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

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
Flatware - by Cambridge from Bed, Bath, and Beyond several years ago
Red Stemmed Goblet - from our collection
Green Champagne Trumpet Glass - "Designer Series" by Judal from Replacements.com
Napkin - Also from Pier 1 this season
Napkin Ring - from Bed, Bath, and Beyond three or four years ago
Christmas Tree Centerpiece - from Michael's years ago
Ornaments, Greenery and Garland - also from Michael's years ago
Tartan Santa Claus - from our collection
