It has such a pretty quality to it-love the formalness of the yews and then you have the trees whose shape just screams spring. Beautiful.<br /><br />As for the tablescape, what a lovely change. It has a wealthy monied look to it, as if dining in an estate or traditional library.

I just love the way that crystal shines on the black background. You've found some real steals. Why is it that people aren't interested in silver any longer?
