But not dark green . . . it had to be sort of a chartreuse green . . .
One of the little boxes that received the "hot glue" treatment . . . They contained Fannie May truffles . . .
The Christmas tree place card holders were a serendipitous find at Crate and Barrel . . . Each guest got to take one home to hang on their tree . . .
The china pattern is Federal Platinum by Lenox . . .
Chargers from Pottery Barn . . . Flatware from our local grocery store bought about 10 years ago in one of those spend-a-million-dollars-and-you-can-have-a-place-setting-for-$2 schemes . . . The napkins are embroidered with our last name initial, a find at Williams-Sonoma . . .
View of the auxiliary table with our Living-Room-turned-Library in the background . . .
The centerpieces contained calla lilies, miniature green hydrangeas, dendrobium orchids, white roses and green berries, resting on a bed of evergreens and accented with touches of silver, with 15-inch white candles rising from the center . . .
View of both tables . . .
We didn't have enough glasses of any one kind, so we mixed them up . . . On the table are Colonial Williamsburg's Winter's Garland (green water goblets), Atlantis Chartres (from our wedding), Riley stemware (Crate and Barrel) . . .
Tomorrow we'll talk about the food . . . and the company!!! Merry Christmas to everyone!
