I added the fish sculpture by Carolyn Kinder and then some natural items–some fungus, a bird’s nest in a copper compote, some driftwood, a box turtle shell, an elk’s antler, and a notebook.

(If you haven’t guessed, Villeroy and Boch is my very favorite maker–high quality,Continue reading “Pretty in Pink”

I found a GORGEOUS millefiori pitcher while I was in Atlanta and I also have some millefiori tumblers which was the jumping off point for this table. I started the table with a really neat linen cloth that has abstract flowers in the same colors as the bread/dessert/canape plates that I am using. The glassesContinue reading “Mostly Millefiori”
