The place setting
|
 |
"Ditto" by Ikea flatware was the inspiration for this week's tablescape
|
 |
The five piece place setting - the teaspoon is tiny....but they look great on the table
|
 |
I goofed when I bought these amethyst glasses - I actually needed teal crackled glassware but somehow came home with these (declining brain waves due to old age.......) I rapidly fell in love with them anyway.
|
 |
Pat started with this gorgeous amethyst colored Depression glass cream soup and liner
|
 |
The next layer is a White Fiesta Luncheon plate
|
 |
Then (my favorite Fiesta color) came a Heather Fiesta Dinner plate
|
 |
Pat used a sleek, coupe charger by Bernardaud
|
 |
To add just a touch of color to the place setting, Pat layered a napkin under the setting to act as a placemat (the napkins are slightly silky in texture so they were perfect)
|
 |
The napkin sits on a White Fiesta Bread/Butter plate
|
 |
The white napkin rings add just the right touch
|
 |
The tea light matches the color scheme - it is amethyst, also
|
 |
Depressionware candle holders hold amethyst tapers
|
 |
Pat made floral arrangements in extra cream soups bowls and then turned the liner over to act as a riser
|
 |
The centrepiece arrangement sits in a gorgeous amethyst colored bowl
|
 |
One last look at the table from the other end

This is a regal table with all those lovely shades. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty table and I am so impressed with the photographs! Purple/amethyst is so hard to shoot and looks blue or brown, occasionally, in pictures. The new flatware is great and I agree that the Fiesta is a wonderful color. Your story, about the glassware, made me laugh! I have made some of those same mistakes! I once meant to order four dinner plates of a pattern from Replacements and four cups and saucers showed up. When I checked my order form, so I could inform Replacements that they sent the wrong items, I found that I have checked the wrong box! Oh well, I can use the cups, too!!
ReplyDeleteI am in love with this purple tablescape...it's stunning!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely lovely!

Your tablescape is gorgeous. The heather (purple) and white plates are beautiful together. And I love the IKEA flatware. I just found a set of plum colored dragonfly plates over the weekend. You have given me some wonderful ideas on how to use them in a tablescape. Both you and your sister are so talented. When I first found your site last January I was so impressed that I went back and looked at almost all of your posts. I am very new to blogging and I have no idea how I can join your blog. I did not see the usual place to join at. I would really like to be a member!
