Christmas Luncheon

This time of year there are so many fun parties and get togethers.  I was excited to be invited to my former employer's Christmas luncheon.   
We always look 
forward to this party.


She lives in a beautiful historic home in Crown Heights and her home is rich with history even dating back to prohibition.

I thought I would share the
 gorgeous table
 she set for us today. 
Her tablescape featured handpainted dishes that an artist friend paints and gives her each year!


The centerpiece is a collection of silk Christmas trees, a beautiful angel and reindeer.  The tall trees were removed during the meal so we could visit with each other across the table.  


The plates are wonderful with a MacKenzie Child look and are personalized for the family.


Each plate is unique and 
includes the year.  


The colors are vibrant and I love the black and white check pattern that repeats in each plate.




She served a delicious meal and we had a wonderful time
 decorating cookies,
 laughing and exchanging presents. 


Spending time with friends and family is just the best time ever.  
Merry Christmas!

  12. Susan always does such an inspired job of celebrating all the holidays. Have you ever eaten off of her Halloween plates? I designed them for her many years ago. The Christmas table is outstanding! Thanks for inviting us for a peak. Cherry Kay
