Today is the Epiphany, Little Christmas, Three Kings Day.
To celebrate the end of the Christmas season, I chose the last gift..Gold..plus I didn’t think myrrh and frankincense were good inspiration points..:)
I used a Quaker Cotton Lace tablecloth my mom gave me when I was first married…a gold and pearl garland for a little bling.
Gold glass chargers from Pier One…
The plates are Lenox Eternal. little cut glass bowls underneath, they were my mom's, gold etched stems, Gold glittered gift box place markers, Villeroy and Boch..
The centerpiece is in a Revere bowl I spray painted gold, with hydrangeas I sprayed gold too. ( Kammy, the spray paint queen, will be so proud of me!)
Fresh white mums, and a gold beaded garland I got at Villeroy and Boch.
Star mirrors are from WSonoma Outlet.
White napkins, tied with gold and white striped ribbon and some gold berries and “gifts”. A cheapie dollar store gold runner for texture..
The flatware is trimmed with gold..by Wallace..
Gold candles in candlesticks by Mikassa..gold trimmed bobeches
Thank you Susan, for hosting ..:)

Beautiful, as always ... Kathleen, I had posted a reply to your question about the Christmas cake ornaments, but then I just realized you may not have seen it ... so here it is in case:
ReplyDeleteI've had them all a while ... One stand was from a store in the city that went out of business a few years ago, the little french pastry ones were from AI Friedman art store a few years ago, and the red and white cake stands were from anthropologie about 5 years ago. The cupcake stand was from Runcible Spoon in Newport. I will keep my eyes open for you if I see any more.
Oh so beautiful Kathleen! Love the gold and the theme of your table...glorious.
ReplyDeleteLove those goblets and the way you staged the napkins!!
What a pretty, sparkly table.
ReplyDeleteAll the beads in the centerpiece make me think of a wedding bouquet.
Love it! What a beautiful table!
ReplyDeleteOh this is so lovely and bright!
ReplyDeleteJoyfully,
~Maria
Thia one's beautiful, Kathleen! Stunning! I love those glasses! Very elegant table!
ReplyDeleteI'll start stocking up on my Lucky Charms, I'm in!
Kathleen:
ReplyDeleteThis is absolutely positively goregeous! I love it. I love all of the history, particularly about the tablecloth. But my MOST favorite are the wine glasses. The etching is exquisite. Just spectacular.

A lovely elegant table! I'd love to be a guest!
ReplyDeleteI love the gorgeous goldness. The etched glasses are so dainty. We're supposed to get snow tonight, and my husband brought home Ramen noodles, crackers, and peanut butter. He's getting ready to hunker down and eat carbs, I can tell! See you tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteKathleen this is a gorgeous tablescape! Everything is just perfect.
ReplyDeleteA St Paddy's Day blog crawl sounds like fun! Last year I went to the parade in Manhattan but I don't think I'll go this year. It was fun, but so crowded, and everyone in the crowd was under 25...I felt old!
PS: I was in Colordo a whole 9 days in December! You dodn't miss me? lol!
Quite elegance and just stunning.
ReplyDeleteI love every thing you have here..
Beautiful!
Kathleen, your creativity and imagination know no bounds (but I've told you that time and time before!) :) I love it.
ReplyDeleteYou've combined such great elements to make a very elegant table. It is beautiful!
WHAT? You spray painted a Revere bowl? *thud* You're brave.
xo
Oh what a pretty golden sparkly table. This is so inviting.
ReplyDeleteI love how you incorporated the Feast of the 3 Kings to your tablescape, Kathleen. It is so pretty!...Christine
ReplyDeleteHow gorgeous is that!! Absolutely beautiful! Love it all!
ReplyDeleteKatherine
WS has an outlet?? This is gorgeous. I love the centerpiece. I should have picked up some fresh flowers at the store tonight...horrible winter storm on the way, so depressing. Everything just looks beautiful.
ReplyDeleteSue
Just lovely and sparkley. Another winner, so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteOh, so elegant...just beautiful, K! I love the white and gold with the crystal. I am still laughing at your comment about Howard!
ReplyDeleteKathleen, all I can say about this table is, Wow! That is just so posh and beautiful! Yeah, I'm glad that I'll have more time to play with you all again. LOL
ReplyDeleteWith the white, gold and crystal elements, this is such a lovely elegant tablescape. Love it! --Delores
ReplyDeleteHi Kathleen,

A St.Paddies Day Party sounds fun, I don't have anything but I will have to be a lookin! I would just love to see where you store all your pretties, it must look like a fabulous store! Stay Warm, Cindy
This is beautiful! I love the tablecloth and everything just sparkles:>)

