As the sun sets on the beautiful
Sangre de Cristo Mountains of Santa Fe . . .
The table is set for
an impromptu dinner for two.

Candlelight and perhaps
a zesty Margarita on the rocks.

The vibrant woven threads of a Mexican serape,
Talavera pottery, and flatware with a "twist"
provides interest and texture to the glass top table.
White cotton napkins tucked in small bowls,
one mustard yellow - the other rusty red . . .
Add a pop of bright color to the white dinner plates
rimmed in indigo and topped with fanciful floral salad plates.
A quiet spot for evening
conversation with one's companion . . .

As each reflect on the day spent enjoying
the sights, sounds, and flavors of Santa Fe.

Beautiful colors, Sarah. Cozy and romantic. xo,
ReplyDeleteI love the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. Eagle's nest is breathtaking.
ReplyDeletePretty table. I think I have the same silverware. It looks very romantic.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful table! I love Santa Fe....we were there several years ago and want to go back someday.
ReplyDeleteThe zesty Margarita got my attention!
ReplyDeleteSarah, I tried to drop by last night and leave a message, but for some reason, I couldn't get the comment box to come up. Have no idea what happened.
ReplyDeleteI just wanted to drop by and thank you for your lovely, heartfelt comments on my last post. I appreciate your sweet spirit more than you know, and I just wanted to say, "Thanks." This is my first time I've blogged in about a month, and I thought I would try and catch up a little. Things here are still up in the air, and I came down to check on Adelaide's children and grandchildren who are my godchildren. It's a time of trying to find a new "normal."
I saw that you have lost some dear ones, too, and I want you to know my heart goes out to you. I hope you know there are many people who love you and care, and I'm one of that number.
On a different note, I love your tablescape, and we have the same flatware! Loved seeing it used in a Santa Fe theme. I hope to get there some day.
Warm hugs across the miles...
XO,
Sheila
What a lovely table. The runner is beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteHope to see you on my blog:)
How lovely! Very cozy and romantic. Beautiful scenery too!
ReplyDeleteSarah, Great idea to use the serape for a runner. So "upscale casual" and inviting. Love the colors of mustard, rust and the indigo... and little squarish bowls. Did you say 'margarita'? I'm there.
ReplyDeleteThis is so festive and pretty, Sarah...how I would imagine a lovely dinner in Santa Fe {which I would love to visit someday!}. I love the dishes and the pretty runner!! Wonderful job!
ReplyDeleteXO,

Hi Sarah,
ReplyDeleteWell your first photo just stole my heart. How beautiful!
Your table looks lovely! I really like the flatware too. I think candles are always a nice touch at any table. Mmmm, a margarita sounds really good too!

This is a particularly beautiful combination of Southwest style elements, Sarah! Funny, but I could swear your last comment to me originated in Paris!?
