Tablescape Tuesday...



Tuesday is Little Christmas, Three Kings Day, the day the Magi arrived with GIFTS for the newborn King...Following the STAR....

So I thought I would go with a King menu, and some stars and gifts and shimmering silver...fresh out of frankincense and myrrh

The glasses are Waterford...the plates Crown Victoria Lovelace ...from a supermarket in the 80's?...I used to use them for buffet parties..
The wreath around the hurricane is from Pottery Barn...

The gifts are boxes of Dove soap, LOL..for a clean Little Christmas!
I believe in practical gifts..:)

The little sterling silver bud vase was from a Delta Zeta formal in college..It has a few dings, but as survived all these years!

Thank you, Susan.... for the kind invitation!

Tonight the 11th day of Christmas , I used the mats I got the other day in WSonoma...
Dinner was pork cutlets, cauliflower casserole, and pierrogi...
