Bright, Bold Summer Tablescape

This week's tablescape is definitely not short on color. Our great-niece once again set the table to reflect a youthful, contemporary, and bold style - mixing patterns, textures, and colors much to the dismay of her very doddering old aunts. But as usual, things turned out spectacularly. The table looks great....

Chef's Kiss Tablescape

This week's table features dishes that Pat found while thrifting one day after the gym. (Pat says I am a dish snob - I hate plastic dishes of any kind, I abhor going "thrifting" ever, and the thought of going to the gym is nauseating at best. Call me fiscally wasteful, call me unhealthy, call me a dish snob....at nearly 77 years old, it's OK. I'll live with it....)

Anyway, Pat paired her plastic accent plates with two chargers: a Fiesta(ware) "Paprika" chop plate and another thrifted find - a plastic charger that was spray painted a bold yellow.

Black and White Check Tablecloth and Napkins - from Linentableloth.com several years ago
