Once the Christmas Roses
and the Christmas decor had been removed,
a much needed streamlined vintage tablescape
to welcome in 2013
seemed quite fitting On Crooked Creek!
Soft, creamy ivory blossoms
combined with an icy crystallized Boston fern
in an etched lead crystal vase,
makes a striking centerpiece.
Placing the vase atop a vintage rose bordered silver tray
allows for easy removal during mealtimes.
Encircling the base of the vase,
I wound strands of varying hues
of heirloom vintage pearl necklaces.
The insertion of a gold leaf pin
and gold link bracelet help to reflect the soft glow
of the stripe frosted glass votive.
Rim shot of my everyday white porcelain dinnerware.
A perfect choice for a Winter evening dining experience
On Crooked Creek. Everyday stainless flatware
combine with our rose etched crystal stemware
atop a black and white toile place mat.
Our vintage rose etched crystal stemware,
with these beaded base detailing,
adds a romantic ambiance to our dining table.
The features that swayed me to make this choice in dinnerware
are the embossing on the dessert / salad plate
and the huge SNOWflake
embossed into the inner being of the saucer!!!

Oh my what a perfectly GORGEOUS setting. I love the white and silver, looks like a white dahlia?
oooh, so pretty, love that gorgeous black and white!
Very pretty and sophisticated. Just right for a January table by the door. I also love how you took your porch to still reflect winter but lost the Christmas touches. My porch has lost the Christmas touches, but that's all. Now it just looks lost! Needs some work out there. Thanks for the inspiration.
Everything looks beautiful!!! I love the white plates with the snowflakes. How perfect for this time of year. xo Diana
Hi Pat, how pretty the white and crystal looks together. I think I need to put a little crystal out myself....have a good day!
A beautiful table Pat. I love the silver tray centerpiece.
Beautiful table setting! I love the pretty silver tray in the center, but the dishes with the snow flakes are my fave! Thank you for such sweet and kind visit. Big hugs,
FABBY
Every detail is perfect. I love etched crystal and the beading is so pretty. Your white china is a pattern I like very much with the embossing it really is special. Your flowers, placemats, and embellished centerpiece pull this tablescape together with a touch of class.
Beautiful table with white and silver. It is serene and elegant. Those rose etched glasses are gorgeous. Your china is also beautiful with such lovely lines.
White & silver combo is absolutely classy and elegant. I can't see that the dishes are your everyday dishes.
Wow... those stemwares are to die for. Very gorgeous.
Happy TS,

Of course you know I love the black placemats.. quilted and warm.. A truly great tablescape to welcome the new year! with friendly best wishes.. xo marlis
Hi Pat, what a wonderful table you've set. I adore the placemats (sell them in the shop :-) ) The silver tray with pearls stole my heart and the sweet bird to watch over is the perfect touch. What a great way to bring in the New Year! I'm so glad you popped in, always love your kind words.. hugs ~lynne ~

Morning Pat,

Very simple yet very lovely table.

So nice to meet you here in blogland,
