Winter Blue and Green Tablescape

Pat chose an informal table in blue and green for this week's blog using lots of "stuff" that we have purchased from our local Pier 1 over the years. (We are still feeling quite melancholy about the coming loss of our store in the near future....so Pat just wanted to use some of their dinnerware.)

Pat found the flatware at an out of town Tuesday Morning years ago

The accent plate mixes with lots of different colored dinner plates

We found the dinner plates ("Essential Colours") at Pier 1 at least ten years ago

From Pier 1, naturally, a few years ago

The goblets are "Diamond Point" by Indiana Glass Company

Another Pier 1 purchase a couple of years ago.....you can see why we are going to miss our local store.....

Valentine's Day Tablescape

We couldn't let Cupid's holiday pass without setting a tablet to acknowledge his day of romance (or if you are slightly jaded, to acknowledge another day of vast commercialism whereby Americans spend billions of dollars on cards, candy, and jewelry......) Here is Pat's table:
