Valentine Tablescape

This week's Valentine's Day tablescape could be described as pure sweetness - nothing flashy or gaudy. Once again, Pat's daughter put together the table reusing last week's place mats and her favorite pattern of dishes - Fiesta(ware).

Flatware is "Primary" by Noritake

The only actual "nod" to Valentine's Day is the heart napkin rings from Pier 1

The dinnerware consists of "Flamingo" and "White" Fiesta(ware)

The charger is from the Maryland China Company

Upbeat glassware from Pier 1 adds interest to the table

Where it came from:

Place Mats - From Bed, Bath and Beyond last year

Charger - from the Maryland China Company (mail order)

China - "Flamingo" and "White" Fiesta(ware) by Homer Laughlin from Macy's, Kohl's and Replacements,Ltd.

Glassware - from Pier 1 years ago

Flatware - "Primary" by Noritake from eBay

Napkins - from Linentablecloth.com

Heart Napkin Rings - from Pier 1 four or five years ago

Candle Holders - from Pat's Depression glass collection

This week, we will be joining "Tablescape Thursday" at Between Naps on the Porch: http://betweennapsontheporch.net/

Family Tablescaping Fun

Par's daughter was visiting this weekend to help celebrate her Mother's 76th birthday. Of course, she joined Par to "play" with dishes at my house for a while. This week's table was just one of many that she and Pat came up with. This one was inspired by the place mats that we found on sale at Bed, Bath, and Beyond last year.
