Once in a while a group of my Old Friends get together for dinner.
I had the pleasure of hosting the Girl's Dinner Party last night.
We drank wine, grilled steaks, ate salad and potatoes a'gratin and yacked till almost midnight.
We finished with ice cream cake and coffee.
I set the table with my late mother-in-law's china that came from Japan during the early 1950s and her silver goblets which were a wedding gift. I also used my late aunt's wine glasses, a new/old linen table cloth and linen napkins I picked up at a estate sale this summer, and my stainless (I don't have silver service for 6, just for 4 but I'm working on it). Almost all of it is very dear like Old Friends.
Life is Good.

Patti, Love the elegant simplicity of your table setting and I think we have the same stainless flatware pattern. :)
Have a great weekend,
Babs
your table setting looks pretty with the orchid and starfish and the mixed goblets. i don't have sterling for 6 either, I just give at least 1 sterling utensil to each guest. mixed in with a variety of stainless patterns. The dinner party sounds like it was a lovely time for everyone :) Thank you for dropping in to my blog and taking the time leave a thoughtful comment - I really appreciate it. sending my best! diane
Everything is so elegant--crisp/clean/perfect for summer!
