New Years Eve at The Junction

New Years Eve here in The Junction is like most anywhere else in the country. We still have snow from the Christmas weekend storm, so winter feels as though it has taken hold. We are all tired from a Christmas that seemed to come too soon after Thanksgiving, and for those of us who returned to work for just the two or three days in between - and I speak from what I know - it came a little too fast.
 However like time, and the marking of time, the day approached and I geared up for another 'holiday'.

New Years is a time of reflection. We look back on the past year and review. The highlights, the good times, the 'what ifs', and try to put it all in perspective for the upcoming year.
Hmmmmm,  not unlike my Tablescaping adventures!

For New Years Eve, I thought of reflection - in the silver, white and crystal theme I chose.
 Also like my wishes for the New Year, I wanted it to shine even though there were only going to be the four of us, I wanted it to be special and meaningful.
 Again, so similar to what I think we all wish for in the coming year. 

Welcome to -
 New Years Eve at the Junction

This setting reminds me of a Winter 'snowscape'

An all white damask Ralph Lauren tablecloth sets the theme

A silver candelabra lights the setting

with white candles -

the only light in the room

Crystal D'Arques Longshamps wine, water

and champagne flutes lend sparkle

Silver chargers and Oneida silver plate

 provide the glow

While white napkins trimmed with a silver band

 and a snowflake ring for bling add additional shine

The china is Noritake Adagio

Our wedding china selection

I love the shape of this tea cup

Buffet with champagne punch

Super easy and so yummy

 filled with love, peace, joy, health, wealth and happiness.
