I am a nut for glassware. It is just something that I can’t resist: glasses,
vases, pitchers, bottles – all sorts of bottles. In fact, it can be quite
dangerous leaving me alone in the liquor department of any store because I am
liable to buy something that I won’t even drink just for the bottle. Have you seen those clear glass skulls full of vodka? But I digress.
So, when Wine Enthusiast contacted me asking if
they could send me some wine glasses (Could they? Oh, yes!), I reeled in my
excitement long enough to reply in the affirmative, and happily received a lovely set of four Fusion Whirl Chardonnay Wine Glasses. Designed with the physics of fluid dynamics in mind, they tapered the bowls so the
opening is narrower at the top than below, allowing for an aggressive swirl
that funnels a virtual explosion of aroma directly to the nose, and, they are gorgeous! Needing to be displayed
in a table setting, I chose to blow the dust off of my Nikko tea rose dishes
and pair them with other pieces featuring spring colors (It is spring, isn’t it?
Try not to notice the 11 inches of snow on the deck). As you can see, I am still rockin’ that
beautiful blue Hydrangea as a centerpiece.
Now excuse me while I pour the wine.

What a lovely spring table scape. I love all the colors together. Now if the weather would just cooperate in your area that would be great. We have had very nice warm weather.
Happy Easter and love your post.

Great photography. I noticed right away. Great tablescape too.
Ah! Your table settings are always so inspirational! I am lucky to get the place mats on the table on most days! Planning to get out my grandma's old china for an Easter lunch with my family. hopefully some flowers on the table too! Snow is finally melting up here!

Love your spring table, Patti, it is my favorite blue/green combo. I do like the shape of the wine stems...chard is my favorite wine, too...it tastes great out of anything, even a mason jar!
Happy Easter.
I'm loving your scape and just may have to find a runner like yours. The wine glasses are cool. I'm glad to know there are others out there who love glass, dishes, pitchers, etc. Sometimes I worry about myself!

This is a tablescape that catches one's attention. All the layers are just stunning. I like the mix of plates and the two different woven details. Every detail is fabulous. What is the flatware? Love the color and texture of the handles.
Happy Easter!
