It has been a really busy week and the weather turned sharply cooler today. Time to stay in and have a cozy supper by the fire for today’s edition of Tablescape Thursday.
I started with a small table in front of the fire. So glad I got a red tablecloth. It has had so many great uses.
I added my gold, fluted chargers.
Then, I added my Mikasa Ribbon and Holly china.
Etched glass goblets with long stems in red.
Gold flatware and a candle complete the scene.
A cozy fireside supper on a cold evening.
But it is nice and warm in here.
A note from Soldiers’ Angels:
This winter, an estimated 140,000 U.S. military personnel will be serving in Iraq and Afghanistan, in combat environments or in support of combat operations. Some will be on their 4th or 5th deployments–spending yet another Holiday away from the loving arms of family and friends. We want them to know that they are remembered, that we are thinking of them during the winter Holiday Season, and that we are grateful for their service. Since we can’t all wrap our arms around them in person to show how much we love and appreciate them, Soldiers’ Angels needs your help to make sure each one of America’s heroes is Wrapped in Holiday Spirit.
