Entre Les Murs

If It Quacks Like a Gander

Last night we finally managed to re-pay D&T for the times they've had us over while we were finding our feet and getting settled. While this isn't the first time we've entertained in Paris, it's the first time we've managed to do so with all the wedding china, tableclothes, and so on. We may indeed have gotten a little carried away, since these are close friends dropping over for a casual Sunday evening; but they hadn't seen the apartment yet and we wanted to show it off a little.

But, in the midst of our final preparations, it struck me. After spending an hour polishing silver so that we could use our nicest pieces, I guess it's official: if I have, and actually use, a silver-trimmed toothpick holder for serving canapés, I really must be all grown up.
