Hand painted Glassware For Dinner Parties by Clearly Susan





Clearly Susan.....

Utilize Our Hand painted Plates, Glasses, Cups and Saucers At Your Next Dinner Party



Dinner Party Etiquette......Who knew that there was still such a thing! Please, didn't that go out in the 60's or at least the 70's? Well, I know for a fact that it didn't in the true South as it is the Southern way to have good manners, mind your P's and Q's and for heaven sake set a nice table. 

Well, I must confess I am joking about does Dinner Party Etiquette still exist. Yes, it does, but what is so delightful is that now days you can set your table with a hodge podge of plates and crystal and it will turn out beautiful. I love the fact that you don't have to have matching plates, glasses, etc. Anything goes.....it is all left to your imagination. Now you can express your own true style which is what it should be.

Anyway....thought you might like this article "Dinner Party Etiquette What You Should Know About It". It has some blast from the past on how vintage dinner parties were once conducted written by Emily Post in 1922(The Queen of Etiquette, and I say that reverently). 

Now remember, I advise everyone to do exactly what they want to do and be as creative as possible with your parties. It is your party so you handle it the way you think is best. Also, check out their resources tabs on the left for recipes, what kind of drinks to serve and even centerpieces. Be sure to dig deep as there are some real resource goodies inside.

I have included some items that we offer that might spruce up a luncheon or even a summer dinner party.

Yellow Wildflowers hand painted on cups and saucers, dinner plates, water glasses and whole set of serving pieces.

Clearly Susan is proud to offer hand painted furniture for every room of the home or office. We have kitchen stools and bar stools, chests and trunks, end tables, sofa tables small writing desks, chairs and so much more.

We create custom furniture of your choice from unfinished wood furniture. If you want a particular piece that we do not have we can send you picture samples and try to find the furniture piece you want. We next will order the solid wood furniture from our vendors and begin the process.

We prime the wood with a base coat and then paint with a color of your choice. We can stress the wood to make it look old, use a faux finish, glaze what ever you like, and then we paint the furniture with your design. After that we paint it with a sealer. It is that easy.

Hand painted Valentine's Wine Glass






Celebrate Valentine's Day With Your Sweetheart Give your sweetheart a set of Valentine's Day Wine Glasses hand painted in bright red, gold and clear hearts entertwined with each other. The hearts symbolize love, and these hearts are all joined together hand painted in different sizes and shapes etched in gold. Set of two for $50.00










To commemorate another Important February Holiday - Mardi Gras - February 13, 2013 celebrated not just in New Orleans, but in several cities around the world. These wine glasses are $25.00 each. 

Accordingto http://www.dltk-kids.com/crafts/mardigras/history.htm Mardi Gras is French for "Fat Tuesday". The name comes from the ancient custom of parading a fat ox through Paris on this day. The ox was to remind the people that they were not allowed to eat meat during Lent. 
 Lent runs from Ash Wednesday thru Easter Sunday.

 Mardi Gras moves. It can be anywhere between February 3rd and March 9th. The date depends on when Easter falls. French people who came to the United States brought the custom of Mardi Gras with them. The most famous festival in the US (and perhaps the world) is at New Orleans in Louisiana *wistful sigh*-- 
I've always wanted to go, not necessarily for Mardi Gras, but just to see it. 

 But Mardi Gras parades happen throughout the world. Biloxi in Mississipi, Rio de Janeiro in Brazil, Nice in France, Binche in Belgiun and Viareggio in Italy are just a few examples. 

 The Tuesday that Mardi Gras falls on is also known as Shrove Tuesday. The name comes from the custom of confessing on the day before lent. Shrove means "to be forgiven one's sins." Check out the full article for some interesting tidbits.

The Holiday Season is upon us - Halloween is here, and before you know it Thanksgiving, Hanukah and Christmas will be here in the blink of an eye. I can't believe it - I have still been wearing summer clothes here in the South, and all of sudden it has gotten chilly, so I know it is just a matter of a few short months.

Hand painted Fish Plates Serve Garlic Shrimp



Hand painted Fish Plates Serve Garlic Shrimp


by clearlysusan...get updates of free blog posts here



Summer is almost over and fall will be in the air, but I still have a hankering for shrimp. Growing up on the Gulf Coast, shrimp dishes are a commodity that you can't live without. Now that I have been transplanted to Atlanta, Ga for 20 something years there is still no place better than the Gulf for real seafood. I went to Florida this past July and ate seafood every day, and now it has been 6 weeks and I am having withdrawal... One of my favorite places to get good recipes and especially seafood ones are at All Recipes. check out the following recipe for garlic shrimp. UMM....

Now I have to put in a plug for my hand painted fish dishes. Wouldn't this recipe look great on these decorative fish plates. These would be great for a party or to give as a gift. Well happy fishing, and let me know if you try this recipe and how you like it. Check out our hand painted fish plates with our painted sauce bowls in either lobster, crab or shrimp design.
