Ladies Luncheon Tablescape

Perhaps this week's tablescape is more suited to a Spring table than a cold blustery Winter one, but here in our part of the country, January is a normally a "mild" month with sunny skies and moderate to warm temperatures. (Then Mother Nature turns the next few months into wet, windy and generally nasty weather for revenge.) So, Pat took advantage of the lull and set this week's table featuring pink and white.

Flatware is "April" by Wm Rogers & Son

The floral napkin rings are from Pier 1

Pat used the large accent plate in the "Rose Chintz" pattern instead of the regular dinner plate

This is one of several pink Depressionware glass that we are fortunate to own.

Where it came from:

Oval Place Mats - from Art & Old Things (a local antique boutique sadly out of business) years ago

Charger - "Rose Blush" Color Spectrum by Mikasa from eBay and Replacements,Ltd.com

Dinnerware - "Rose Chintz" by Johnson Brothers from Replacements,Ltd.com and eBay

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

Glassware - "Royal Pierpont Pink" by Noritake (1986-1996)

White Centerpiece Tray - Pattern unknown but by Schumann (I was told that Schumann made many of there famous pieces in just white porcelain so that they could be hand-painted. This is probably one of them.)

Pale Pink Napkins - Handmade by Pat

Napkin Rings - from Pier 1 several years ago

Assorted Pink Depression Ware - from our collection

This week's table is set for a simple family gathering - since our Mother was Italian, it was an easy theme for Pat to put together.
