Let's Get the Party Started

12 years ago

Wishing all of you a very Happy Prosperous New Year. Hope all of you have a New Years Resolution in mind. I started a list and was checking it twice then remembered that's Santas job!LOL I've never been one to follow through with these. If it happens, yeah and if not maybe next year.

I bought this New Years Eve Party decor at a ys this summer for $1. Was fun to open this new little set. It's probably overwhelming in these photos for all of you, but a nice change from all the Christmas decor for me.LOL

Wasn't sure what to do with all the blk & wht curlies so strung some from the chandy, added a piece on the chairs inside the leis and tossed some around on the table. The other roll is still in the box.

The sprinkles are silver champagne glasses. Set my silver penguin shaker on the back of the table but it doesn't show up very well. I've had the light set for a few years. They blink so was hard to take pictures and catch them on!

Used this set of dishes from a little gal who use to work for me. I was telling her how I like to set tables this summer and she had bought herself some new dishes so gave me these.Sweet! They are Vitromaster Galaxy from 1993. Do all of you remember the moon, sun and stars? Well, this is the set of dishes from that time.

Set the buffet with my crystal liquor decanters and my glass ice bucket. The center tree is my Christmas card holder. Hung a lg white snowflake to help distract from it. The two mercury glass ball candle holders are ones I picked up at TJ Maxx for $2 last summer. I packed them away for Christmas and hadn't brought them out to share before.

We won't be out celebrating New Years Eve. How about all of you? That's a thing of the past. We just love to sit at home and watch the ball drop in Time Square. Kiss and head to bed.

Hope your ready for a little fun on here to ring in the New Year.

The Moon and Stars plates are perfect. What a nice gift.
I love the snowflakes under the plates.

Looks like he wants to be part of the fun.
Happy New year to you and your family.

Happy New Year, punk! WOW! You're ready to celebrate...this is a very festive table! That $1 NY packet & those star plates were certainly an inspiration for you!

Love the silver & gold combo along w/the B&W! Also the snowflakes are just perfect in your place settings! (no flatware tho?) LOL! Fingerfoods, right!

Love all the 'danglies' ...& your centerpc mercury glass round candles look great w/silver centerpc one! & cute to add the New Year's headbands! Just so much FUN to look at & would be even more fun to celebrate 'at home' with you! TFS, punk! Jeanne S.

Well, we're heading to Dallas for a couple of days, maybe 3 this time. Hopefully, this is the last trip we have to make for a while. ;-) I'll check in when I can. I'm enjoying the pics and conversation. I can't wait to have a big, beautiful garden like some of you have! It's got my mouth watering.... And, yes, I have catalogs starting to come in, too. I'm taking them with me on my trip to thumb through them and most likely start new additions to my want list for next year!

I think that Ellendi likes to make her own dressings...I know that I do. The flavor is worth it for the five or ten minutes it takes to whip up a favorite dressing. We're leaving town today for a few days so I didn't want to do much cooking last night. Or eating. I always eat light before and during a long drive. Anyway, we had kabobs with chicken, zucchini, mushrooms, onions, with some brown rice.

Happy New Year To You Punk - May It Be A Happy-Healthy One!

All that's missing here, is the 'Bubbly'!
Those dishes are perfect for this setting..and how thoughtful and generous of that gal to give them to you and I like how you added the snowflakes to ea place setting. Laughting at Jeanne mentioning 'no flatware' and the 'fingerfood' !
I think that happens to ALL of us one time or other...lol
Your B&W and silver theme is so festive and I love your mercury glass candle holders.
Great deal on the NY's decorations. The streamers and hats remind me of all the fun times on NYE when everything was decorated like that.
Your Buffet is looking elegant with all the Silver touches and crystal decanters.
We're staying home too...We did our NYC and Times Square visit with the two older Grdsons on Wednesday. Now DH and I can sit back, relax and watch all the bravehearts down there tonight!
Enjoy your New Year's Eve...

Thanks Nana, I placed the snowflakes on top of the chargers for more bling and it must of worked.haha I tried it both ways and liked this best. Glad you noticed. The little Yorkie is DS's and will be with us till Fri. She is at my side with her squeaky toy wanting me to play right now.

Jeanne, Bingo! Guess it will be Fingerfoods.LOL I think we'll be drinking out of the bottles and using the tc for napkins, too!

Thanks for all the sweet comments on my unfinished table. I might see if I can add the finishing touches this weekend and take another picture.

Luvs, thanks, you know it's all beacause of you, I'm here! I didn't know what shopping was all about before joining Holidays. Must say, I Love It!! Hope you and yours have a Happy New Year too.

Jane, oh yes, the Bubbly! Maybe I can add that with the flatware, glasses and napkins,LOL Wonder what my tables would look like if I didn't have to set them after a day at work.haha

Thanks for your comments and I hope you have a wonderful evening.

Wishing all of you the very best.

Happy New Year!!
That table is perfect! I can't believe you have the table cleared of Christmas and set for New Year's!!
We left early on Dec. 26 and just returned last night at 8:30 and I had to work today, so ALL of the Christmas decor is still up and I have the tree lit up in the family room! I don't want to start taking it down until Jan. 6 anyway.

That was sure a great $1 bargain. Did it include the Happy New Years Lights too?

We were able to celebrate the New Year with the couple we stayed with in Sedona and played dominoes until the ball dropped in New York; 10:OOPM in Sedona, and then we all toasted with sparkling cider and went to bed! Talk about a wild night!! LOL

I'm totally impressed by your table and the fact that you were ready to set a new table so quickly after Christmas!!

You must be running on Energizer batteries!

BEAUTIFUL!

TFS,
Candy

Candy, you must run on Energizer batteries too! You are always up to something.LOL Love seeing pictures of all your projects.

I already had the lights, the rest came in the New Years box. I also found some little silver NY hats I had. Thanks for all the sweet comments on my almost finished NYE ts.

I'm posting a picture with the added flatware, glasses, napkins and silver hats.
