Royal Copenhagen Holiday Tabletop and Tablescapes Inspiration

Royal Copenhagen, purveyors of exquisite tabletop, dinnerware, decor and collectibles, unveil their gorgeous Christmas tablescapes designed by various members of the Danish aristocracy.

I love all of the Christmas tablescapes shown here (from their 2008 holiday inspiration showroom), but if I could only have one, I’d pick Baroness Caroline Fleming’s table settings. Do you have a favorite?

Riedel Crystal’s Pink CrescendO Glasses – Breast Cancer Awareness

October is National Breast Cancer Awareness month and there are many wonderful companies working to raise funds for the cure.  One such company is Riedel Crystal.   Riedel Crystal’s new Pink CrescendO, a set of 4 limited edition pink glasses ($70), was specifically created to benefit the organization Living Beyond Breast Cancer.

Riedel Crystal will donate 15% of the sale of each CrescendO set to Living Beyond Breast Cancer (www.lbbc.org ; 888.753.5222), a national nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering all women affected by breast cancer to live as long as possible with the best quality of life.

Of course, Pink is our favorite color and we can just imagine this gorgeous set of  four Pink Chardonnay / Viognier glasses sitting pretty on our holiday tables.

Pink CrescendO glasses are perfect for non-alcoholic drinks as well – such as juices, sodas, ice tea, etc, of course, we don’t need an excuse to drink from these pretty pink vessels. Even tap water looks glamorous in pink!

Oh, and in case we forgot to mention it….  Riedel Crystal’s Crescendo glasses are durable, stackable and dishwasher safe.  We specially love the dishwasher safe. Who has time for cleaning dishes – pretty as they may be?
