~~~ An Oriental Dinner Party~~~

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Now that Valentine's is over and winter is still with us I thought it would be nice to set a table using my oriental bamboo dishes and serving pieces! I will be linking to Susan's Tablescape Thurs. at <a href="http://www.betweennapsontheporch.blogspot.com/">http://www.betweennapsontheporch.blogspot.com/</a> Please go visit her after 8 tonight to see MANY amazing table settings! Now, on to this table. I left the table bare to show the beautiful, rich wood. I love the grain in the table. I used black placemats. The stemware is amber water glasses and black wine glasses. Don't forget, you can click on any picture to enlarge.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidIuWnoVKfkbKGPXEjXRzFgN4iDTdq0iOsor_oIzmpIdfEbzGjPEN8bw9s1IAG7kZYwrjhB9URgjEEH0kj8Y_V9X0cwge6oYFFf1KNfqSPAmAcXaTf4Hx-KujoobG2EfbUfu88jFztWVPd/s1600/IMG_6145.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" j6="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidIuWnoVKfkbKGPXEjXRzFgN4iDTdq0iOsor_oIzmpIdfEbzGjPEN8bw9s1IAG7kZYwrjhB9URgjEEH0kj8Y_V9X0cwge6oYFFf1KNfqSPAmAcXaTf4Hx-KujoobG2EfbUfu88jFztWVPd/s320/IMG_6145.JPG" width="320" /></a></div> A few years ago I found these pagoda S and P's!!!!
