Happy New Year with a Touch of Teal!

We usually go out of town on New Year's Eve to see a concert by our favorite band, but this year we were on vacation when the tickets went on sale. I tried to get tickets, but never could find good ones, so we just figured that this was meant to be a stay at home year. Glad we didn't get the tickets now, because I have had a nasty cold since the day after Christmas and I still don't feel up to much celebrating. But I decorated my dining room table anyway!

I at first envisioned this as a silver, black, white table with a pop of teal or peacock blue. But there were several problems with this color scheme. My "silver" tablecloth that I bought on clearance last year at Target is really just gray. I wish it were more metallic silver. My ornament tree is gold. Lots of the New Year's Eve ornaments I put on the tree are gold. I didn't have any teal or peacock blue napkins. I KNOW I have some paper ones, but I couldn't even find them! SO, a dash of gold needed to be added in the form of gold napkins with a sliver napkin ring.

My ornament tree on a peacock blue beaded charger and surrounded by silver balls and teal acrylic jewels.

At each place I put a black and rhinestone charger with a white plate, silver/gold flatware and a tiny champagne bucket candle and of course, a champagne flute!

I added a few party hats - one teal-  I have collected through the years as well as noisemakers.

I hope you have a very Happy New Year filled with wealth, health and happiness!

Happy New Year Tablescape

Well, I wasn't home for New Year's Eve, but that didn't stop me from doing a New Year's Eve tablescape!



I started with a gold tablecloth and added my favorite beaded placemats, topped by gold chargers which are topped by silverplated chargers and finally ivory plates with gold snowflakes ( Cracker Barrel a few years ago).





At each place I used gold placecard holders and a champagne bucket candle. I found the candles at Bed Bath & Beyond.



For my centerpiece I used my gold ornament tree with snowflakes and New Year's Eve party hats, champagne glasses and an hourglass.





At the base of the ornament tree is a little box that says Happy New Year!



No matter where you were at New Year's, I hope it was great!!!!
