Happy Chinese New Year

Happy Chinese New Year!

Photobucket


Once again it's Tablescape Thursday sponsored by Susan at BETWEEN NAPS ON THE PORCH!

Thanks Susan for hosting Tablescape Thursday every week!

For my Chinese New Year table, I started with a red tablecloth and gold napkins. I used two blue candlesicks with red pillar candles in the center with 2 little Chinese dog figurines from the Target $ section and a red and gold Chinese food take-out box I found at our local party store. I put a red and gold fan on one side and scattered some gold glitter ornaments around.

For dinnerware, I used some blue melamine from Target. Solid blue on the bottom, topped with a white salad plate with a blue chrysanthemum design and a solid blue chrysanthemum bread and butter plate on top of that. I used chopsicks and an etched patterned glass.

Then I remembered I had these glasses. Can't decide which I like better so I took pictures of each.
