Inspiration: Spring Parties and Gold flatware

It's been a while since I've done an Inspiration post. I have been having a big crush on gold lately, especially gold housewares and flatware.  I have a theory that gold has become so popular lately because it hit an all time record high in value about a year ago and so many people sold their gold to make a little extra cash and now people are coveting it because they got rid of it.  Hmm, maybe just a theory. Anyway I'm loving these party tablescapes set with gold flatware. Makes me want to throw a big Spring soi·rée.
