Waiting for Spring Tablescape

Having spent several days last week "experiencing another atmospheric river" and the resulting wet weather, we had three days of dry, near-sunshine skies - turns out this was just a tease. Starting tomorrow we are going to have another spree of wet, windy weather  with possible "hazardous conditions." This is why Pat set this week's table looking forward to Spring and sunshine.

She selected fitting dinnerware to go with the theme - "Sunny Branch" from Pier 1 - and bright marigold yellow accents.

European-style satin finish flatware is "Pendulum" by Robert Welch

A versatile work horse, the gray charger is "Faience" by Christofle 

Glassware is "Kara" from Pier 1

Pat used loads of silk tulips for part of the centerpiece

Where it came from:

Hemstitch Marigold Place Mat and matching napkin - from out collection

Charger - "Faience Gray" by Christofle from eBay

Dinnerware - "Sunny Branch" from Pier 1 more than ten ears ago

Bread and Butter Plate - "White" Fiesta(ware) by Homer Laughlin from Replacements,Ltd.

Valentine and Red Depression Glass Tablescape

This week's Valentine's Day tablescape features red Depression glass and white dinnerware.  Once again, the table was designed by our great niece during her visit a few weeks ago and then Pat put the finishing touches on the centerpiece with the addition of a gorgeous red glass tea service. It was a gift to Pat that she wanted to use and this was the ideal table to share it.

The white porcelain dinnerware is from Maryland China Company.

Glassware is "Esprit" by Princess House

The glass tea set sits on a white porcelain serving platter by Schumann

Where it came from:

Lace Place Mat - from a local Department long out of business

Red Beaded Heart Place Mat - from Target years ago

White Dinnerware - "Embossed Leaf" from the Maryland China Company years ago

Red Glass Dinner Plate - Assorted patterns from our collection

Flatware - Acrylic handled by Cambridge from Ross many years ago
