My friend, Bonnie, graciously shared the table she created for her New Year's Eve celebration with friends. I fell in love with it the minute I saw it. I have this thing for clocks so this table setting is one of my faves. The chandelier got a touch of whimsy or should I say, it's "chimerical." (See the earlier post today.) Do you see the pocket watch draped above?
What a festive way to welcome in 2012! Love the black, gold and cream color scheme.
Clock salad plates are from Pottery Barn, last year. Love these!
What a great idea...using a bow tie as a napkin holder. Perfect for a New Year's Eve celebration.
Bonnie used masks as well. Fun!
I'd love a set of these clock-face plates but a quick check on eBay produced nada. Waaaaa.
The vintage look of the clock plates goes so well with the centerpiece. (Pssst: Sharlotte at Sharlotte's Reflections made her own vintage clock-face plates since she wasn't able to find the PB plates. Click on her blog name to visit and see how she did it.)
Bonnie, thanks so much for sharing this wonderful table! What a grand way to kick off the new year!

ReplyDeleteI have been waiting for those plates to come to the outlet, but they haven't. They do have lots of the 12 days plates marked down though!
ReplyDeleteFun table!
I LOVE everything about the tablescape except the black glasses.
ReplyDeleteBonnie did a great job. Those clock plates are really great!
ReplyDeleteBonnie's table is great! I love how she used the masks and bow ties for napkin rings; what a cute idea! I also really like the black champagne glasses. The colors Bonnie used in her clock theme table are lovely. I bet they had a fun time at this table!
ReplyDeleteJust Beautiful!

ReplyDeleteAbsolutely. Stunning. I love the regal black and gold (not just because I'm a Steeler's fan) and especially the PB clock plates. I am headed out online to see if I can find a set or 2!
ReplyDeleteBonnie, as we all know has enough dishes to host a party every night:):) LOVE the clock face plates, I'd like some too! Thanks to her for allowing you to share and thanks to you for hosting. I am still putting Christmas away so I didn't get a table done this week:( XO, Pinky

ReplyDeleteLove the table linens..the colors are so rich looking..What a great idea to use bow ties and glittered mask for napkin holders! Who would have ever thought of that?
Please Thank Bonnie from all of us fans!
Oh wow, I love this! I like the dangling ribbons they make it so festive! The clocks are such a cute addition and those plates are awesome! Those neck ties and masks are the cutest napkin rings!! Awesome job!

ReplyDeleteThose plates are so awesome. I don't even remember seeing them last year. Perfect for New Year's Eve.
ReplyDeleteIt looks beautiful. I too may copy that next year for ours.
ReplyDeleteOne of my all time favorite tablescapes. My grandfather was a jeweler and watch repairer. I have inherited all his school boxes from watchmaking school and also my grandmother's and mother's collection of antique clocks and watches. Although my mother did lend part of her collection to a library once for a New Year's display, I never thought of a tablescape - and this one is SUPER! She would have loved a collection of the watch face plates. Thank you so much for sharing this special table.
ReplyDeleteFabulous New Year's design. I always think of black and silver, but now am inspired to do a table in black and gold. Clock plate envy; I'll check out the site on how to make my own. Thanks for hosting! ~CJ
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun setting! The chandelier decorations really make the table special, and those clock plates are adorable!
ReplyDeletewhat a clever idea and how perfectly executed!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun table Bonnie did! I love the clock plates and the masks and bow ties she used as napkin holders. Great idea with the clock in the center! The ribbon hangs just perfectly to give that celebratory feeling.
ReplyDeleteI really like those plates with the clock face never have seen those around
ReplyDeleteYou always have a great table
I love Bonnies tablescape! The clocks used for New Years are perfect and those clock plates are one adorable find! How fun!
