HAPPY NEW YEAR

Let the  New Year countdown begin!

I decided to set a table for a quiet cozy evening by the fire to celebrate New Year's Eve. Keeping it simple with a small table in front of the fireplace, I chose MacKenzie-Childs Parchment Check, so easy to work with for it's neutral color.  For the linens, a white placemat, (Kate Spade) with gold dots and napkins (Laura Ashley) with gold stripes. They both have "sparkle," what I love for a New Year's Eve setting. 

Dinner and Salad plates

I used a lot of pink trees for Christmas, ordered from Home Goods. I love the sparkle and gold tipped branches on these pink bottle brush trees, perfect for this table.

Oneida Louisiana flatware 

Gold rimmed bowls from my buffet serving sets I've accumulated over the years

New Year's Eve hats

Horns

Beaded Whistles

and Confetti stars for a festive touch

Juliska Amalia

Keeping dinner easy and delicious

tossed green salad and grilled filet mignon with a side of scalloped potatoes

For dessert

Baileys Irish cream coffee

And sweet nibbles

Later, a toast to the new year!

Vintage champagne bucket

Thank you dear friends for your friendship over the years. Wishing everyone good health and a blessed new year!

Cheers!

I’ve set a place for you tonight at my New Year’s Eve 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:

For Auld Lang Syne

Should old acquaintance be forgot,

and never brought to mind?

Should old acquaintance be forgot,

and

For auld lang syne, my dear,

for auld lang syne,

we’ll take a cup of kindness yet,

for auld lang syne.
