HAPPY EASTER 2018

Already for quite a while I had the photos...
So, here I will use them for wishing all my readers a HAPPY EASTER 2018!
Yes, one of my sewing creations, quilted and padded place mats with matching napkins.
Photo got made on Sunday, March 20 of 2005
Gero Zilmeta 528 Menuet silverware and for dessert the Bridal Rose by Alvin in sterling silver.
Fragrant daffodils...
Used here in a table setting for a dear friend on her birthday in 2007
Same as the 1st photo but now with flash light.
Those picture frames are always lovely for individual use at table.
Round silver napkin rings we had made in Indonesia.

Wishing you a HAPPY EASTER WEEKEND!

    Oh my, dearest Mariette,
    You are truly patient!
    I've given up long ago on table art but I must admit your work is magnificent!
    And... the napkin rings to fit are superb!

      Just like you, I've given up on sewing projects; no more for me! Just mending things, that's all.
      It looks nice together and I made them 13 years ago, different times.
