Turquoise Adelaide Tablescape

Pat wanted to set a simple table this week after several weeks of "busy" ones. She chose to use 222 Fifth "Adelaide"  to make a more subdued and understated table.

Flatware is "Vingtage Countryside" by Ricci

Pat used the bread and butter plate as a soup liner

Modern style glassware is from Pier 1 

Pat found an Armani figurine from our Mother's collection that was the perfect color

The candle holders are "Lotus" milk glass by Westmoreland Glass Company

New Year's Eve Celebration Table

I don't think that I am ready for 2020 - it seems like this year just began. But....it is right around the corner so Pat set this week's table in anticipation of the "big event."

Black, silver, and lots of crystal with a dash of red

Flatware is "Sculpt" by Lenox

The centerpiece is a simple crystal bowl filled with mirror tiled balls

Lenox Winter Greetings Table

For our final Christmas season table, Pat used Lenox "Winter Greetings" china (which features different birds on holiday greenery.) It makes a simple but elegant table.

Flatware is "Broadway" by Argent

We found the glassware on a sale shelf at Pier 1 a few years ago - less than $1.00 each

Tartan Christmas Tablescape

I originally called this week's post "Tartan Plaid" but was quickly corrected - in Scotland (home of the "tartan") plaid is actually a blanket or large piece tartan material. So, duly corrected, the table this week mixes tartan and black to create a different Holiday table.

Even Santa is dressed in tartan

Black Faux Leather Place Mat - from Pier 1 six or seven years ago
Metal Tartan Charger - from Pier 1 this year
Matte Dinner Plate  - from World Market years ago
Tartan Accent/Salad Plate - from Pier 1 this year
Bread and Butter Plate - "Black" Fiesta(ware) by Homer Laughlin from Replacements.com
