Veteran's Day Tablescape

This week's tablescape is a personal one for Pat and me. It's not really out of the ordinary or extravagant. It's just a simple but hopefully nice table that Pat did to commemorate all Veterans - especially our Dad. Like most Veterans returning from World War II, our Dad was proud of his time in service to America. Here's to you, Dad.

Over view of the table

The place setting

Pat chose simple flatware to carry the theme through - this is "King James" Silverplate by Oneida

First layer of the place setting is a small soup bowl with white liner

The salad plate is by Bormioli and matches the charger

The thin, white dinner plate is "Racine" by Hutschenreuther

The glass charger

Red, "white," and blue glassware

Crystal candle holders 

Pat, somehow, always has me ironing - I folded the napkins

Our Dad's flag - to be removed and replaced with a bouquet of flowers before the meal

One last look from the other end of the table
