Pat had help with this week's tablescape. Our great-niece was here from Washington D.C. and had stopped by to see how we were all doing. Naturally, being a dishaholic like many of the family, she couldn't resist "picking up plates to play with."
Pat created the centerpiece using an assortment of amber glass and wooden pumpkins
Being unafraid and unencumbered by tradition of mixing patterns, styles and colors, our great-niece blended vintage Spode "Buttercup" with inexpensive Spice Route "Ginger" from Pier 1 and everyday Homer Laughlin's "Chocolate" Fiesta(ware) bread and butter plate.
Flatware is Brown "Roma" by D&D Design
Glassware is "Clarion" by Lenox
Where it came from:
Ivory Napkins/Place Mats - from Linentablecloth.com (mail order) several years ago
Brown Chargers - Inexpensive lacquer charger thrifted and then spray painted with plastic-adhesive spray paint
Dinnerware - Spode "Buttercup" (1924-2003) mostly gifted to me by Pat
Accent Plate - "Spice Route Ginger" from Pier 1 years ago
Bread and Butter Plates - "Chocolate" Fiesta(ware) by Homer Laughlin from Replacements,Ltd.
Flatware - Brown "Roma" by D&D Design from Horchow several years ago
Glassware - "Clarion" Brown by Lenox (1977-1983) from a local Bridal shop long out of business
Napkin Rings, Amber Glass Pumpkins, Wooden Pumpkins and hemstitch gold napkins - from Pier 1 over the years
We will be joining Susan for "Tablescape Thursday" at Between Naps on the Porch this Thursday: http://betweennapsontheporch.net/
