Hello, Viewers!
Here is another retrospect - this time the yearly Chanukah dinner with the offspring.
As per usual, a color scheme took shape in my mind a couple of months in advance, and the weeks leading up to the event were spent in a fever of planning fantasies. Turquoise - techeles, the color of the sapphire flooring beneath the Heavenly Throne - was my choice this time, with a garnish of gold.
Gold doilies as placemats, disposable plates (for the perfect color!) and a gold-rimmed salad plate...
The centerpiece was constructed with a sparkly gold runner as a base, dotted with round gold votives and little sparkly turquoise balls...
The hot pink roses, in a ceramic vessel from Jerusalem, added a little touch of contrast, that took the table from pretty to spectacular (if I say so myself) ...
Golden birdcages had battery-operated pillar candles, and peacocks perched on top
The nighttime look, with all the candles lit...
A small, coordinated Princess Table for the granddaughters was a necessity in order to be able to shoehorn everybody in...
Their place settings were a little bit simplified...
...but on the other hand, they had fairy wands in their Moroccan tea glasses...and a batteried candle...
... which proved quite practical.
I can never get enough of this stuff...
Chanukah ambiance....
Regards from Rosebud!
Your home is beautiful! And I love the tablescapes!
