Tablescape Thursday – Fostoria Navarre Etched Wine & Cheese Evening

We’re having a little wine and cheese party today. Let’s use Navarre etched crystal, one of the most collected glass patterns from Fostoria. I don’t have many pieces, just enough for a glass of wine, a plate of crackers and a glass of champagne. The goblets are the claret wines, larger than the regular wine [...]

Why Light Just One Candle? Fostoria Navarre Etched Duo Candle Holder
