Casual Lenox Butterfly Meadow Tablescape

This week's table features my current everyday dinnerware - Butterfly Meadow - by Lenox. I started buying it nearly 25 years ago - first from Costco, then anytime I found it locally (which was rare) and now mostly from my go-to-place for all dishes, Replacements,Ltd. I prefer the classic collection over the styles that evolved during the following years.

Pat chose blue from the plates to accent the table - she used blue glassware, chargers, and napkin rings.

Celebrating An Upcoming Birth Tablescape

This week's table was designed by Pat's daughter when she was here visiting a few weeks ago. Not the typical "over the top" baby shower pink and blue kind of table with lots of flashy decorations, this table is colorful and lively but simple. Purple and yellow colors add a touch of uniqueness. 

The lilac colored wicker placemats are from Pier 1. They started life as multicolored, rather ugly mats that the store could not sell. When they went on sale, I knew what I wanted to do - I bought them and spray painted them lilac and never looked back.

Flatware is "Primary" by Noritake

All dinnerware is Fiesta(ware) by Homer Laughlin

Glassware is French white milk glass by Portieux

Pat used my vintage white salt box as a vase to hold purple flowers
