Is purple just for royalty...I hardly think so, as it is on my table this week! I have been trying, for awhile now, to find enough dishes to do a purple table. I have had a hard time finding anything in purple that I thought I could live with, but think there is enough here to do a decent tablescape.
The table before the flowers were cut.
Placesetting.
Plum dinner plate used as a charger plate.

Close-up of pattern.
Two shades of purple/lavender stemware.
Layered pieces.
Flowers from my yard...the day lilies are about done, these are the end of the season scrawny ones...a week or so ago, they were huge. I have also used the gooseneck loosestrife, again, purple coneflowers, lavender buddleia, white coneflowers, beebalm, and something dark magenta, can't remember the name of it, but when cut it has a strong onion smell, so it is probably in the allium family, but really small.
Dinner plate/charger-TAG Sonoma plum

Very nice, like to seee all your new treasures. Makes me want to go garage saleing--but to hot now. Keep up the good work.S
Pretty! You know I love purple, and those glasses are wonderful.
The flowers look so pretty too!
Great job, M!
Spectacular flowers! How lovely to know they're from your yard! The dishes are layered beautifully, and I love the two shades of purple stemware. Very appealing!
Beautiful pattern on those dinner plates and you have picked up so many lovely colors out of it. Wonderful table and gorgeous flowers!
That's a lovely table. I like the purple. In fact our guest bedroom is done in khaki and purple! Linda
love it! your tablescapes are the BEST! Randa
If purple is for royalty, I'm in BIG trouble!! I have purple goblets from Christmas tree shops that go with my fruited plates from the dollar store!!!
Nice tablescape! :)
Tuesday is the highlight of my week when I see your wonderful tabelescapes. I am a big fan of purple and lavender and my room growing up was painted in lavender. Love from Vermont. Brenda
There is just something about a purple table! I love all the layers of dishes! So beautiful. The flowers from your yard make the most stunning arrangement! You must have fabulous gardens.

Another beautiful table setting. I know purple/lavender is one of your favorite colors and I know that lately you've been looking for just the right finishing touches to set a table with those colors. It came out beautifully....the flowers really top it off.

You have the prettiest tablescapes week after week. I am loving your purple dishes and stemware and the flatware is beautiful. Love the floral arrangement, too!

Oh, my favorite color!! I love this....of course! LOL. I have almost NO purple dishes or glassware. I keep looking and I WILL find some!!
I found a new white ironstone turneen but, when the woman wrapped it up she dropped the lid and ladel!! I let out such a loud "Oh No!!" that everyone at the yard sale turned around and looked at us! She gave me back my money but told me to keep the bowl. I will show it next week but, I am so sad. I think I will use it for just a bowl. But, I am still looking for ya! Like purple dishes, this has become a mission of mine! LOL
Your suggestion about Marble on top of sewing machine stand is exactly what my husband said. I never would have thought marble but am now. Of course your dishes are fabulous but the best part, your flowers fresh from your yard. Lovely.
Thanks for visiting our little blog!
The bird pictures is actually an oil painting! Not to brag because I did not paint it.. But isn't it beautiful! I am now the proud momma of this great painting!
Your place setting is just beautiful! I wish I had fancy company to have a fancy dinner with a fancy place setting as yours! Anyone besides my husband's buds!
These are beautiful pieces! I just love the rich color!! Thank you for the comment on my blog! I believe the bowl is made out of resin. It's pretty heavy! I can't wait to check out your blog! I'm going to be your newest follower and I'd love for you to do the same! Visit again soon! :D

