FABBY: Dinner Party for our Nephew

Our darling, tall, handsome and wonderful nephew came for a two week visit, to his parents, my brother Joe and his wife, Lourdes, who is hubby's sister..YES, I'm married to Alejandro and my brother is married to his sister!  Therefore, we both share the joy of having this wonderful and handsome boy as "our" nephew, who will be graduating from Berklee College of Music in Boston next year, with a career in Music Engineering...we are so proud. 

Last night I made a quick dinner in Daniel's honor, with eight members of our family and that's why the table is in my blue and white onion dishes, silver tablecloth, chargers and candle holders.  I was so lucky that the centerpiece it's still so fresh and pretty, from my last table scape, five days ago. I mentioned last week that, weather around my neck of the woods is like Fall right now.

I thought it was a masculine table for our nephew, in blue and white, with silver.

 In Oct., or Nov. 2011 we changed our window treatment, from draperies to Hunter Douglas shades and so I had made a tablecloth from the dining room curtains and here it is.

 I had this tablecloth from a fine fabric made out of our dining room draperies. It has very soft gold and blue cris-cross lines running  thru it and the background of the thick satin, is silvery.

 For the silver accent I used my pewter chargers and bread plates to match, as you can see the table topper is silvery too.

The tablecloth cost me to re-purpose it from the curtains only $8, that the seamstress charged me for making it.

 I had this kind of wide pleats made all around it, cause the curtain material wasn't wide enough for the dinner table.

 After five days and the centerpiece it's still fresh and pretty in my galvanized vase. Mercury glass candle holders for more silver touches.

 Blue butterfly napkin ring, made at our former Ceramic Co.

Lots of blue for our dear nephew Daniel.

 In the back drop a tea station.

I hope you liked it.
