{PERFECT TABLE SETTING}

Having fun while browsing for few ideas for the perfect table setting for the upcoming Holiday Season! I found this gorgeous pictures ... Hope you enjoy them and get some inspiration as well!



Gold is such a lovely alternative. It has a warmer feeling and the table designed by Carolyne Roehm above and top has a beautiful mix of colors that adds to that warmness.


For those who prefer darker colors, this table from Ralph Lauren Home mixes gold, silver and black that would be perfect for a more masculine setting.


There is a simple elegance to this table setting that I absolutely love!



This table also doesn't worry about matching china or flatware and as you can see, there are actually two tables. A few smaller tables sometimes with less people make for a better party than one big long table. For fun, you can have people change seats between courses.

{SILVER LINING}





I am in love with these silver tins for my sugar or coffee. But while I'm wishing I thought I'd throw in the treats tin. I love treats and I would love even more to have a pretty tin to put them in. And then, of course, why not a toast rack because everyone needs one of those. Toast and tea, there is nothing better, in my opinion, except maybe a little butter and jam on the toast.

Have a great week!

{Bonjour ... Ladurée in NYC! }





These gorgeous ceramic candles from the famed Parisian pastry icon Ladurée are finally available in the USA exclusively at Aedes de Venustas in NYC. Yummy flavors include Caramel au beurre salé {caramel with salted butter}, Mille et Une Nuits {a spicy, woodsy scent}, date, Fleur de Oranger, violet, Mimosa, and many more. Almost as tasty as a macaron!

And, the boxes are almost as pretty as the ceramic pots. So, if you can't make it to Paris for a macaron, visit Aedes de Venustas here and treat yourself to a pretty candle!
