It all started with the dishes. You can read the story of me chasing them all over the south HERE. I usually change my decor between Christmas and NYE/Anniversary and the decorated tree is just in the background. This year the color I chose posed a challenge. I had to have a new tree and new decorations for my Christmas table so the NYE table needed to coordinate with the tree. So I went with the same place setting, but then "glammed" it up for NYE.
The blue mesh is hiding a secret that will be revealed after dark.
The same place setting as Christmas, but with new napkins make by my friend Libby. I made the runners to use instead of placemats.
I found the frames in my craft supplies and just touched them with a little silver pigment ink. If you are a crafter, you know pigment ink doesn't EVER dry on plastic so I had to warn everyone not to touch them.
I want to thank each and every one of you who visited my blog and left such kind, sweet and encouraging comments. It has been a busy, but good year and I am welcoming the new year with anticipation as it draws me one year closer to "RETIREMENT!" I hope 2014 brings you health, love, and peace. Dianne

Everything is so pretty. I love the colors and those paper fortune cookies are just too cute!!
ReplyDeleteSo fabulous Diane! Aqua is my favorite color and I think it is perfect for the holidays paired with lots of silver sparkle!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful party, love that you had lights on your table!
Jenna
Oh I forgot to mention the cookies! Awesome!!

You MADE the runners??? Aaaarrrggghhhhh!!!!!! I WISH I could sew!!! Great job, and they look absolutely perfect here! When I think about it, I guess you would pretty much have to make runners for a table as long as yours since they make pretty much all runners in that standard 72" length.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tip on the pigment ink. I have never tried to use it before, but I had plans for it coming up. Looks like there will be a change of plans! :-)
PRETTY photo of the chair ties!
I can see the lights under the mesh! WOW....I bet THAT really got lots of oohs and ahs out of guests!
My sister makes those fortune cookies, too, and they're really cool. I have some for several different occasions, but I haven't had a chance to use them just yet.
One year closer to retirement, eh? You're gonna love it! Start watching "Dancing With the Stars" so that when you leave the building you can do a really cool Happy Dance! :-) Happy New Year, my friend! Enjoy!!!
Love this sparkly table...beautiful! The blue is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteYou did a wonderful job. Just so pretty, and I know your guests loved it! I love that you had twinkle lights under the mesh, and those fortune cookies are adorable! These are colors I love so I would have been very happy at that table!
ReplyDeleteAll the best for you in 2014!

Stunningly beautiful!! I love your color choices and your reference to the Home Goods store in Destin. I am over-the-moon, about the opening of that store. I do not have one near me at home, but I am already addicted to that one, when I am at the beach. Try to leave me some pretties, Dianne - lol! Love this post!!!!
ReplyDeleteWith turquoise being the most BEAUTIFUL COLOR ON THE PLANET (according to moi, that is..:), your entire room just takes my breath away....
