Hi everyone! I am so excited to once again be partnering with the wonderful folks at Mikasa and Lifetime Brands to offer this fabulous giveaway!
A lucky winner will be receiving 6 four-piece place settings of Mikasa “Modernist Black” bone china! Isn’t it lovely? You know how I love square plates. Although this is a very modern pattern, I chose to show it a little different light so you can see how versatile it is.
The obvious choice for linens would be black or white, but I went a different route and chose hot pink. Really…hot pink.
These are so delicate and beautiful. Also included is a standard size soup bowl.
I love these mugs because they are just the right size and so much easier to use than a cup and saucer.
For my setting, the box is filled with fresh cedar, white pine and pine cones because, after all, it is still winter. I like to bring in whatever is green outside.
I made a runner and napkins out of this vintage Chinese silk. One of my dad’s relatives brought this silk from China when she lived there in the late 1940s. I think it makes a really festive but elegant and modern table. I used square rattan chargers for a natural element and Mikasa “Italian Countryside” flatware. The crystal is Durand Cristal D’Arques “Longchamp.”

I absolutely drool you dining area. Everything is adorable.
Love your centerpiece. Simply but with an elegant touch.
I guess, international bloggers can't enter your giveaway. That's sad.