what a beautiful combination you put together. It was so worth the effort.
Such deep, rich, intense colors...very royal in appearance!
Your flowers are truly the show piece, though. Outstanding!!
You must have a green thumb. :-)
How very pretty your purples are. I'm sure your dinner guests would feel like royalty at this pretty table.
This is soooo pretty and different...love the glasses and ADORE your silver flatware!!!
You did such a lovely job with the flowers. They certainly don't look like they are at the end of the season. I love the shades of purple. TT is tempting me to all sorts of things that I haven't had before - including purple!
Mimi, your table looks so nice. The purple is a pretty color and I love the china pattern on the deep purple charger. That looks really royal. Everything is nice and your lovely flowers decorate so nicely the whole table.
Greetings, Johanna
This is an elegant tablescape and I really do like the purple!
Mimi,
I always love seeing your beautiful pieces...you have quite the collection. I particularly love both sets of glasses on today's table. I look forward to seeing what else you have in that extremely Large china cabinet. :>
I love purple and your table is so pretty. I especially like the dinner plates!..Christine
Love the purple! You arranged a pretty centerpiece. I do not have anything purple for a tablescape, but I enjoyed your's today. Keep your flag-a-wavin'...Joan
With a name like Purple Chocolat Home you know I must love purple. Your stemware and plates are just lovely. I can't believe your daylilies. The colors is exquisite. I only have yellow and orange and have never seen any that unique color. Lovely.
Hi Mimi
Love your pretty purple glasses!
Hugs
Charo
Lovely table of purples. Your flowers are beautiful , too.

Just a downright classy tablescape!
NO if's, and's or but's! Lovely and says "this is a special evening!" I love it!
Hi Mimi, I love your purple table - it's such a dramatic colour, don't you think!! You are very clever having all those pretty flowers to pick from your garden.
Suzyq
Your table is so purple! Love it! Your flowers set the whole table off! Very pretty! Thank you.
I love purple! The flowers are spectacular!!

I love the purple and your table looks great. Happy Fourth!
Pretty dinner plates and like how you layered them with the purple. Pretty stemware too and your floral bouquet is beautiful!
blessings, Beth
This purple table is aubgerine amazing!!! I love this richness of it and those flowers....just divine, truly divine!!!! You put everything together great as always!
Hugs, Lana
I love the color. I've been resisting collecting plum, violet, purple or whatever it is called. This table is truly an inspiration. So elegant and inviting.
Very regal! You've coordinated everything perfectly, and your flower arrangement is lovely. Your Salem dishes look very similar to some I have, Epiag Pastelle.
Hope you and yours have a happy 4th!
Regards,
Bill
The bowls are my favorite in this setting. Love everything you've done. Even the flowers are beautiful!
Who wouldn't feel like royalty sitting at your table?!

Mimi- thanks so much for finding the name of my silver pattern and for visiting! I love the purple that you used- and as children of God, we are all royalty!!! Have a good weekend! Love, ~Nana~
Beautiful table! I love your floral centerpiece. My daylilies are just about gone too.I hate to see the end of them. Love your Hazel Atlas also. I love purple, but have nothing as far as dinnerware. Would go nicely with green. Thanks for stopping by! I have told my mom how many people are loving her glassware!
I love all the shades of purple on your beautiful tablescape! Fantastic!
Dee Dee
Lovely table setting. The pattern on your dinner plates is darling, and I like the plate and bowl. Your flower arrangement is gorgeous; the three in the front are my favorites.
Very pretty tablescape and glassware.
Thanks so much for stopping by my little blog and leaving just kind words! I love your amethyst plates and goblets!
Smiles from Texas!
Change that to SUCH kind words...not JUST kind words! Still need more coffee this am!
Smiles!

Love all your hues of purple and no it is not just for Royalty!!! Your flower arrangement is sooo beautiful. You are so lucky to have a wonderful variety of flowers to cut from. Lovin' the layerin' effect of all of your dishes. Happy 4th to you and yours. Thanks for sharing and stopping by!
Hi Mimi! I've been out of town and I'm running to catchup! lol I love the purple...so elegant! And your flowers are just gorgeous! I'm tickled to hear that you found some Red Cliff! You;ll soon be addicted like me! Have a great 4th!...hugs...Debbie
