2 Table Settings for the Holidays

Blue & White

These ladies are my favorite candle sticks.

They were given to me on a birthday.

I have never seen others like them.

Look!

 Don't they have the sweetest faces.

I used these lovely wine bottle jackets as a napkin holder.

You can use anything you have.

Tiny gifts!

 Always a sure bet + an ice breaker at each person's plate. 

Salt and pepper at each place.

You don't have to have flowers!

I often use greenery from around my home.

Anything that will hold water can be used as a vase/container.

Candlelight flatters everyone!

Chinese baby shoes were also a gift to me. 

I adore them.

I love to use different glasses on the table.

Always have red & white wine + red & white glasses on the table.

You can never guess what someone prefers.

Blue & White

Another setting for a dinner party using antlers.

Grandmother, Ruby, made this tablecloth. 
It is so beautiful.  Aren't I lucky?

I like to mix china pieces & silver together.

I keep a bag of moss handy for those times when I need something.

Candle light never fails to make one look divine. 

Those antlers are a treasure. 

The BIG napkins have monogrammed numbers! 

Look at the puppets that hang in my dining room. That's for another post...

And above it all, a chandelier brings light.
You bring the love & joy!

Happy table settings, dear readers!


Just remember,
 make it simple and be the wonderfully creative beings you all are.
Others will adore you for it.

Love,

Peggy

1993 Revisited- Marianne Vanderwilt + Pierrette B.

1993 Revisited

From the 1993 International Fashion Desk Diary 
by Shirley Kennedy - this is the cover.

These illustrations are from Marianne Vanderwilt, 
she makes a collection of leather & suede. 
Look at her drawings below.

Cherry red French lambskin is perfect.

For the long jacket + matching scarf trimmed in fox.

 The knee-length skirt has a flattering high waistband.

A short top with pleated collar and cuffs

tops tight pants with pockets.

Look at the shoulder pads-

Smoky purple smooth leather

for a tight waisted peplum jacket & matching leather skirt.

Pierrette B.

Taken From the 1993 Desk Diary-a little bit about her.

She & husband Rolf Braunchweig created, manufactured and sold worldwide. In her words,  
"We design for the active, modern women of today. Our easy fitting

will make her fashionably happy"

Sherlock, 
a smashing fuschia and scarlet full-skirted wool trenchcoat
with a quilted grape lining.
I could wear this today.

Olive green and camel wool/cashmere bubble coat. 
 Finished off smartly with a fringed scarf and leather piping.

Cozy & cuddly: 
a swingy big-shoulderer, fleecy coat in tangerine  
tied and fringed for dramatic trim.

This is a blast from the past. 
Aren't they divine? So retro! 

So treasure this desk diary given to me by my godfather. 

What do you think about the fashion, dear readers?






Love,


Peggy
