Chocolat - French for Chocolate. I adored chocolate from a young age when I had to sneak in the cupboard to find where my mother had hidden the Nestle's Chocolate Chips. Having read about the famous chocolat shoppes in Paris, when I finally got there I was determined to try a chocolate from every Paris shoppe. I invite you to share my adventures in creating, in travel, and in life.

Words to Eat By
"Though never a very good dieter, she'd found a rule of thumb that kept her from blimping out as her metabolism aged - eat what you want, but not all of it. So if she wanted cheesecake, she made cheesecake, had a slice, and took the rest to a friend or someone in her church who needed a pick-me-up."

ReplyDeleteSo beautiful. It's a shame one piece broke. I carried home two large glass candle votives from Switzerland and would have cried had they broken. I love the colors and the way you layered the cloths and the placemats and the square plate is wonderful too!

The colors for this table are really, really stunning to me. I have always loved the Tuscan look. It just has a certain warmth to it all its own. My favorite part of tthe table is the place setting. Those square dishes are so unique and pretty! Love the WHOLE thing.

I love the Tuscan colours and you've created a wonderful 'scape with them! Those plates and the centerpiece grouping all combine to give an Italian feel. That pitcher is gorgeous! What a lovely outdoor setting too!

Beautiful Tuscan table...love the olive branch plates...the pitcher is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteJust gorgeous! I love those plates, and your green and gold glassware is just perfect. Great centerpiece, too!
ReplyDeleteJacqueline, I always spend lots of time looking at your photos and enlarging them so I can see every detail. These colors are beautiful and I can see why you purchased that pitcher. I had fresh pressed olive oil once in Italy and it was delicious! This is a beautiful table--I could sit here for hours just like they do in Italy! Linda
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! I do love that pitcher! This looks like the perfect Tuscan table.
ReplyDeleteI love your Tuscan colors and the setting is really gorgeous. I collect Italian pottery and your pitcher is wonderful. Is the design painted on the back wall?
ReplyDeleteLove it.
