New Year's Eve at its Sparkly Best! by Weezilou

New Year's Eve at its Sparkly Best!

Though I took dozens (and dozens) of pictures of champagne glasses by the fireside (oh so romantic!), all I got for the effort was warm champagne and many (many) out of focus photos.
After hitting delete (delete) again (and again) I was left with this little beauty that WAS of the dinner Ken prepared completely (while I was taking those mis-spent photos...) I don't really care that I've overdone the cliche star-filter...it was just the mood I wanted to capture.

(For the Vegans and vegitarians amongst you, I apologize...you may now click on the "Don't Like" icon...)
That is a gorgeous table. And the food doesn't look half bad either.

@Weezilou It's been a while but, yes I'm back. I intend to stay at least through the end of 2015. Happy New Year to you and yours as well.

@anazad511 I had your photo in mind when I was trying to make a lovely New Year's Eve photo...I know where to find inspiration...just need to know where to find classes!

This is lovely, and that meal looks perfect! Ken and I will have to exchange recipes.....I made my roast leg of lamb for Christmas, too, it was delicious, and we are still eating it! And, yes, I prefer salads, and fish the rest of the time, too, but lamb is good for festive occasions.

Love the starbursts. If you can use them for New Year, when can you?

The star bursts are the finishing touch. Beautifully done.

@seattle :) I'll hold that thought! Actually, we love this room best...the rest of the house...not so castle like!

@panthora I told Ken you want to exchange recipes with him... WE would both love that ...and he has some good ones!

Okay, this is a total fav! I would say the same as I said with your other shot except with all that sparkle and the fire in the hearth, what a gorgeous setting.
