Since we can finally get together as a family and safely have dinners again (at least for now), Pat wanted to celebrate our parent's wedding anniversary - it would have been 76 years on April 22nd - and combine it with Mother's Day. [So you will know how weird our family is and how we will celebrate almost anything, we are getting together Friday night with the theme of Depression Era food. Our brother is fixing his "famous" Hoover Stew* as the main course, and the rest of us are coming up with side dishes and desserts. It's going to be great fun! Dinnerware will be casual and from that era, too.]
Where it came from:
Glass Charger - from Pier 1 several years ago
Dinnerware - "Spring Bouquet" by Lenox from eBay and Replacements,Ltd.com
Glassware - "Fedora" [1985-2001]by Spiegelau from Replacements,Ltd.com
Ivory Table Linen - from Linentablecloth.com
Gold Napkin Rings - from Bed, Bath, and Beyond years ago
Flatware - Pattern unknown from eBay
Salt and Pepper Shakers - "Edme" by Wedgwood from our collection
Candle Holders - by Waterford from Pat's collection
This week, we will be joining "Tablescape Thursday" at Between Naps on the Porch: http://betweennapsontheporch.net/
*In case you are interested: A short article and a recipe for Hoover Stew can be found: Here. YouTube has lots of videos about Depression Era foods also.
What a lovely table! That china is so pretty, with the fluted borders and soft colors. I look forward to seeing your "Depression Era" table, too, that party sounds like great fun.
