Today is a day when people in blogland start setting their table in a special way. Thanks to Susan of http://betweennapsontheporch.blogspot.com/ for giving dishaholics like me something exciting to do every single week. Be sure you visit her and her participants.
I had this table setting 2 weeks ago during our wedding anniversary. I did not have a chance to post it sooner because so much have been going on at home.
Anyway, I set a simple table for 2 using Biltmore For Your Home's fine china in Holland Platinum pattern
I just love the platinum medallion on the salad plates.
After you see my tablescape, I would really love for you to go down one more post to see my ancestral home. It has a very interesting history. Thanks.
I picked 3 roses from the garden and placed them in a black vase and added a hurricane candle holder for my centerpiece.
Vintage lace table cloth from an auction
crystal candle holders from TJ Maxx
I just wrapped the napkins with a red wooden rose.
I had the dinner set on the game table in the family room.
We had rice, stuffed chicken with crawfish and seafood gumbo.
Yum!
Thanks for your visit. It's always appreciated. Thanks Susan for hosting.

Christine, Happy Anniversary!
I hope you and John have many more happy years together.
Loved seeing your table, and your menu looked so yummy. I knew that was gumbo! YUM! Grew up eating it.
I shared my MIL's 80th birthday party for this week. She's a special lady.
Happy Tablescape Thursday...

P.S. We have a fall anniversary, too, but Mr. Magpie was in the hospital when we had it! Not recommended. LOL! ;-)

Beautiful table! Happy Anniversary! I also went back and looked at your previous post. Your ancestral home is just lovely! I would love to be a kid growing up in that huge house. The spiral staircase alone would be fun for a young child! Thank you for sharing it with us!

Christine, I wish you a belated happy anniversary! I have never seen that china pattern, but it is lovely! It looks so elegant with the silver elements and the black stemware adds drama, as do the red roses. Very romantic!
Hi Christine! Thanks so much for sending me to the post about your home! I don't know how I missed it! What a lovely place with so much history surrounding it! You must be so proud to be connected to it and all of the wonderful memories that you have from living there. It's simply gorgeous...nothing like it here in the US! Have a great day!...hugs...Debbie
Hi Christine,
I think your idea of a "simple table" is very similar to my own concept of simplicity. ;)
Yours is simply stunning and VERY elegant! Your meal sounds wonderful! I just ate lunch, but your chicken and gumbo are making me hungry again!
I'll definitely check out your previous post. Talk soon ....
Bill
Sweet table. I adore the china, it is lovely.
Happy Anniversary to you and John! And your tablescape was gorgeous! The black plates and silverware look so unique and beautiful. And that chicken looks pretty beautiful too! :)
Hope you enjoyed your special dinner.
Best,
Gloria
P.S. I forgot to say: My mother had that tablecloth when I was little! I don't know what happened to it. Sad, no? I will have to look in some old suitcases... it might be in there. Although I hate to say that I think it's gone. :(
Your china is absolutely stunning, Christine! I love the black and white and your roses make everything look classic. And you cooked!! The chicken looks fantastic as does the gumbo. I'll bet John was a happy guy! Happy Anniversary!
XO,
Janie
Congrats Te Xin...
A wonderful bonding with the dearie in heart, di ba?
And of course, the nostalgia moment is heartbreaking, in my part. I guess, pusong mamon ako eh? Everytime I heard stories with our past, my heart aches.
Hope you have many anniversary to come.
Hugs to you both.
Happy TS, Lady & enjoy the week-end ahead.
