The generations are at again, this time with the Lenox Stainless Steel Flatware Set.  My Friend, Kristen (20), Isabella (4-1/2) and I (49) each chose a different pattern of the Lenox Tableware and styled it for a formal dinner, an everyday table and a tea party.  Guess who chose what?

Hi, it’s Isabella!  I like this tea party because I like my tea set that I got for my birthday. I picked this polar bear because he’s really fluffy.  He lives where Santa lives; and I like Santa. I picked this bunny because I like him; and he’s my favorite bunny’s brother.  And I love him. That’s it!  (Hi, it’s Nancy.  The pattern she used was Covington.  Doesn’t it make “Gracie” Bear’s birthday/tea party even more special?)

Hi, it’s Kristen!  Nancy has a set of casual dinnerware passed down to her from her Grandma.  I wanted to style these because they suit my personality.  They are bright, cheerful and pink – that’s me!  I chose the Brentwood pattern because it has a simple country feel that reminds me of my hometown (population 973).

I guess you know what I chose.  Formal.  OK, I really didn’t “choose” it.  It was the only choice left.  Ugh. Truth be told, I’m a casual girl all the way!  So, I had to search the internet for tips on how to set a formal dinner table!  I love the Bellevue pattern with my best china and my grandma’s crystal for Easter; but, I can totally see these being perfect for a picnic with paper plates.  It’s sleek and elegant without any of the stuffiness.

What’s your style?: Casual, Formal or would you rather have a Tea Party with your favorite stuffed animals?
