Hanukkah Table Setting

Morning Y'all! I was looking through some of The Suze's old holiday issues of Southern Accents and I came across this gorgeous Hanukkah Table setting by Dallas' own floral designer Carol Garner.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaIcpfU1SwO-La6VRzTfs8f1FUaBznjIZC_t9PVqUKPKDrHmTPYfXAeFgnml730l5wJPbjPxfSclE-sJQPRxvGxJEXKS_O6hzZG28GUJ7hYykgNMATmmEX0GCEklo8GEUjA4Dw1leIr_8/s1600/Hanukkah+Carol+Garner+Southern+Accents+November-December+2004+.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaIcpfU1SwO-La6VRzTfs8f1FUaBznjIZC_t9PVqUKPKDrHmTPYfXAeFgnml730l5wJPbjPxfSclE-sJQPRxvGxJEXKS_O6hzZG28GUJ7hYykgNMATmmEX0GCEklo8GEUjA4Dw1leIr_8/s640/Hanukkah+Carol+Garner+Southern+Accents+November-December+2004+.jpg" width="536" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">She made her own menorah centerpiece after she couldn't find one low enough not to interfere with conversation.  Each of the candles is set in a quartz candleholder and surrounded with gardenias, white and purple roses, blue and purple New Zealand hydrangeas, and viburnum berries.  </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1fxbsLKoid5_2PR0usXJA2Y6BD_UeE4GxWLctjKSuAX4hl7-OfYs3n_MUVL8tGBnIjvWydXPJMD1sCMpfFg2I5yf44uRq15iEpLUyEXhB8CNcgcRmFzvJfoIV5mrcVKzHaoBx9iMtPGs/s1600/Hanukkah+Carol+Garner+Southern+Accents+November-December+2004+-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1fxbsLKoid5_2PR0usXJA2Y6BD_UeE4GxWLctjKSuAX4hl7-OfYs3n_MUVL8tGBnIjvWydXPJMD1sCMpfFg2I5yf44uRq15iEpLUyEXhB8CNcgcRmFzvJfoIV5mrcVKzHaoBx9iMtPGs/s640/Hanukkah+Carol+Garner+Southern+Accents+November-December+2004+-1.jpg" width="568" /></a></div><br />With traditional Hanukkah colors being blue, white and silver there is so much potential for prettiness all around (in my humble blue and white loving opinion).  I love the gorgeous stemware she used. <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaytkZgq4wlVfcTcObMmD244sF3YPzrITn9CZkxDQk4L6e3X2HasYGnyVTN-xtu30xird1Q7Wlnm6pVLbU9bBjfi6B8pFN-ahCb-ZHUR7SOyj4juhzjse2M6ojKZNLxXf7t6kNtN_jsaA/s1600/Hanukkah+Carol+Garner+Southern+Accents+November-December+2004+-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaytkZgq4wlVfcTcObMmD244sF3YPzrITn9CZkxDQk4L6e3X2HasYGnyVTN-xtu30xird1Q7Wlnm6pVLbU9bBjfi6B8pFN-ahCb-ZHUR7SOyj4juhzjse2M6ojKZNLxXf7t6kNtN_jsaA/s640/Hanukkah+Carol+Garner+Southern+Accents+November-December+2004+-2.jpg" width="538" /></a></div><br />So pretty!<br /><br />Fact: as a child I thought Hanukkah meant Santa visited my Jewish friends 8 nights instead of one big night.  I don't think I ever ran it by anyone (I was sort of a know-it-all) so I probably assumed that longer than I should have.  I couldn't decide which was a better deal.  On the one hand, they got 8 nights of Christmas, but their presents were probably apportioned accordingly.  On the other hand, not getting all of your presents at once would be an exercise in serious self-control for me.  Kind of like the advent calender full of chocolate.  I <i>never</i> made it to Christmas.  There was always one fateful day where I could be found, under my bed with all of the chocolate wise men stuffed in my mouth. Shame spiral. <br /><i><br /></i><br /><i>Anyway</i>, the child pyro in me was also jealous of the nightly candle lighting.  Who didn't love to light and blow out candles as a kid.  That's when I would have ruined Hanukkah.  