Happy New Year 2019!!

Happy New Year, everyone! Here's wishing you all a very peaceful and prosperous 2019!! And hopefully, everybody stays healthy.

For my table, I chose to mix silver, grey and turquoise colors

I started with a fluted silver plate charger, topped with a turquoise dinner plate, a set I bought from Homegoods while visiting my mom in Illinois a few years ago, and layered with oval grey "CMG" Portuguese salad plates and soup bowls. The pattern name is "Sari". I had bought these from Horchow many years ago. I love the ruffled edges of the bowls and the subtle design on the plates.

I even found a similar design on the napkins from Pier 1, also from a few years back. Most of my tableware have been accumulated from many years back, since we have downsized quite a bit and I pretty much stopped buying, due to major shortage of storage space.

Do you still have your Christmas decorations up? I usually leave mine until the Feast of the Three Kings on Jan. 6. That has been the tradition that I grew up with in the Philippines.

I love decorating new year's table with snowflakes. Although it's been a really hot winter here in Florida, it somehow makes it feel cooler with the snowflakes.

I also like using this chickadee tea set for winter settings.

And there it is, our new year's table for 2019. I don't even think we will get to use it since we are invited to a party on New Year's eve, unless I have some unexpected guests come on New Year's Day.

I hope you all enjoy the holiday and you all stay safe if you are going out.

Thanks for your visit!

Fall Table, October, 2018

I set this table last month but never posted it. I better post it now cause Fall will be behind us pretty soon.

I started with a paisley printed tablecloth with earth tones

I think it is pretty simple, using Better Homes and Garden Fall dinnerware. I love that they come in different patterns cause sometimes matchy matchy bores me ,though I like them too. After all, dishaholic me likes all kinds of dishes, lol.
