Black and White Checked Tablescape

No formality here - this week's table is a bit lively and casual with a feel of Winter to it. Pat used an older set of dinnerware that we bought years ago at Pier 1 from the sale shelf. (I'm still reeling from the news that our local Pier 1 is set to close this year - I just about cried when the assistant manager broke the news to Pat and me last Sunday. What a disaster....maybe not a disaster to the pocketbook but still a heartbreak....)

Pat started with leather-like place mats to add a touch of warmth to the table

Flatware is "Primary" by Noritake

This is a "White" Fiesta(ware) luncheon plate

Pat used a "White" Fiesta(ware) Chop Plate for a charger

Glassware is "Midnight Black" by Artland Glass Company
