Peggy Went to Paris

On Monday I had a dinner party with the staff from Bolts in the Bathtub. The occasion? Peggy had been to Paris earlier in the year and was going to give us a slide show of the trip.








The candles are lit and the guests are about to arrive.






Three layers of Eiffel Tower plates and pink & brown towers on cream napkins.



There was a sneak peek at the napkins in my Napkins - Part 1 post last month. The silverware is set à la française.



A special dinner plate for the guest of honor. I only have six place settings of the tower, so this worked out well.

My friend Nancy B purchased it for me as a gift the first year she taught at Bolts. We love to look for Frenchie stuff together.







Of course there was a cheese plate.



Various desserts were laid out on the sideboard. Along with my pink Eiffel Tower. You can just barely see it on the left. I think I might be time to paint it black or white.



Coconut macaroons in an antique covered crystal, it had belonged to Stephanie Slater, a sweet and loving woman who passed away years ago. The salt & pepper shakers on the table were also hers.



A trio of sweet bites from the freezer section of Trader Joe’s. Vanilla meringues under glass and Ferrero Rocher chocolates await the dessert hour.



Macarons à la  parisienne in the shadow of the pink Eiffel.





One of Peggy’s slide show pictures. A beautiful day in Paris.



Stitch at you Soon,
Dawna
