Dinner TableHenri Matisse – 1897. Oil on Canvas. Private Collection.
This is such a wonderful sumptuous painting of what a dinner table can look like – but ours never does. On our own, we eat quite plain food and serve it simply, too. If we have guests, which is not often these days, I prefer to arrange cold buffets, or in summer we might have a BBQ or picnic instead. I love the finger foods, the canapés and nibbles, and the big party salads…
The photo actually goes years back! I can tell from the surroundings that this is still from the time when I used to live with my mother – so it must be my 16th birthday buffet. It was the only teenage birthday I really celebrated, of which Mother did not approve. She decided to go away for the weekend and leave us to it, and I had to make the entire buffet myself…

Everything is from Club Scrap "Salsa" except for the recipe cards and 3D stickers which are from Jolee's Boutique and Jolee by You.
Again, where is Bob Dornberg's Painting entitled "Dinner Table"?
