Over the weekend we invited to dinner a few friends we didn't get to see during Christmas.  I wanted to create a cozier atmosphere and dine under candle light so I moved the dining table close to the open fire in front of my gorgeous bookcase.  Did I ever say bookcases are one of my favorite things?  I used a generous remnants of Edo fabric by quadrille as tablecloth, took out a few of my amethyst candle holders and got some hydrangeas at Whole Foods.  The <a href="http://www.crateandbarrel.com/dining-and-entertaining/placemats-and-napkins/capiz-shell-placemat/s459534" target="_blank">Capiz Shell placemats</a> are from Crate and Barrel and they are really beautiful.  We had a wonderful time in good company and hope we get to do this more often.</div></div>gt <br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggobJVN16p8BDPlBZJ8PvQHm-PqW-U-e0T0U3xsnnFOfGLwP4WmdyukBFRlpnRa_verFTjSKiAwk48wWYBf6UNO5T5mhicV0v0qJsWp3FuAv4cNfJDAHCtNFJJeWnO0SAqZedYQgnMSsw/s1600/tablesetting+ideas.JPG"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5560390122448682722" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggobJVN16p8BDPlBZJ8PvQHm-PqW-U-e0T0U3xsnnFOfGLwP4WmdyukBFRlpnRa_verFTjSKiAwk48wWYBf6UNO5T5mhicV0v0qJsWp3FuAv4cNfJDAHCtNFJJeWnO0SAqZedYQgnMSsw/s400/tablesetting+ideas.JPG" style="cursor: pointer; height: 362px; width: 483px;" /></a></div>  <br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZpPpExImHGWyCkR8KUaHQRFz277-Zq36uImVDZMLwX2wuGeZCMef5JMBYG4QGA8OXyq5EZczC4vLfLSGPXm0fEc1PFzMXV0pzumL504A6-XEcn0MUyEr9YDPRKUn_xUUVeH2XkQ7AWZ4/s1600/table+setting+decor+ideas.JPG"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5560390119425123826" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZpPpExImHGWyCkR8KUaHQRFz277-Zq36uImVDZMLwX2wuGeZCMef5JMBYG4QGA8OXyq5EZczC4vLfLSGPXm0fEc1PFzMXV0pzumL504A6-XEcn0MUyEr9YDPRKUn_xUUVeH2XkQ7AWZ4/s400/table+setting+decor+ideas.JPG" style="cursor: pointer; height: 363px; width: 486px;" /></a></div><span style="font-size: 85%;">all images by/for Julie.</span></div>
