Dinner with Friends

5 Aug

This evening TH and I will host dinner for our friends The Israels, not to be confused with Israelis, although one of them is Jewish.

It’s a once-a-month tradition we’ve been trying to keep since before their wedding last year.

I woke up bright and early to get a head start on setting the table and have something for today’s post. And a perfect opportunity to use my new to me gold flatware.

    Love the effort you have put in! Usually when entertaining, I put all my focus on the food and then whatever energy I have left goes to the table… usually not a lot. Have a fantastic weekend!

      Food should definitely be the main priority. Sadly, it comes in second for me. But with a husband who loves to cook I get to be his sous chef, which gives my plenty o’ time to set a pretty table. : )

    The table looks gorgeous! I love the elephant teapot for flowers–I have one too and I’m gonna have to copy that. Have a wonderful dinner!
