Crowns and candlelight

I want to remember to grow more zinnias next year.  I really love them.  This one had a perfect center that made me think of the crown below I had just seen.  

Anniversary dinner!  Salad from the garden, and cod.  Simple but perfect.  We even lost power, but fortunately had a candle burning.  I had forgotten how nice it is to eat only by candle light.  A few favorite pots on the table.   Those little bowls are the perfect size but I can't remember the potters name.  And a cup/vases by Michael Kline, Gay Smith, Kent McLaughlin, Michael Hunt and Naomi Dalglish, all friends from Penland.
