I am always so afraid my guests won't be able to see over my centerpiece, so I definitely think you are smart to consider the conversation aspect at the table. I am sure whatever you do will be great. How many people do you expect? Just wondering how many tables you would have to set.Mandi Shandihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06199323249251582638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6157423762460358686.post-3874282402459189062008-10-26T15:46:00.000-04:002008-10-26T15:46:00.000-04:00Thanks for all the inspiration.

They have the most yummy woodsy "holiday" decorations this year. My favorite colors (at the moment) are brown & green, and they have these awesome brown dinner plates w/ these sparkly lt. green votives & off-white accessories (such as a little bird cake stand). Would fit in with all of your wishes! The decorating is the fun part....the cooking, to me...not so much!
