{Table Setting for Friends}

Saturday evening, we had a dinner for six friends at our home. Just like to share with you my table setting. From husband Pieter, I had a dozen white roses and in our garden we just found enough Fragrant double Obdam narcissus for putting in the individual Delft white picture frames, as a place setting. We had heavy rain on Saturday but inside it was cozy.
  • Real Wax Carved Rose tea lights (battery operated Flameless Candles) in white, when lit they look yellowish.
  • White ceramic roses as center piece, together with the Baccarat Harcourt pitcher with real white roses.
  • You can see this Baccarat Harcourt pitcher in a previous post, see link below.

  • Gumbo Soup spoon is Bridal Rose by Alvin and other flatware is my Gero Zilmeta 528 Menuet.
  • Baccarat Piccadilly stemware.
  • French Pillivuyt charger...
  • Le Jacquard Français tablecloth. 

  • Table got set for 8 of us.
  • Before I placed a fork to the left of this plate, I took the photo... 
  • Don't you like to have cozy dinners with friends when the weather is cold, windy and rainy?

  9. Dearest Mariette,

    What a beautiful, elegant table setting. I love the way you mix and match your silver patterns. This could work very well as a setting for and intimate dinner for two. You've made me realize I could mix my grandmother's simple plate with my elaborate silver.

    Thanks...........*s*
