happiness!

I will be ringing in the New Year
