Blue for Two

16 years ago

Since I couldn't use my dining table because of the puzzle we have been working on, I set the little game table in our den for two. My favorite part was the little vintage cobalt lamp, I think it makes it look like a 1930's nightclub table. I'm sorry, my photgraphy skills are still lacking. Syble

    Syble:
    Thank you for posting your setting. I was looking forward to seeing and it is lovely as I expected.
    I think the snowmen are adorable! and such a creative way to display them.
    I love your blue glasses and the lamp to match.

    My gosh Syble, it sure does look a restaurant right out of old Hollywood, at least what I can remember from the movies. Wish things were as glamorous as they used to be 'back then'...everyone dressed up, and you didn't need a reason. I miss that!

    Will you be serving cordon bleu and Martini's? I think I would be happy with tomato soup with such a beautiful table setting~presentation, presentation, presentation. It's everything. ;o)

    What a pretty table, and I LOVE the Snowmen centerpiece!!

    Patty, NO tomato soup, LOL. The red just wouldn't go.

    Syble,

    Very pretty table and I love all of your blue dishes and your lamp matches so well. You have all the collections to make beautiful tables. How long have you been collecting? I loved your cranberry and now this blue is just as wonderful. Thanks so much for sharing with us.

    Pretty, Syble!! Cobalt & white with silver is my favorite color combo at this time of the year. I really love your lamp. Is it electric or candle? Your idea for the snowpeople display is wonderful and very imaginative! Is that a casserole server they're in? Thanks for showing it all to us!

    Gee, ya'll are just the cat's meow. Pattycake, dirty martinis are my absolute fav and I love old movies from the thirties. One year on our anniversary we went to the Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island, MI and attended a murder mystery weekend set in the 1938. We dressed for the period, and the Grand hotel requires formal dress for he evenings, it was a blast. Slinky and everyone, the snowmen centerpiece is an Avon thingy that folds up to make a gift box with a top on it and it has little twinkle lights, I just added the crushed acrylic glass chunks. Punk, the cobalt glassware was the beginning of my collecting 33 years ago, my mother worked for an elderly lady who owned an antique shop and she gave me pitcher and glasses for my wedding and the collections have progressed from there. The shorter stems on the table were also from that samelady. Lynn, the snowmen centerpiece is sitting on a silver cake plateau. I bought two of them years ago at the DS and use them for everything. The little lamp is electric and I hid the cord under the edge of the charger, I found the lamp in a box of junk at an estate sale for $1.00 and added the shade. Syble

    I'm late to post but Syble, I wanted you to know that I just LOVE the colour of blue dishes you have used and how perfectly the little lamp fits in! Makes it look like a table for two in a fancy restaurant! Your pics look wonderful too - very crisp and clear showing the great colours!

    I love the shape of the glasses and the cutwork on them. The plates with the blue rim are so nice too. I love that little lamp, really nice. I just got into blue, so I am glad to see how you are using yours.

    What a pretty table! I love the different shades of blue that you used and I'm especially loving the vignette with the snowmen.
