Vietnamese Dinner For 20

     Fortunately for me, my good friend Melissa belongs to a dinner club and it was her turn to host.  The theme was Vietnamese foods.  Knowing there would be a lovely table, interesting food and colorful guests, it gave me a grand opportunity to use her party in my blog.

Thelma, Melissa's mother, a lovely heart and soul.  Thelma introduced me to the joy of owning several sets of dishes with no shame!



Dining for 20



How pretty is that oriental screen and forsythia?










These spoons were purchased by Thelma's father while he served in the Navy.  The spoons date back to approx. 1910.  They are hand-made of silver.  Special memories and beautifully handcrafted.










































Yep - Her hair is purple.







Beautiful tables, exquisite food and good friends.  What could be better?

  6. Great looking party! The table is beautiful...I have two bowls in that pattern that I use for my breakfast cereal each morning...I have always wished I bought the plates, too.
