You have 3 more days to celebrate or be rid-of 2021. Never before have the pressures of living in a COVID world invaded our privacy so often. We all need a mental break. So on that note, enjoy a look back to the ghosts of pre-COVID New Years Eve celebrations. You just might find something that is still “appropriate” for you and your friends and family…Or not??

Two of my favorite fancy NYEve table-top decor. There are a few things these two tables have in common.

The tablecloth disguises a large oval white plastic outdoor table.

The glassware all came from my family.

Go to an antique store to find the silver cups; I cannot begin to remember all the ways I’ve used those cups.

See those sparkling gold stones on the outdoor table? Go to any craft store and buy a bag of gold, silver or red, and you will use them every year multiple times; they are not expensive and make a big SPLASH!!

Candles make a giant difference. Again, go to the antique store and find some funky or fancy candlesticks. They will serve you well for a very long time!!
