Recently, my friend, Debbie had a group of girlfriends
from her old neighborhood over for dinner.
Nothing like a dinner party to get your home in top form.
Some of the ladies hadn’t seen her home before.
They met each other when their children were small.
This is a tradition that they started to stay in touch.
Debbie borrowed my salad plates and rattan chargers
(that’s what friends are for).
She created the center piece with small green and white plants
in gray and white containers.
The charcoal linen napkins are from Matteo.
I’m hoping to borrow her Venetian style glass votives some day.
I’m sure her guests felt special. Wouldn’t you?
Each friend received a striped
cotton cosmetic bag as a party favor.
When I last posted about Debbie’s house,
there were a few emails requesting
information about this bench.
It is by Louis J. Soloman.
The aqua leopard fabric is
The bench can be ordered in different finishes.
This arrangement was from one of Debbie’s guests.
God bless Oklahoma.
Stunning…where are the party favors from?

She has such classic style….the table is simply stunning! And the flowers….wow.
Juliska and Vietri have good white plates. Don't know about the pewter but the round mats are from Pier One.
The table is so beautifully set….what a wonderful evening together!
I adore the Juliska china and think it's a great idea to use them for salad plates with a nice plain white. Do you have any white china suggestions? Also, will you share the source for the round mats – love that look with it.
Do you have the Juliska that looks like pewter? I am curious about their products holding up.
There aren't enough superlatives to describe this beautiful party setting. You and Debbie both have such amazing style and taste that whatever you do is always absolutely perfect! I love every detail and only wish I could have been at that table.
Absolutely gorgeous! The small plants in the grey containers are a beautiful touch and have given me some great ideas – those venetian glass votive holders are beautiful!!!
Wow this is absolutely beautiful! I know I would feel special!
That is just so beautiful and elegant – what a lovely lunch it must have been.
I love beautiful tables and the joy of hostessing a party. Debbie did it up right, just lovely. I know here guests enjoyed themselves!
Everything looks absolutely beautiful! XO
Mary Ann, such a pretty room – love the moldings and all of the pottery filled with flowers. What a stylish and more importantly generous of heart friend you have!
Que capricho e bom gosto na arrumação desta mesa. Adorei cada detalhe. Linda sua louça.
Espero que todos estejam bem, e o furacão não tenha feito nenhum estrago.
Tenha um ótimo dia.
What a beautiful setting. I love all the clean, clear colors. Her plates are darling and I love the idea of a gift at each chair.
Wow. Just beautiful. I feel special just from looking at the pictures and I'm sure her guests felt incredible. I'm addicted to using plants as centerpieces…love what she did there. Thanks so much for sharing!

Darn I wish I were invited! That bouquet is to die for! And…thanks for posting the pic of the lumbar pillows…I was just trying to explain the detail to a client yesterday!
Go Debbie, Go! How do I sign up to become one of Debbie's friends?? 🙂 Her home is amazing. Your salad plates are too! That bouquet, with the orchid stems, was out of this world! Life is good!
Cheers!,
