Jacqueline
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."

One of the most charming things about your blog is your imagination, and how you can think of a scene, and it just magically comes to life as you create. This is simply lovely, with all the white and silver.

Oh, so pretty - love all of the crowns. Also, I was delighted to learn that the feathers could be cleaned. What a fabulous table full of delights!!
ReplyDeleteThis is absolutely stunning! At first I was worried about cleaning the feathers, but your comment about birds makes perfect sense.

ReplyDeleteWow that's a beautiful table! I got some flatware from Horchow once, went back to order a 2nd and they were already discontinued! Good thing you got what you needed! Have yourself a Merry Christmas and lots of good family time!

Simply Stunning Jacqueline! The feather boa mats are equally stunning in white as they were in aqua, and they are so you!! That's funny about your guests worrying about spills~ The crown dishware is gorgeous and so perfect for this most special of special occasions~
ReplyDeleteHappy holidays to you and your family,

This is just stunning. I love those feather placemats and the dinnerware, the goblets, everything! Best of all, it's in honor of the King.
ReplyDeleteThis table is indeed fit for a future king!!! Wow, Jacqueline...you really pulled out all the stops!!!
ReplyDeleteI can appreciate your guests' concerns about getting food on the feathers, but I love your gracious response. I don't ever put anything on a table that I would have a cow over getting messed up. If it's on the table, it's cool to use it!!!
Too bad about the discontinued flatware because it really is gorgeous. That would have been a very welcome addition to my stash!!!
I wouldn't mind at all having a seat at this table to help you and your family celebrate the Christmas season. Thank you so much for sharing this and all of the gorgeous tablescapes you've brought to us in 2014. Looking forward to the New Year! Merry Christmas to you and yours!
Just beautiful! This would be a great setting for New Years Eve. Always love to see your delightful table settings.
