Quot estis in convivio - all who are feasting
together

Sometimes you feel like busting out the Cambridge stemware and tablecloth for holiday
dinner celebrations. Christmas falls
after a weekend this year so there may a ghost of a chance to spend a day
making your table special.
Ideas for pull-out-the-stops elegance:
- Glass sparkles in candlelight so load it on the table
- Use taper candles – the height of their light flatters the table
- Spray evergreens with aerosol adhesive and dust with 70 grit German glass glitter
- Place vintage ornaments along the evergreens
- Cinch huge napkins with a small length of silver chenille (pipe cleaner)
- Use chargers or larger plates under the dinner plates
- Print French handwriting graphics on two pieces of paper, tape together, cut the edges with pinking shears, and write a loving message to your guest
Avoid hurrying around by setting up as far in advance as
possible. The candles clipped onto the plates is a photo shoot anachronism. In real life they'd make too much of a mess at dinner (where does one put it after it's blown out?). It’s more important you relax
and enjoy your guests than having everything perfect!

Your Christmas table is beautiful. I think you just started a new trend by placing the knife and fork on opposite sides of the dinner plate, from the traditional placement of silverware. Elegant, shabby and unique. I like it.
Hope you have a blessed Christmas.
