Check It Out Tablescape

After over 73 years, Pat knows how to drive me bonkers. She knows I hate, I mean hate, plastic plates. So this week, she decided to use a set of "dinnerware" [I use the phrase very loosely....] that has been hidden in the back of my cupboard for years . And of course, when she was done, I loved the table. Yes, I swallowed my pride, ate some crow, bought the bullet, and any number of other "admitting one's mistakes" axioms and told her so.

Flatware is "Decision" by Noritake 

The dreaded plastic accent plates - Pat found them at a thrift store years ago

Dinner plates are yellow "Fun Factory" by Waechtersbach

Pat used individual bottles of wine with the guest's name attached for place card holders
