Dinner At Eight

original watercolor 6x6 Reserved
The table is set, Frank Sinatra is playing in the background and a gourmet meal is waiting for you.  You are cordially invited for 'Dinner At Eight'!
I love pulling out my fine china and entertaining.  After my husband and I got married we moved to Germany.  We move with an old lazy boy and a fully stocked kitchen (wedding gifts), but we did not have any wedding china.  It didn't take me long to stumble onto the Villeroy and Boch outlet store on the border of France and Germany.  It was love at first site and we frequented  the outlet A LOT!!!  We bought our china a few place settings at a time until we had service for 12.  I love my china and I hope you will too:)

    Très jolie aquarelle... Tout comme vous je suis une amoureuse de la belle vaisselle...
    J'aimerais changer sans cesse mais ne jamais me défaire de l'ancienne vaisselle. J'affectionne particulièrement celle que j'ai reçu de ma grand-mère... provenant de Limoges.
    Gros bisous à vous... et bon appétit bien sûr!

    This is fantastic, I love it, I also love china and have been buying mine vintage. Tea tastes so much better in china cups. I thought it was a photograph at first, you are so talented.

    Love this watercolor piece of art! Which woman doesn't like china ... When you were in Europe, did you live in the Geilenkirchen area as well?

    I love china and recognized your pattern! Oh, I'm so happy you painted this - and that you got it for yourself! I haven't gotten my wedding china (yet), but we've only been married 33 years. Maybe this year! xoxo Beautiful job - 'hi' to Steven!

    Aren't 6"x6" paintings fun! Nice job. You really did the reflective and porcelain surfaces well.
