Pat's Annual Duck Season Tablescape

The men (and some of the ladies) from Pat's husband's side of the family are avid duck hunters - strangely, not Pat's husband - but the family "partakes." So every year, Pat sets a table and host a dinner [as a vegetarian for fifty years, I am, needless to say, writhing with pain and nausea at the thought] for that side of her family.

Yes, this table is at my house, but I will be wrapping up the dinnerware for transport to Pat's as soon as I take pictures since I store most of the tablescaping "supplies"

Flatware is "Vault" by Gourmet Settings

Once again, Pat used two chargers - this one is a "Sage" Fiesta(ware) chop plate by Homer Laughlin 

I found these extremely heavy glass amber chargers on eBay years ago 

Where it came from:

Sage Green Ribbed Place Mats - Bed, Bath, and Beyond years ago

Dark Amber Glass Chargers - from eBay years ago (pattern and manufacturer unknown)

Autumn Copper and Fiesta(ware) Tablescape

Pat's daughter, Jennifer, was here this weekend, and we got her to design an Autumn table for the weekly blog - she, of course, chose her favorite dinnerware to use - Fiesta(ware) and selected Pier 1's copper goblets to add additional color to the table.

Where it came from:

Burnt Orange Place Mats - from Bed, Bath, and Beyond several years ago

Colorful Dinnerware - "Sage," "Chocolate," and "Tangerine," Fiesta(ware) by Homer Laughlin from Macy's, Kohl's, and Replacements,Ltd.

Hammered Copper Flatware - "Paris Essenstahl" by Hampton Forge from Horchow years ago
