When folks come to visit, I like to have the first night’s dinner well underway when they arrive so they can settle in and relax after what has probably been a long day of travel. Maine is not the easiest place to get to!
Already on the breakfast room table are these wonderful antique beer bottles, but instead of being filled with beer, they hold a stem or two of near season’s end hydrangeas. I love how the bloom changes from white to green as it matures.
Dinner is a casual affair, so I’m going for comfort with simple black square plates from Ikea on these placemats of many colors. I love the flared top of the placemat which creates just enough space for a glass.
Hmmm, there are salad plates to match the larger ones, but now seems a good time to use the black and white ones scored…

Love the beer bottles Eunice. But I guess you knew I would. Nice post.
I thought it was worthy of a share and I take labels off and use old wine bottles so I loved them as well 🙂
Very pretty idea! Where are the animals, Eunice?
Lovely!!
