Royal Doulton Brienne Luncheon Tablescape

I ;have always said that inspiration for a tablescape comes from some of the oddest places. This week's tablescape (and possibly several more) came from a mixed bush of small flowers purchased at Michael's years ago that Pat found laying off to the side in the garage. She loved the pastel colors and thought we might have some dinnerware in similar or coordinating colors. Hence this week's place setting:

Where it came from:

Lace Place Mats - from a local departments store long out of business

Apricot Colored Chargers - inexpensive lacquer chargers painted to match dinnerware and napkins

Dinnerware - "Brienne" by Royal Doulton (1984-1988) from eBay

Flatware - "April" by Wm Rogers & Son from Pat's collection

Glassware - Blue Opaline by Portieux Vallerystal (a gift from our very dear dish addicted Cousin)

Shell Flower Napkin Rings - from a local antique store years and years ago

Apricot Napkins - From Tuesday Morning years ago

Blue Candles - bought six or seven boxes years ago from Tuesday Morning just before they closed

Pre-made Centerpiece - purchased from Costco years ago

We will be joining Susan for "Tablescape Thursday" at Between Naps on the Porch this Thursday: http://betweennapsontheporch.net/ 

The inspiration.....
