Late Mother's Day Luncheon Tablescape

Pat did manage to get a table together for Mother's Day this week even though it has been a truly hectic and wildly busy time. Sorry it's a little late.....Our Mother's name was "Rose" so Pat always likes to feature roses on the table. Here's what she came up with:
Pat picked my two favorite Fiesta(ware) colors to feature on the table: "Rose" and "Sea Mist". Sadly, neither color is still produced.
The place setting seemed a little "flat" to Pat so she "elevated" it by the napkin fold.


Flatware is "Butterfly"stainless steel by Godinger








Pat just used a simple pre-made flower arrangement for the centerpiece.
Where it came from:
Place Mats - "Hemlock" colored tablecloth/napkins fashioned into place mats from Linentablecloth.com
White Charger - from Maryland China Company (still available but purchased years ago)
Dinner Plate - "Sea Mish" Fiesta(ware) from eBay
Luncheon Plate, Bread and Butter Plate, Cup and Saucer, Salt/Pepper Shakers, Matching Bulb Candle Holders - "Rose" Fiesta(ware) [1986-2005] by Homer Laughlin from eBay, Replacements,Ltd., and local antique stores
