I, AND EVERYONE ELSE, COULD BUY THEM FOR $ 4, 25 THE BUNCH OF 25 ROSES; HERE IN MY BIL'S STORE, BUT NOW THEY WERE $ 7 BECAUSE OF VALENTINE SEASON.  THEY'RE  2 MT'S. TALL, SUCH LARGE STEMS!



WE HAD A WONDERFUL EVENING WITH ALL OUR DEAR FRIENDS.

I HOPE YOU LIKE MY TABLE-SETTINGS AND FLOWERS.


I love the Chinese figurines Alejandro bought on a trip to the capital.
I don't recall how long ago.

 
This beautiful vintage, Italian silk brocade tablecloth is a heirloom from my dear Mil. 
My mother in law  left it to my hubby as it's unique and so elegant. 

 
I love doing flower arrangements, one of the best things about having guests for dinner, besides tablescaping, which is my very favorite part, specially choosing the dishes, stems, flatware and table toppers, of course. 
Beautiful hot pink roses.

The star lilies are so beautiful too, although hubby hates their scent, lol..

 
Orchids... just love them!  There are such immense variety in this country.

Gorgeous orchid for the coffee table.

I love the color of the green-yellow roses.

The flower arrangement at our den's coffee table. 
Our den is close by our formal living room and it also has a counter bar, therefore we can have guests sitting in both areas and still be near to mingle among each other.

This gorgeous roses are from my Bil's Rose Farm, Altaflor.  He exports them to many parts the world.

 
This round table will be seating eight guests for dinner.
The china is Tognana, made in Italy.

The large table will be for eight dinner guests, as well.
The flower bowl, with a basket weave pattern in the crystal is German..it was a gift from hubby several years ago for one of my b'days.

The organza cut work tablecloth is from Spain.


The glass chargers are from Turkey.

The white dishware is Noritake,"White Scapes".

 The white table you see against the wall, at your left is where I will serve the buffet.

  Thank you for dropping by and for the sweet and generous comments you leave me, you always make my day!

Thanking all the lovely ladies for the great parties I will be joining.

LOVE,
