Apple Challenge

Cuisine Kathleen of "Let's Dish" (http://www.cuisinekathleen.com/) has issued a challenge this week for all tablescapers - design a table using apples. We love Kathleen's challenges, and this one was no exception. Pat pulled a few things out of the cupboard, and this is what she came up with for our entry.

The place setting

Flatware is rustic "Montana" by Gourmet Settings

Love this simple glassware - "Frost" by Libby

Pat used an apple green napkin wrapped in a checked red napkin held by a wicker napkin ring

The stack

The five piece place setting

Pat started the place setting with a Granny Smith Apple in a small white bowl

Next layer is the matching salad plate

To add a punch of color, Pat used a Scarlett Fiesta Luncheon plate

The matching white dinner plate is next

The charger is a colorful Apple Green

For the centerpiece, Pat turned two fruit baskets on their sides and had apples "pouring" out

Candles are apple green and red to coordinate with the color theme



One last look at the table from the other end
Where it came from:
Apple Green Chargers - Durand's Color Moods from Replacements
White Dinnerware - by Oneida from a local boutique
Flatware - Montana by Gourmet Settings from Bed, Bath, and Beyond
Red Plate - Scarlett Fiesta by Homer Laughlin from Kohl's
Apple Green Napkin - Handmade by Pat to match the Granny Smith Apple
Red Checked Napkin - Pier 1
Wicker Napkin Ring - Pier 1
Glassware - "Frost" by Libby from Ross
Glass Candle Holders - from TJ Maxx
Candles, Baskets - Michael's

We will be joining Cuisine Kathleen's "Let's Dish" this Wednesday:  http://www.cuisinekathleen.com/ Be sure to look for next month's challenge - design a table for Fall using white plates (no colored plates allowed.)
