Extravagant Ideas for Celebrating New Year’s Eve at Home
It may be too late for tonight but some extravagant new years eve party essentials for next year as put together by GalerieMagazine. All the big names featured here: Orrefors, Waterford, Christofle, Saint Louis, Lalique, plus the champagne and caviar to accompany. Sounds like a good plan! Perhaps a pricey plan! But a good plan for sure.
I have to laugh about Saint Louis crystal – it was a name unknown to me, then a couple of months ago there was cute Saint Louis lamp on a local auction site. The first bid at $15 lasted for days. Then 10 to 15 minutes before closing the bids started to rise and rise beyond $200. Seemingly I wasn’t the only one who’d done his research.
Merry Christmas!
May the closeness of your loved ones, family, and friends fill your heart with joy!
