Winter Fishing Tablescape

Since temperatures in our part of the country rarely dip below freezing in Winter, fishing is not an unheard of sport. We are fortunate enough to have lots of clear ponds, lakes and rivers to fish from (not so fortunate for the fish however says the Vegan blogger.)  Carnivore Pat decided to set this week's table using some unique fish-shaped bowl and cute salt and pepper shakers that we have had for years.

Glassware is brown "Clarion" by Lenox

Pat used simple Winter greenery and brown lanterns for the centerpiece.

Ladies Luncheon Tablescape

Perhaps this week's tablescape is more suited to a Spring table than a cold blustery Winter one, but here in our part of the country, January is a normally a "mild" month with sunny skies and moderate to warm temperatures. (Then Mother Nature turns the next few months into wet, windy and generally nasty weather for revenge.) So, Pat took advantage of the lull and set this week's table featuring pink and white.

Flatware is "April" by Wm Rogers & Son

The floral napkin rings are from Pier 1

Pat used the large accent plate in the "Rose Chintz" pattern instead of the regular dinner plate

This is one of several pink Depressionware glass that we are fortunate to own.

Where it came from:

Oval Place Mats - from Art & Old Things (a local antique boutique sadly out of business) years ago

Charger - "Rose Blush" Color Spectrum by Mikasa from eBay and Replacements,Ltd.com

Flatware - "April" silverplate by Wm Rogers & Son from Pat's collection

Glassware - "Royal Pierpont Pink" by Noritake (1986-1996)

Napkin Rings - from Pier 1 several years ago
