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.
