Bright Winter's Table

Talk about a wild mix of colors for this week's table.....Pat used a napkin/place mat as the inspiration for her color choice of dinnerware.

Valentine's Day Table

Time to celebrate St. Valentine and his day. Pat set this week's Table for One with him in mind:

Flatware is "Pendulum" by Robert Welch - I found it at Bed, Bath, and Beyond on a sale shelf years ago

Pat stepped out of her comfort zone and chose this napkin ring - I love highly decorative ( I should just say gaudy) napkin rings  but Pat is usually a bit more "constrained"

Pier 1 used to bring these glasses out at Christmas time but we use them all year long
