The dining room tablescape was lined with exotic candle holders. The damask table runner added charm to the setting.
The chargers are gold wire with crystal beads. She used clear glass plates which showed off the chargers beautifully.
These are the patterned glass plates to sit on those lovely chargers.
Buffet in dining room. In its previous life it was a pine cabinet but when they moved into this house they had it painted and feet added because of the high ceilings.
Jeanette's favorite fruits, watermelon and grapes were included in the buffet line.
It is fun to include a tablescape in the buffet line.
There were actually two vignettes that brought a colorful touch to the buffet line.
You don't mind waiting in the buffet line when there is eye candy to feast on.
Three of her great grandkids had to get out of the pool to sing "Happy Birthday" and lick the frosting off the candles on the cake.
Sorry but this is the wildest our party got with a closeup of the animal printed candles.
Jeanette loves to decorate and wear fashion in animal prints.

My beautiful sister, Jeanette, with her beautiful daughters, Kristie and Brooke.
I had to show them under Brooke's entry chandelier.
I will be posting more of Brooke's lovely home next.

Gail,
ReplyDeleteThanks again for sharing so much of your treasured family and friends. Such a beautiful home and family. I love seeing all the decorating styles and how creative everyone is.
Always,

How gorgeous and what a grand time. As the "big" sister I can appreciate the gathering. I think the home is out of this world!!!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed so much seeing Brook's lovely home. It is beautiful. She has always been so creative. I remember that she was the first person I knew years ago that had shabby chic furniture. At the time, I thought, my, what is this? Now I love it! She was always a little ahead of the times! What a wonderful birthday lunch for Jeanette. I know it must have been a very special lunch with all her family around. What a very special time together. Happy Birthday, Jeanette!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Sally
