Winter Table

Pat switched course this week and set an early Winter table (even though today we had a record breaking high temperature for this time of year - over 75 degrees. Normally, even in Summer, here on the north coast of California, we rarely get above 65-70 degrees......)

We couldn't pass these plates up at Pier 1 this season. 

Pat used a black Fiesta(ware) chop plate as a second charger to add more interest

We found these glass chargers on the sale shelf at Pier 1 last year. Pat layered the napkin underneath since she did not want to distract from the place setting.

Another bargain from Pier 1, we have these silver trimmed goblets in a gold trim also.
