Party Details: February Fete


To beat the winter doldrums, I hosted a small dinner party last weekend. The tablecloth is 2.5 yards of fabric I ordered from DWELL. 


The flowers I did myself with floral oasis, flowers from the grocery store and an antique milk glass container. I used lilies, freesia, hypericum berries and hydrangeas. 



For the place cards (and a fun pop of silver) I spray painted pears.




I also used white linen napkins, silver chargers and silver tapers in my pewter candle holders (which I found last year on eBay for a steal).

    Kate,
    I think my invitation was lost in the mail! Fabulous setting that I'm sure was equal to the food, conversation and atmosphere!
