"Fern" from Richard Simmons doll collection (designed by Annie Wahl). We call her Virignia after our Mother's "exercise buddy."
|
I never make resolutions for the new year, but when Pat came up with the idea for this week's tablescape, I couldn't resist going along with it......Our ladies' Luncheon Group will enjoy it.

Flatware is by Nobility - simple silverplate

The place setting starts with two napkins held by a beaded multicolored napkin ring

Sorry the color is washed out, but this is Sea Mist - a vintage greenish Fiesta color by Homer Laughlin.

Our version of a "Center(piece) Fold". Both lovely ladies sit on Yoga blocks (I have no idea what they are but Pat tells me she uses them.....)

When Richard Simmons came out with this doll, I knew it would be in my collection. I call her "Rose" after our Mother - she is an exact duplicate....even the hot pink swimsuit and flowery swimcap. Mom was always trying to lose weight.......she and Virginia took up swimming for a while.

One last look from the other end of the table

Metallic Purple Placemats - Pier 1 years ago (Pat had to have them - purple? I said. It's an old lady's color. She told me to look at my driver's license.)

Dinnerware - Vintage Sea Mist and Rose Fiesta by Homer Laughlin from anyplace we could find it (mostly eBay and Replacements)
Flatware - by Nobility from eBay
