Recently, my friend, Debbie had a group of girlfriends
from her old neighborhood over for dinner.
Nothing like a dinner party to get your home in top form.
Some of the ladies hadn’t seen her home before.
They met each other when their children were small.
This is a tradition that they started to stay in touch.
Debbie borrowed my salad plates and rattan chargers
(that’s what friends are for).
She created the center piece with small green and white plants
in gray and white containers.
The charcoal linen napkins are from Matteo.
I’m hoping to borrow her Venetian style glass votives some day.
I’m sure her guests felt special. Wouldn’t you?
Each friend received a striped
cotton cosmetic bag as a party favor.
When I last posted about Debbie’s house,
there were a few emails requesting
information about this bench.
It is by Louis J. Soloman.
The aqua leopard fabric is
The bench can be ordered in different finishes.
This arrangement was from one of Debbie’s guests.
God bless Oklahoma.

Juliska and Vietri have good white plates. Don't know about the pewter but the round mats are from Pier One.
The 5 Bickies says
The table is so beautifully set….what a wonderful evening together!
I adore the Juliska china and think it's a great idea to use them for salad plates with a nice plain white. Do you have any white china suggestions? Also, will you share the source for the round mats – love that look with it.
Do you have the Juliska that looks like pewter? I am curious about their products holding up.

Que capricho e bom gosto na arrumação desta mesa. Adorei cada detalhe. Linda sua louça.
Espero que todos estejam bem, e o furacão não tenha feito nenhum estrago.
Tenha um ótimo dia.
