Table Scapes

An artfully arranged and beautifully set table lovingly prepared for the feast, but not before our eyes feast on the veritable cornucopia of delights before us.

Smooth china .. transparent crystal .. slightly nubby linens .. velvety floral petals .. spiky greenery .. the patina of aged silver with the tarnish worn in the pattern, the soft gloss of the wood on the tabletop and candlelight flickering.

Setting the table with fine china, crystal, linen, the silver tea service, flowers & candles.

Before I indulge in the gastronomic delights before me, I let my eyes take in the beauty of the table scape as my mind conjures up names like Waterford, Wedgewood, Spode, Denby, Lenox, Royal Worcester, Mikasa, Villeroy & Boch, Royal Doulton.

Simple but elegant.

Bring out meaningful items to decorate your table. Who says everything has to match? The bunny provides an interesting touch of whimsy to the china, silver & crystal.

A romantic dinner for two by the fire..... Don't skimp here, bring out the good stuff. If it is good enough for company, surely it is good enough for you and your sweetheart.

A simply stunning thanksgiving table.
Classic blue & white paired with a magnificent floral centrepiece.

And, don't forget the candles .... it adds a soft glow making everything look more appetizing.
