For New Year's Eve, we actually decided to eat out at Bear Creek Inn, and upon making the reservation, we were informed that the place will be so packed for that time ans so the lady on the line suggested the eve of New Year's Eve will be a more relaxing and peaceful dinner if we prefer that, and so we did.
But come New Year's Eve, without any more plans, I did not feel good letting the day pass without doing anything kind of special so I decided to put together, showcase and use some flea of my market finds.
Everything on this table (except the silverware) including the rosy tablecloth came from the flea market. I love this vintage rose dinner set for 6 (all 36 items complete) which I got from a flea market for a measly $5.00.
The table looked quite busy with pink and red roses scattered all over the setting, but that's just how I wanted it....outside is white---blanketed with snow, but in our dining room is warm, and quite springy...
The colored glasses (a set of six) which I got for $3.00 look Morrocan. I could stare at them and feel transported to a memory in my childhood where I was also captivated by the same colors of glasses...somewhere...

The copper-bottom pan was $1.99 and stands to the oven well. | | |
The milkglass bowl atop the stack of plates holding French onion soup is a dollar too. |

Look at the dainty cups and their sleek handles. It's fun to sip tea from them. Makes you thoughtful of what you're doing and enjoying. |

Zachy passed up on the French Onion soup, so he had buttered slices of the homemade baguette in its place. |
The silver trays for a dollar or two each come in handy housing the sauteed veggies (bokchoi and tatsoi) and deviled eggs.
|
Eggs, veggies, and baby bellas stuffed with chopped sirloin. |
|
The dainty milk glass bowl holding the one dessert (chocolate-coated honeycrisp apple slices). |
|
|
This other dessert, NO ONE will ever guess what are covered with the chocolate.
They are chocolate covered nata-de-coco. |
|
So there's our simple New year's Eve fare for three. |
