Casual "Field Notes" Tablescape

Nothing says enjoyable "family dinner" than a fun, casual table with lively conversation and lots of good food. Pat set the table this week using Pier 1's "Field Notes" ironstone dinnerware and rustic copper flatware.

Pat tried avocado green glassware first but decided on Amber

Love the copper flatware but I keep saying it is miserable to hold because of the awkward handles

Pat used twigs around the centerpiece to decorate the table and carry through with the theme

Where it came from:

Light Sage Place Mats - from Bed, Bath and Beyond years ago

Wicker Chargers - from Pier 1 five or six years ago

Wooden Sage Chargers - from Pier 1 nine or ten years ago

Dinnerware - "Field Notes" by Pier 1

Amber Glassware - from our collection

Flatware - "Rustic Twig" from Black Forest Decor ten years ago

Napkins - from Linentablecloth.com (still available)

Making Noritake Momentum Casual Tablescape

Pat chose to challenge herself this week for the blog's tablescape by using fine porcelain Noritake "Momentum" dinnerware in a casual setting with browns, rust, and copper. She came up with an unexpected Southwest-like table.
