Our July 4th Tablescape

Never one to stick to traditional themes and colors, Pat set our 4th of July tablescape this week using J. & G. Meakin's "Americana Brown" ironstone dinnerware and mixed it with a brown Fiesta(ware) bread and butter plate. (We have been searching literally years for the matching elusive bread and butter plates to this set of dishes but it has proven to be a fruitless task.) 

Ceramic handle flatware is "Iron Brown" by Noritake

We found the chargers at Pier 1 years ago

Stemmed glassware is "Espresso" by Lenox
