{Camellia Debutante & Chocolate}


What do you think about our three gorgeously pink Camellia Japonica Debutante?
They look so romantic against the beautiful table linens from Cottimaryanne, Firenze. 
Made of 100% Egyptian cotton damask in Florence, Italy. 
A scalloped treasure from the time that we lived and worked in Italy!
Camellias and chocolates...
 Almost rose like... and that for this time of the year!
 Displayed in my favorite silver ROSE vase...
Johanna, from the blog: Silber+Rosen loves this silver rose; no wonder she wrote the book: Rosen-Bestecke (Rose-Flatware) about it!
Teamed up with the romantic Royal Albert Princess Anne China in which I placed some hand made chocolates. Learn from Mariette.
Just click the following link to a post where I mad chocolate Angels and Roses:
{STIR UP ANGELIC TEA FOR TWO} Also Hearts I made... This is my second trial of angels and roses, click on the enlarged hyperlink to see the other ones. Now I've made them with Splenda so they're sugar free!
Also I tried my own heart shaped version of Amaretti di Saronno cookies.
In the summer I had no time doing that but now is the season to make them again. Perfect as a gift too.
Would you like me to make a cup of coffee or do you prefer tea?
Just eat your heart out...

  3. Liebe Mariette,
    mein Kaffee steht schon bereit. Aber ich traue mich nicht diese wunderschönen Schokoladenkreationen zu verspeisen.
    Aber wenn, dann nehme ich die Rose und werde sie genießen.
    Aber nicht ohne vorher noch einen Blick auf die Camelien zu werfen die einfach nur schön sind.

    Ganz liebe Grüße
    Beate

  4. Liebe Mariette,
    ganz zauberhaft hast du das wieder gedeckt und für jeden etwas dabei, was er mit den Augen genießen kann. Die Camellien sind ganz wunderschön, ich liebe diese Blumen. Leider hatte ich großes Pech und mein großer Busch im Garten ist einem Pilz zum Opfer gefallen. Das silberne Väschen ist ganz wunderschön, ich denke fast, dass es von der Firma Ludwig ist. Guck mal im Buch, ob es deren Silberpunze trägt. Das Gebäckschälchen ist auch eine Pracht, diese Rosendarstellung ist so schön zart und gar nicht kitschig. Royal Albert gehört schon zu meinen Lieblingsporzellanen, aber ist hier in ausgefalleneren Dekoren schwer zu bekommen. Und deine Engelchen in schokolade und Amaretti-herzchen sind einfach umwerfend. Hmmmmm, da läuft mir das Wasser im Munde zusammen. Einen schönen 2. Advent wünscht euch,
    Johanna
