Today I would like to share with you a tablescape that I put together for a dinner party with dear friends.
Our two families have known each other now for almost 22 years. We met back when we lived in Cloppenburg Germany-parted ways for a few years and reconnected when both families moved to the Berlin area.
This past Saturday we invited the family over for a bbq, yes I set the table inside—once again it was raining and cold and enjoying the outdoors was not possible. But we did not let the bad weather damper our spirits–I am sure the neighbors heard us laughing. This dinner was unique in that the families were complete—all 3 boys were at the table with us. Dennis the oldest of the 3 was joined by his girlfriend, a very nice young lady. I wonder what she thought of this crazy bunch?
Well, back to the tablescape….
The tablecloth comes from a store call Strauss Innovation
The dishes are Rosenthal(and took a hit that night as I broke one and chipped 3 in the process.
The red stemware also was bought at Strauss Innovation
The flowers were a last minute idea–found them at the grocery store when I went to get some last minute items
The cutlery comes from Crate and Barrel
The pitcher is polish pottery
Our Friends, Peter and Sabine…… Thanks for a wonderful evening–so looking forward to the next one

Who cares if the weather was cold outside with such a beautiful warm and welcoming table inside? Thanks for letting us have a look.

It looks lovely and FUN. I love that tablecloth. Stripes happen to be a personal pattern of mine, and that one is so versatile you can use it a lot of different ways.
