Crayon Tablescape

 With a large outbreak locally this last week in our community of Covid-19, Pat wanted to set a fun table to "lighten the mood" a bit and help boost morale. She got out her sewing machine and extra material and set to work. Here is what she came up with:

Colorful and fun is how to describe this table - and while it won"t be used, it was fun to set and spend some time with Pat

Flatware is "Queensgate" by J. A. Henckels

Pat started with a shiny apple

A Fiesta(ware) "Lemongrass" Fruit/Sauce bowl held the apple

The other Fiesta(ware) colors used on the table are "Scarlett," "Daffodil," and Peacock. The Bread and Butter plate is "Mulberry,"

The charger is from the Maryland China Company (mail order)

Glassware is "Picardy" from Pier 1 several years ago

Yes, matching masks - you know Pat's sense of humor and it's very "pandemically correct" - makes a great Dinner favor for guests.

The centerpiece is a large bowl of Crayola crayons

Always attention to detail, Pat used coordinated-color candles in crayon lined candle holders

One last look from the other end of the table

Where it came from:

Castleton Rose and Lapis Dinner Tablescape

Not formal and not too casual, this week's tablescape is set for Dinner (pre-pandemic of course - no social distancing or masks in sight.) Pat decided to use Castleton Rose dinnerware (she found a complete twelve place setting set including luncheon plates and serving pieces in pristine condition at the Hospice Thrift Store a few years ago for less than $80.) To tone it down a bit and make it more casual, she mixed it with "Lapis" Fiesta(ware) and added Dollar Tree glassware. 

Flatware is "Cameo Gold" by Mikasa

The charger is a "Lapis" Fiesta(ware) Chop Plate by Homer Laughlin

Glassware is one of Pat's favorites - from the Dollar Tree

One last look from the other end of the table

Where it came from:

Charger and Matching Bread and Butter Plate - "Lapis" Fiesta(ware) by Homer Laughlin from Replacements.com

Dinnerware - "Castleton Rose" by Castleton Potteries (1940-1972) from the Arcata Hospice Thrift Store

Flatware - "Cameo Gold" Stainless by Mikasa from Horchow several years ago

Glassware - from the Dollar Tree (still available)

Napkin - Handmade by Pat

Candle Holders - from our Depression glass collection
