Summer Fun Challenge Tablescape

Pat and I are joining Cuisine Kathleen's "Let's Dish" Summertime Challenge this Wednesday night (http://www.cuisinekathleen.com/). With that in mind, Pat designed a Summer table using dishes that she has wanted to use for a long time.

Over view of the table - designed with lots of fun in the sun in mind

The place setting

The dishware is heavy weight melamine from Bed, Bath, and Beyond

The dinner plate matches the salad plate

The chargers are made of mango wood each with a distinct wood grain

Pat chose clear acrylic handled flatware that does not detract from the place setting

The five piece place setting

A wicker holder in complimentary colors is perfect for the glass

The marigold color of the bread and butter plate matches one of the chair of the beach scene

The candle's color is similar to the wicker glass holder

Pat made these small votives from Humboldt Bay oyster shells