I would have secretly been lighting and blowing out the candles on the menorah when no one was looking.  No self control. <br /><br />Here are some really pretty menorahs I found on this etsy shop called <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/artnharmony58?ref=seller_info">artnharmony58</a>. She sells her own designs as well as vintage items. <br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-pdBJr1rVk7KoCpnf5F8_J9EsSrh8LLzcMI_rxF6MQupJitWorJEkhum_jOL8jAuALzKRc_LHEAz8ZRP9L8Xj0a8uhQUmRbz3-q4pgVowdB82Th2YqFShFrvUdIcM_Q6YxXAw3kwqGUg/s1600/Hanukkah+Brass+Menorah+Etsy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-pdBJr1rVk7KoCpnf5F8_J9EsSrh8LLzcMI_rxF6MQupJitWorJEkhum_jOL8jAuALzKRc_LHEAz8ZRP9L8Xj0a8uhQUmRbz3-q4pgVowdB82Th2YqFShFrvUdIcM_Q6YxXAw3kwqGUg/s1600/Hanukkah+Brass+Menorah+Etsy.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLz8XaLBJloC7q6RWmyHbAIHgut2XHgxQ4pobK8BYPoKO_Zz8ZNLFOQx4DZDBrdBKY38v-zeC9t3L75ohIb8T5jtO-wsJFDmo_uRrnb7IN7gjeLFbuTO0ejpQqiF8vRQXlnfG12nUz2Uk/s1600/Hanukkah+Bronze+Menorah+Etsy+artnharmony58.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLz8XaLBJloC7q6RWmyHbAIHgut2XHgxQ4pobK8BYPoKO_Zz8ZNLFOQx4DZDBrdBKY38v-zeC9t3L75ohIb8T5jtO-wsJFDmo_uRrnb7IN7gjeLFbuTO0ejpQqiF8vRQXlnfG12nUz2Uk/s1600/Hanukkah+Bronze+Menorah+Etsy+artnharmony58.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeZOFeMe6vQBrtC6VuDhZEw2wuG8NW25esAvFcRsYvlFereiF20vc33ISr-LWSYaxUoYIz3hsla6qNZBQ1O_DDIECQjR5VkqEsevV2tbkH0P95rNqYE0xrwa9s0n_ssbbxQSPd_GXgfRU/s1600/Hanukkah+Bronze+Patina+Menorah+.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeZOFeMe6vQBrtC6VuDhZEw2wuG8NW25esAvFcRsYvlFereiF20vc33ISr-LWSYaxUoYIz3hsla6qNZBQ1O_DDIECQjR5VkqEsevV2tbkH0P95rNqYE0xrwa9s0n_ssbbxQSPd_GXgfRU/s1600/Hanukkah+Bronze+Patina+Menorah+.jpg" /></a></div><br /><br />I also saw this chic and modern menorah in <a href="http://www.oprah.com/gift/Brad-Ascalon-Menorah">Oprah's favorite things</a> issue (I miss her). <br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAFFNbVPO0bDL7n5dl5eXmgS9Vruj_6H2X2yf1STYfGp-1TOg5BkOjrfzMp4MsESzBbH2yoqWcUTGPX3N2QyEp4tKs-BACYh4wVnG5JOBPm0_AEuj1AJNeMHYBqKsdIv5mrgbPOuugsYA/s1600/Hanukkah+Ascalon+Menorah+Design+Within+Reach+Oprah%2527s+Favorite+Things+Issue+.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAFFNbVPO0bDL7n5dl5eXmgS9Vruj_6H2X2yf1STYfGp-1TOg5BkOjrfzMp4MsESzBbH2yoqWcUTGPX3N2QyEp4tKs-BACYh4wVnG5JOBPm0_AEuj1AJNeMHYBqKsdIv5mrgbPOuugsYA/s1600/Hanukkah+Ascalon+Menorah+Design+Within+Reach+Oprah%2527s+Favorite+Things+Issue+.jpg" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.dwr.com/product/ascalon-menorah.do?from=Search">Ascalon Menorah - Design Within Reach</a> </td></tr></tbody></table><br />And, of course, we can't forget <a href="http://www.jonathanadler.com/Peacock-Menorah">Jonathan Adler's peacock menorah</a>!<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtzpLO1YwFsn5noHp65ol_VqfvzxX4appFjFx-48x4FSoa5XekGFEq5toB_e2PWq22Cl49eak6iTiafqZjIZwHXED9bg0WJdlIb0MOIsIMZ3MM1AFKyOEbqv8eA64iDFTxX7vaDroMEnc/s1600/Hanukkah+Jonathan+Adler+Peacock+Menorah+.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtzpLO1YwFsn5noHp65ol_VqfvzxX4appFjFx-48x4FSoa5XekGFEq5toB_e2PWq22Cl49eak6iTiafqZjIZwHXED9bg0WJdlIb0MOIsIMZ3MM1AFKyOEbqv8eA64iDFTxX7vaDroMEnc/s1600/Hanukkah+Jonathan+Adler+Peacock+Menorah+.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Hope everyone has a lovely day! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Shalom! </div>
