I can't believe August is already upon us, where, oh, where has the time gone. It is, also, time for another Tablescape Thursday with Susan of Between Naps On The Porch. Thank you for hosting this fun weekly meme...without a doubt, I would have no blog were it not for TT.

I have had this piece of material for some months, not knowing what to do with it. Well, when I found the lavender dinner plates, I just knew they would be a perfect match...well, what do you think? I keep wondering where all the lavender dishes were when I started my quest several months ago. I couldn't find anything in violet, lavender, lilac, mauve or puce...you name it nothing in any shade of purple. Lately I found more than a few pieces in different shades of purple.
The flowers are Naked Ladies (Amaryllis belladona) from the yard. The are a beautiful pink with lavender tinged petal tips. Most of my flowers have been really stressed from the heat this summer, even the indestructible coneflowers, which thrive on the sides of the highways, here in Kansas.
The dinner plates, which are being used as charger plates, are a solid color, have no markings on the underside, no idea who made them or their age, am guessing they are fairly new. They go perfect with the plates I used here.
The dinner plates are a creamy white, also no markings on the underside.
The little pink and yellow flowered salad plates are from Vienna, Austria.
The dessert plate is a nice shade of lavender and are made by, are you ready for this...Pyrex! I had no idea they made anything in lavender.
The water glass is a dark pink, unknown maker and the wine stem is Noritake Sweet Swirl, lavender.
The placesetting.
Layers.
Overall of the table.
I had to, not only set the table once, but three times and dry the tablecloth/napkins before I got the photos taken...one of the kitties kept knocking the flowers over and chewing on them! Every time I turned my back AJ was up on the table after the flowers!

So pretty. Love the Lavender and it is a hard color to find!! Love the Pyrex plates!
Your table is absolutely gorgeous. I love the layering of colors and how it all ties in with that gorgeous cloth. Thank you so much for sharing. It is really eye popping!!!
Oh how pretty...the colors are just gorgeous! I had no idea pyrex made plates!
Your table is the color of some of the sunsets we have here. I am laughing about your cat trying to nibble on your flowers. My cats do that too.
So Pretty.
I love the flowers. Those colors are so happy.

WOW... FUN colour... love it!
2Mimi, Thank you for the link to my Lady of The Lake. I had no idea. I never looked it up. It is just a special piece because my Grandmother gave it to me because I like blue. I am stunned. That was quite something to wake up to this morning!!!!
Apparently, your flowers are also quite tasty!! Very Pretty! Check Christmas Tree Shops (if you have one out there) or World Bazaar (I think that's what it's called) for purple stuff...I got all of mine at Christmas Tree Shops!
:D
Really pretty-looks so "ladies lunch" with wide brimmed hats and gloves.

I think your kitties would love my fish table this week! I need to find some candles like yours with the thinner base but wider top! And your colors are gorgeous. The creamy white dishes are perfect with the lavendar! Linda
Your table has inspired me to go look for something amethyst/lavendar for my table. This is really lovely. Thank you for sharing your charming design. Cherry Kay
OMG what a pretty table! I wish our thrift stores were as great at finds and $$ as where you go.
WOW- SCORE on those thrifty bargains! I love the lavander glass plates... what a steal!
Thanks for sharing!

What a feminine mix of pinks and purples. I really love the purples too and they are hard to find. Your linens are gorgeous and they really pull it all together.
I love this! The fabric was your inspiration for this lovely lavender table. Love the plates and how everything works together. My TT post was about a piece of fabric too. Sometimes that's all we need to inspire our creativity. Fabric!
What a fun and cheerful table, Mimi.
Such a beautiful color scheme...I can't imagine finding all those great colors!!! It is a beautiful tablescape!!!
Hey Girl I love your table and specially the solid lavender plates. What a find. Your right I don't see much lavender around and when I do it really catches my eye. Great table.

My sister and I were just commenting about how beautiful a table done with shades of purple is.
Those lavender plates are a beautiful shade! I love how you pulled it out of the fabric!
G'day ~ This is my first visit & your table decor & settings are gorgeous. I love the lavender touches.
Have a lovely summer's day ~

3 times!! Oh, my! The dish colors are just beautiful on the lovely cloth. I love the layering that you did. Your search for purple/lavender dishes was well worth it. You found some treasures!
Stunning color pairings. I love the tablecloth, too! Just fantastic all the way around - as always a delight and an inspiring visit! Cheers! Artie
Beautiful table! I love the colors.
Mimi, This color is gorgeous! I own absolutely nothing in this colorway, and I think I now need something! The tablecloth fabric is so pretty and all your layering in the plates really paid off. Thank you so much for your visit.

I love those colors! The tablecloth is very pretty! Is the cat still alive after knocking over the vase so many times! LOL!

Good job cooling off August in Texas with your lovely colors.
You can always get my attention with lavender! This is a lovely table with a great floral theme. Kitties always want to be naughty, they think they should be the center of your attention.
Very pretty. All of your tablescapes are gorgeous. I could take lessons from you. lol
Thanks for stopping by my blog!
