TROPICAL SPLENDOR
Winter may be a time when
couples cuddle up by the fire
with warm drinks because
well, “Baby, it’s cold outside;”
while others prefer to pack
their bags and jet off to warmer
destinations for some fun in
the sun. Why not have a bit of
both? Nothing can brighten
a bleak winter day at home
like bringing some tropical
spirit and vibrant color to
your tabletop. Here are a few
favorite inspiration pieces for
creating exotic enchantment.
So, put down the hot cider,
make a Mai Tai and dream a
little – no sunscreen required!

Green is a great color for décor. Unlike
other hues, you can mix it with many
different shades and they won’t clash.
After all, that’s the way we see them
in nature.

THE MAGIC OF METALLICS
When Shakespeare wrote, “All
that glitters is not gold,” he was
illustrating that everything isn’t as
precious as it appears. With these
pieces, we give that saying a whole
new meaning. Today’s tableware
uses a variety of shiny and mattemetallic finishes in gold, silver,
platinum, and copper to add glitz
to your décor design. It’s just like
jewelry – some of us like a little
bling and some like a lot. Let your
personal style shine through!

When shopping for fresh flowers for your
tablescape, take a piece of your dinnerware
with you. You will find many choices that
perfectly complement your setting.
FLOWER POWER
When we think of floral
dinnerware, we may fondly
remember our grandmother’s
china or we may turn our noses
up and think that it’s oldfashioned and stuffy. But let’s
face it, sometimes we all need a
little beauty to brighten up the
day. These floral patterns are
bold, colorful, and anything but
outdated. Flowers are timeless
and festive hues are classic;
long after you have thrown the
bouquet, these beauties will
remind you of your special day.
For a more contemporary
look, replace the cup and
saucer with a mug.
