FOR AULD LANG SYNE AND A THANK-YOU




Thank you

As we approach the end of 2014 I want to thank all of you who visit The French Hutch, leave comments and visit with me through emails. I am truly grateful for your friendship, encouragement and support. I look forward to seeing you in 2015!




This is a post I shared last year. Since we will be going out for dinner I will not be setting a table this New Year’s Eve. I wanted to share this post that had a high number of page views. I hope you don’t mind and enjoy one of my favorite party tables.






I’ve set a place for you tonight at my New Year’s Eve table, along with places for loved ones and friends from long ago. So please join us for a toast at the stroke of midnight as we remember days gone by, and look forward to the start of a new year. In the words of Robert Burns, "let’s sing that sweet song:"


For Auld Lang Syne

Should old acquaintance be forgot,
and never brought to mind?
Should old acquaintance be forgot,
and old lang syne?

CHORUS:
For auld lang syne, my dear,
for auld lang syne,
we’ll take a cup of kindness yet,
for auld lang syne.





New Years Eve Tablescape


I love to use mercury glass and all that glitters. It shimmers and sparkles with candlelight. Glitter is my new favorite color!







A touch of blue for a pop of color.







A centerpiece using my glass ornament wreath. I filled it with silver baubles and starry string lights.











Coffee anyone?




A silver tray filled with champagne flutes for ringing in the new year.






Welcome be ye that are here,
Welcome all and make good cheer,
Welcome all, another year.

And here’s to you, old friends and new alike. Saying goodbye to the old year and welcoming in 2015!


Cheers!

  11. Beautiful table, stunning! I love all your mercury glass collection ad are similar to mine. Also the silver tray and the top hat from my gold table from last year too.
    The champagne flutes look like my Italian hand etched too. We bought ours in Venice, Italy a few years ago.
    Thank you for the sweet sentiments and for the quote from MLK, I will be saving it.
    Happy New Year 2015!

    Roll Tide tonight. We are blessed to be able to watch the game with our son's family tonight. It has been years. Too many to remember when the last time the two men could watch Bama play together. Happy New Year.

  29. My dear French friend, how touched I am by your comment as I read it this morning. I am still in Blogland, will comment and visit, but I need to spend more time in my private writing life. How moving it is to know we can encourage one another, grow to love one another. I WILL BE BACK. Anita
