For Auld Lang Syne
I’ve set a place for you tonight at my New Year’s table, along with places for loved ones and friends from long ago. So please join us for a toast at the stroke of midnight as we remember days gone by, and look forward to the start of a new year. In the words of Robert Burns, let’s sing that sweet song:
Should old acquaintance be forgot,
and never brought to mind?
Should old acquaintance be forgot,
and old lang syne?
CHORUS:
For auld lang syne, my dear,
for auld lang syne,
we’ll take a cup of kindness yet,
for auld lang syne.
New Years Tablescape
I love to use mercury glass and all that glitters. It shimmers and sparkles with candlelight. Glitter is my new favorite color!
A touch of blue for a pop of color.
A centerpiece using my glass ornament wreath. I filled it with silver baubles and starry string lights.
Coffee anyone?
A silver tray filled with champagne flutes for the ringing in the new year.
Welcome be ye that are here,
Welcome all and make good cheer,
Welcome all, another year.

And here’s to you, old friends and new alike. Saying goodbye to the old year and welcoming in 2014!
Cheers!
Glory to God in highest heaven,
Who into man His Son hath given;
While angels sing with tender mirth,
A glad new year to all the earth!
~Martin Luther

ReplyDeleteMuch happiness in 2014!
Your tablescape is lovely and very elegant! I love your mercury glass collection.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful table. Happy New Year
ReplyDeleteGorgeous, Emily! I really like the clock cups and roman numeral clock edges on the plates--perfect for New Year's. We had a music gig early last night, and then went to a friend's party to ring in the New Years!
ReplyDeleteSo Beautiful! Your centerpiece is stunning and love the glow of the candles. It all looks serene yet festive - perfect for reflecting on the old and celebrating the new! Enjoyed seeing the Martin Luther quote too. Happy New Year!

What a beautiful post- a very Happy New Year to you- xo Diana
ReplyDeleteThe table is beautiful, but those flutes stole my heart! Dianne
ReplyDeleteLooks like we used the same color scheme, your table is so beautiful, cheerful and elegant. happy New Year to you and your family, Emily...christine
ReplyDeleteSo very pretty!! I love your dishes and am swooning over your champagne flutes!! Rosie @ The Magic Hutch

ReplyDeleteBwahahahahahahaha! I love that: Glitter is my new favorite color!!! I guess it's been one of my favorites for a long time, too, so I'm on board with ya, sister!
ReplyDeleteThat was a cool idea to use the wreath that was already laden with baubles and then fill it with even MORE baubles. Very pretty!
This table is gorgeous, and I love that you extended all the pretties to the buffet behind the table. It just makes the room look fully dressed and perfectly balanced. I'm with Dianne: Your champagne flute and wine stem design is remarkably beautiful!!! I could just sit around all night holding an empty glass...just because they're so pretty! :-)
The votives are perfect for this table with their glimmering rims, and the clock dishes are fun! I wish I could find some. I saw some at Burlington a couple of years ago but left them there. How profoundly stupid was that??!?!??! Haven't been able to find any in my price range since. Darn it! I'll know better next time! Get it? Next "time"? :-) :-) :-)
Happy New Year to you and yours, dear Emily!
Bonne et heureuse année ainsi qu'à tous ceux que tu aimes.
ReplyDeleteGros bisous
