Castleton Rose Tablescape

Pat set this week's table with our newest "favorite" dinnerware - "Castleton Rose" (1950-1972) by the Castleton China Company. Pat recently found it at a local Hospice thrift store reduced from $300 for a complete set in pristine condition for 12 to $95. It was love at first sight.....

Pat started with an ivory colored tablecloth and then added ecru colored lace place mats

Although it looks like I didn't iron the tablecloth, I really did.....

Gold colored flatware seemed like the perfect choice for the place setting - "Antique Baroque" by Wallace

Glassware is "Omega" Marquis by Waterford

Pat mixed in more mauve and purple colored flowers to an arrangement she had already done
