Join me for an early evening dinner party for a group of my girlfriends and myself...We'll join the men later for the movie- The King's Speech
Let's check out the table I've prepared....
I love these tulips, I hope they last a while so
I can enjoy them even more!
Night is falling, it's time!
I can enjoy them even more!
With Valentine's Day in mind I've set the table for us ladies
I've kept it feminine with accents of pink and pearls

A salad will be served, dinner rolls, chicken, rice, asparagus and wine!
Each guest has a place card to welcome them...
This china is by Noritake called Yoshino...
The soft pink salad plates were a gift for a birthday to me from my mother several years ago. I love the rose pattern etched along the side.
The Pink plates were ordered from the Ross Simons Catalog and were an made in Germany, but I don't know any other information about them.
My flatware is by Wallace, called Euro Beads and
the Napkins are from Pier 1 Imports...the Napkin
Rings are from Kohls

I dressed the center area with a soft pink set of pearl garland
The colors in the china are pretty, I loved the green band on the
coffee cup saucers
I filled two inexpensive glass vases with clear glass beads, added some tulips
and baby's breath
My Crystal is by Mikasa, called Windlass
I added a small chocolate treat for everyone..
We girls have to have our chocolate!
The little votives came from a local store
called The Candle Factory, they sell a great variety of candles
and all things related- I spend way too much money there!

The Pink Vase is another piece my mother gave me after she saw me admiring it at a store..I haven't had a lot of chances to use it but it worked out well for this!
Mom is 88 now and I appreciate the gifts she's given me
more than ever these days..
I lit a small candle votive that I put down inside it to create a soft glow...
I hope you enjoyed my first tablescape and I look forward to doing many more...
Thank-you for stopping by- I welcome your comments!
