You've heard me talk about my extreme dish-addicted cousin lots of time. He was friends with a woman who gave many dinner parties - but the parties were very unusual. She would never set a formal (and I might add always gorgeous) table with only one dinnerware pattern. She owned dozens of sets of exquisite dishes that she loved and said she just couldn't make up her mind which one to use. So, she always set the table with different patterns but tied them together using the same charger, flatware, stemware and napkin. Unique and gorgeous.
We have also set "sampler" tablescape before and I have loved them. This week we decided to set another.
Gold-leaf glass Chargers - found at the Discovery Shop (the Cancer Society's thrift store) years ago
Dinnerware - various places but mostly Replacements,Ltd., eBay, and estate sales
Gold Flatware - "Kyoto Frost" by Holister from Wayfair nine years ago
Stemware - "Fedora" by Spiegelau from Replacements,Ltd.
Gold Beaded Napkin Rings - from Pier 1 years ago
Gold Napkin - from eBay this year
Chiffon Napkin Overlay - a gift from Pat
Armani Figurine - from our Mother's collection
This week, we will be joining "Tablescape Thursday" at Between Naps on the Porch: http://betweennapsontheporch.net/
