Champagne and Strawberries Under the Stars

There are so many anniversaries this time of year, it seems like the ideal time for a romantic table for two.

This week's music to get stuck in your head is the Theme From Somewhere In Time.





This cute strawberry plate came from Sur La Table last year on clearance.  It's sitting on top of  a white Victorian Rose dinner plate by Gracie China.





The red dinner plate is Ambiance Valero and the sterling is Wallace Grande Baroque.





The  charger is from Andrea by Sadek.





The crystal is Waterford Lismore.  The silver fan vase was an eBay find long ago.





The fragrance of Night-Blooming Jasmine wafts through the air.











Wishing you romantic evenings from A Cottage in the Clouds...






I'll be joining Cuisine Kathleen  for Let's Dish  and Between Naps on the Porch for Tablescape Thursday

    I could use a romantic evening right about now. Our lives have been so go-go-go, hurry-up-and-wait lately that I it would be extra nice to have some "googly eyes" time with the little mister! Meanwhile, the theme stuck in my head now is not that from "Somewhere in Time", but Ravel's "Bolero" since I saw the word Valero!!! Weird word association from the crazy lady! :-) This is a really pretty table, and I hope you have a "googly eyes" weekend to go with it! Have fun! Oh, by the way...I DID buy enough chargers for everyone. You know what the teacher always said about having enough to share with the whole class! :-)

    The strawberry theme is perfect for summer and the setting is so romantic. This is a great way to stack plates and bring out the colors of your darling strawberry plates. My favorite is the Lismore crystal in the red champange flutes. A gorgeous lace tablecloth and the detail is shown in every photo! Terrific! Pam

    So romantic, what a gorgeous table. I also just adore the strawberry plates. So cute with the strawberries that look delish. The nighttime with the candlelight is exquisite. All the plates are just perfect for this setting. Love the lace tablecloth.
