Farm Animal Tablescape

It's another week of an "animal theme" tablescape - I promise to move on to other dinnerware soon. This week, Pat's daughter was here and set the table using "Ol' McDonald" salad plates by American Atelier and vintage "Heather" Fiesta(ware) dinner plates by Homer Laughlin.











Yes, Pat and I bought the candle holders from an actual farm store several years ago for a farm table
Where it came from:
Faux leather place mat - from Pier 1 years ago
Off-white charger - "Edme" by Wedgwood from where ever we can find it (produced from 1908 to 2014)
Dinner plate - "Heather" Fiesta(ware) by Homer Laughlin from ebay, Replacements,Ltd., and a local antique store
Accent plates - "Ol' McDonald" by American Atelier from eBay
Bread and Butter plate - "Sage" green Fiesta(ware) appetizer plate by Homer Laughlin from Replacements,Ltd.
Flatware - "Castello" stainless by Godinger from Costco years ago

Simple Pelican Tablescape

 Pat was in rare form this week when she came up with a pelican-themed tablescape. She found a large, metal pelican figure stored in my garage and that was her inspiration for what was to become our tablescape. (I thought that I had hidden it better, but, alas, not good enough....) 









Where it came from:
Rope Charger - from Pier 1 several years ago
Charger Plate - "Color Spectrum" Sun Yellow by Mikasa from eBay and Replacements,Ltd.
Dinner Plate and Matching Bread and Butter Plate - Cobalt Blue (1986-2021) Fiesta(ware) by Homer Laughlin from Macy's and Replacements,Ltd. at least fifteen years ago
Accent Plate - "Pelican" from Pier 1 nine years ago
Water Goblet - from our collection
Wine Glass - "Premiere" by Libby from a local store long out of business
Flatware - Cobalt Blue Primastone by Noritake from eBay
Napkins - Handmade by Pat to coordinate with the plates
Rope Napkin Rings - from Michael's years ago
