A Dinner Party Table

 Hello Dear Ones! Well after all of my Fall decorating I thought Mr. Precious and I should have a little dinner party and that's exactly what we did! Come on along and see my table before our guests get here.

All set for dinner.

I just left my crocheted runner on the table and placed down some white chargers and went to town.

This china is very dear to me as it belonged to my little mother who is now in Heaven. When  I was 14 years old, my daddy asked me to come with him shopping. We were going to pick out some china for my mother! I felt so grown up. He must have really trusted me because he asked me to pick out the pattern - and this is the what I chose! It's Nottingham china made in Japan and the pattern is called Bristol. It's pretty old because it was bought about 1964. I grabbed some red floral napkins and napkin rings and we were almost there!

I've used some of my cranberry glass goblets that looked perfect with the china.

A couple of weeks ago I found these darling salt and peppers - a white pun'kin and a white gourd! I bought two sets so I could have salt and pepper on both sides of the table. No reaching over any one. I'm so talented like that!

I've already posted about my Fall centerpiece here and as much as I like the floral in the middle - it was just too tall for guests! I didn't want anyone to strain their tiny necks trying to see someone on the other side of the table!

So I yanked out all of the florals, grabbed a little glass bowl and started poking in the stems to make a lower arrangement. It's not as pretty as the before centerpiece but it was much better  for conversation. Do you see the little lights on my Fall leaves garland? I just love that and those two white pun'kins light up too.

Here I am in all my glory - no lipstick on - after a hard day's work of decorating and cooking. I should have taken a picture of our food but I didn't want to seem silly to my guests. We had a green chili Mexican casserole, pinto beans, guacamole and all of the fixings. For desert - home made ice cream and home made pound cake. It was all very yummy!

I do have a little left over ice cream if you'd like a bowl - just say the word!

As always, be a sweetie,                                                                                                                             Shelia ;) 

I'll leave you with a little Note Song ~
