New Years Eve Table

Well here we are, another year come and gone. For me 2012 has been one of sorrow and celebration. I have to say it, I'm really happy to moving on to a new year. I am not one to make resolutions.  I usually try to set a goal or two for myself.  My goal this past year was to be kinder to others.  I think, for the most part, I was able to achieve that goal but, sometimes, those darn others made it hard LOL.  

I'm not certain what my main goal for 2013 is yet.  I do know what some of my goals are. Number one, I have is to get a job.  I'd like it to be something I love doing but, I know too well, you can't have everything you want in life. I want to be more consistent with my posting here on my blog.  I've kinda taken some time off for the holidays but I'd like to have a new post up at least twice a week, not including my favorite post of the week, the You're Gonna Love It link party every Tuesday. The powder room, kitchen and laundry room are all screaming to get a new coat of paint so I plan to tackle those rooms.  I really need to get my stash of dishes in some sort of real order, which, could mean getting rid of some of them {gasp}.  So, maybe my goal for 2013 is, finish what I start!  Yes, I think that is a good goal to have. There it is!  It's out there into the world and you all are my witnesses and motivation.  I can't and won't let you down. Pinky swear!

Now that that is all settle it's time for a party! A New Year's Eve party!
/
I wanted the table to be full of glitz and sparkle. I started with a black striped tablecloth from Goodwill. The silver sparkly square chargers are actually scrapbook papers from Michael's that I bought with a gift card from my youngest son and his girlfriend.
/
I then added Candlewick dinner plates, topped with clock faced salad plates I bought on clearance last year from Burlington Coat Factory.  I paid $3.50 for the set of four.
The napkins, done in a bow fold, are from Home Goods and the napkin rings were a recent Pier 1 purchase using a gift card from my son and daughter-in-law.
/
And my favorite vintage Rogers silverplate flatware added the perfect elegance to the setting.
/
For the centerpiece I used a few more sheets of the glittered paper and placed 3 of my Godinger goblets upside down for candle holders.
/

I found the lighted silver and pearl garland at Big Lots. It's on a timer so it turns itself off after 6 hours. LOVE it!
/

/

/
I added a couple of mirrored ornaments too.
/
Some clear and pearl gems are scattered around the table to mimic confetti.
/
Noisemakers to bring in the new year are set in champagne flutes.  
/
There are tiaras for the women and hats for the men, or, vice versa LOL.
/

/
A chilled bottle of champagne to toast the new year anchors one end of the table.
/

/
 While an hourglass sits at the other end of the table.  A reminder of time passing.
/

/

/
Whatever the new year brings, I want to wish you much happiness, love and peace!
You have made 2012 so much fun and I so appreciate you taking
the time to visit with me here and on my Facebook page!

Cheers friends!

  48. I love this table!! I did mine in gold, but now I know what I want to try next year! Those plates are perfect and I'm in love with bow napkins!! So beautiful!

  49. I almost bought those same salad plates at Burlington earlier this year! I don't know what on earth stopped me! I had two boxes of them in the cart, but they never left the store with me. You did a GREAT job of making them work for this NYE table! Really great idea to use the heavy card stock for chargers, too! The whole table has all the glitz and glam of what Elton John probably just calls Tuesday night! :-) :-) :-) I wish you luck in your quest to find a job. They seem hard to come by these days. I have thought about getting something parttime so that I can help out in these hard (and about to get harder) economic times, but I'm not sure who would hire a person with a body as broken down as mine. Not that I want to do physical labor or anything!!! As for regular posting, we're just glad to see ya when we see ya. As long as we know you're safe and happy, it's cool. Happy New Year, Kathe! I hope that 2013 brings zero sorrow and 100% joy!
