Coming to the End of Summer Tablescape

As Summer is drawing to a conclusion, Pat decided to make the most of the remaining days. She set this week's table using colorful dinnerware that we found at Pier 1 eight or nine years ago. The pattern is called "San Marino" and it is a sturdy, vibrant ironstone that brings life to the table.

Unlike a lot of people, I am not a big fan of a yellow and blue combination, but the addition of a little yellow here, I think, brightens up and adds to the table

The bright white napkin is held by a yellow napkin ring (made from PVC pipe cut into 1" rounds and spray painted with yellow plastic adhesive spray paint)

Flatware is large, shiny stainless steel "Vintage Countryside" by Ricci

The perfect glassware - inexpensive goblets from the Dollar Tree