ReplyDeleteYour table is so elegant, Kathleen. You are so talented in putting together stunning settings. The etched glasses especially caught my eye. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteWhat a way to start the new year~it would be such a special treat to sit at your table.
ReplyDeleteI created a 3 Kings tablescape too. Great minds...
Oops, I mentioned your gorgeous table in the post below. It is so elegant and beautiful with all the touches of gold, Kathleen! Fit for a king :)
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful, Kathleen!
ReplyDeleteI'm appreciative but not usually impressed. You impressed me with this tablescape. Very nicely done.
ReplyDeleteKathleen, this is just gorgeous! Your tablecloth is so pretty and set a lovely background for all of your golds and creams. Your stemware is absolutely stunning. You are one talented lady! Thanks for sharing and happy TT to you.
ReplyDeleteI this is one of my very favorite of your tablesettings. I love the bling in the centerpiece, the gold rimmed plates & goblets and the star mirrors - oh heck, I love everything I see!
ReplyDeleteThe new header photo is gorgeous as well - you do the metallics well!
Absolutely stunningly gorgeous. You had me at Lenox Eternal.
ReplyDeleteKathleen-I think you hang out at William Sonoma :) This is gorgeous and I especially love your centerpiece--you must have spray painted in the garage :). We only celebrate epiphany in church, but I love the idea of making it something special at home. Thanks for visiting and don't laugh...the schools are closed. We are crippled by snowflakes!
ReplyDeleteKathleen, gold's a great choice; I've always been fond of gold. :) You just keep outdoing yourself. I LOVE it!
ReplyDeleteThe star mirrors and the present name holders are wonderful. But my absolute favorite item is the beautiful tablecloth. What a lovely keepsake.
Thank you for sharing this beautiful table. Love the gold and silver together and your mom's gold rimmed etched stems are so pretty. ~ Sarah
ReplyDeleteKathleen~~~
ReplyDeleteYou set an elegant and stunning table here. I just love it. The tablecloth is beautiful and I love all of the gold rimmed dishes and glassware. How beautiful!!
Happy Tablescape Thursday, my friend! :-)
Hi Kathleen....beautiful tablescape. My mother had those same goblets...they are so pretty.
ReplyDeleteI forgot to tell you that I went to the Christmas Tree Store while I was in Jersey....I was surprised that there was nothing left that was Christmas??.....but I did score braided chair seats for my DR for all of $1.50 a piece and i got a great big throw pillow that looks like a cable knit sweater with buttons and all for the huge sum of $2.50.....thanks for telling me about it....Sue.
I am laughing at your Al Gore comment on my post today. If it gets any colder here I may just have to buy myself one of those Snuggies but with a NY logo on it:)
ReplyDeleteJoyce
Hi Kathleen - Happy New Year to you...:o)
ReplyDeleteYour table is so very elegant! I love the gold, very pretty. I NEED those star mirrors...LOL. You find the best stuff at WSonoma Outlet.
Have a great evening,
Tam
I Love the way you twisted the gold scarf. Your table is beautiful!
ReplyDelete~Liz
What a great idea for Epiphany! I thought about doing a 'scape with The 3 kings/wisemen but didn't have much to work with but LOVE your take on the "gold" part of the event! You did it up right too! Everything seems "golden"! I like the star mirrors with the gold gifts on them - perfect!
ReplyDeleteOur decorations are staying up for at least another week..maybe longer!
DD
Hey Kathleen! How the heck are you?
ReplyDeleteGorgeous table..but I would not expect anything else.
Hope you had a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Oh Kathleen, this tablescape is stunning! That etched stemware and gold-rimmed plates are so elegant. And look at you, spray painting your bowl and your hydrangeas! I'm so impressed. The star mirrors are the perfect reflective touch, and I love that tablecloth. I guess you're still under snow. Stay warm! laurie
ReplyDeleteYour tablescape is just stunning! Beautiful, so lovely!! Love it!!!
ReplyDeleteOh it is so beautiful and elegant!! That stemware is beautiful also. Absolutely gorgeous table!!
ReplyDeleteThe Lenox "Eternal" plates are appropriately-named, and one which results in an elegant and ethereal table.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year to you!
Always a gorgeous tablescape, Kathleen! I love seeing your Mom's things.
ReplyDeleteJust beautiful Kathleen!! I love all of the details....great job!!
ReplyDeleteJust gorgeous Kathleen..can't wait for the blog crawl!
ReplyDeleteHi Kathleen !
ReplyDeleteWow, what a great table for the beginning of the year ! You are so
creative and
I am very proud of you to paint that centerpiece - the flowers too ??? You know how I feel about gaudy gold....but, you did it well and looks really elegant. I love how you used a gold pen for the placecards and the beads strung about..and those pears - wow - I think we need to have a party and show everyone where we keep it all, LOL - lets wait till spring so I can clean out my area, LOL.
! Where ever did you find warm enough place to spray ? We have had DAYS of below zero, brrrrrr .
Blog crawl... St Pattys day....do we have to drink Irish whiskey ?
Hugs ~
Kammy
Kathleen, your table is so beautifully elegant. I adore your stemware and the little place card holders are so cute. I can't wait to see what you come up with next!
ReplyDeleteDang....I could have SWORN I posted on this thread! Its floating in cyberspace still.
ReplyDeleteYour table is lovely & I adore you Mom's beautiful gift of that tablecloth. I also ♥ your mom's gold rimmed etched stems!
We both have the Eternal china, ya' know. :D :D Great minds & all!
I would love to help you learn how to make some pillowcase dresses for your DGD Lilly. Here is a link to a friend's instructions.

Just copy & paste that line into the address bar. The only difference in mine in the photo with the pink tree is that I did Caroline's monogram in machine embroidery on a separate piece, which I then folded back fully, to hide the back of the stitching & hemmed that entire depth. It gave it some nice weight at the bottom. Easy~Peasy~
Sure would love to have the access to the designers fabric warehouse like you....I would go bonkers over such deals!!
Let me know if you have any trouble figuring out the dress.
fondly,
Rett
This is such a beautiful tablescape! I have the Lenox Eternal...I LOVE the goblets, they are perfect for this elegant setting! Just beautiful. I hope you have a fabulous new year!
