Check It Out Tablescape

After over 73 years, Pat knows how to drive me bonkers. She knows I hate, I mean hate, plastic plates. So this week, she decided to use a set of "dinnerware" [I use the phrase very loosely....] that has been hidden in the back of my cupboard for years . And of course, when she was done, I loved the table. Yes, I swallowed my pride, ate some crow, bought the bullet, and any number of other "admitting one's mistakes" axioms and told her so.




Flatware is "Decision" by Noritake 
The dreaded plastic accent plates - Pat found them at a thrift store years ago
Dinner plates are yellow "Fun Factory" by Waechtersbach


Pat used individual bottles of wine with the guest's name attached for place card holders



Where it came from:
Black and White Checked Tablecloth - from Linentablecloth.com (a really neat site for inexpensive table and wedding supplies)
Black Chargers - "Color Spectrum" by Mikasa from Replacements,Ltd.com
Dinner Plates - Yellow "Fun Factory" by Waechtersbach from Tuesday Morning years ago
Bread and Butter Plate - Daffodil "Fiesta(ware)" Appetizer Plate by Homer Laughlin from Replacements,Ltd.com
Chef Accent Plates - Purchased by Pat at a thrift store years ago
Flatware - "Decision" by Noritake from eBay years ago
Water Glass - by Libby from Ross years ago
Wine Glass - "Entertain" from Bed, Bath, and Beyond eight or nine years ago
Centerpiece Jug - from Pier 1 four or five years ago

  1. Love this tablescape ladies - the wine theme just says European to me; maybe Greece, or Italy, or even France. I hope you get to enjoy the fruits of your labors, so to speak.

  2. Fun and inviting, and a great use of the individual bottles of wine! Too funny about the plastic plates, but these are so cute and perfect for this table!
