I will be joining Tablescape Thursday at
Between Naps On The Porch. Thank you, Susan, for hosting my favorite weekly meme. For more inspiration on setting your own table, click on the link, you will find more than you could imagine!
I have had the dinner plates for ages and thought it was time to use them in a tablescape...I guess you could call that my inspiration this week.
I started with a lace tablecloth that was given to me by a very special person in December. It is quite old and I believe hand made. It is gorgeous, not sure the camera has done it justice. I have over 50 tablecloths, but this is by far my favorite. I thank that special person for thinking of me.
This photo shows the flowers that were hand stitched onto each small square.
The dinner plate on top of the woven charger is made by Oxford (Brazil), the pattern is still a mystery to me. The floral patterned center and rim are a dark brown; the background is a cream color. This pattern also comes in blue.
The salad plate is made by Sterling, again the pattern is unknown. It is vitrified china.
The soup bowl is Amici, the pattern is
Gallo Bello. These were purchased at Tuesday Morning a few years ago.
A shot of the stacked dishes.
The glassware is some I used a few weeks ago, a really nice shade of brown...no amber tint at all.
The linen napkins are a thrift store find. I have to thank Linda of
A Toile Tale, for the flatware...I commented how much I liked her green flatware from World Market and wondered if they still had it. She e-mailed me that it was a recent purchase, so I went Saturday and not only got the green, but the champagne, too. Thank you again, Linda!
The centerpiece is a cream pitcher with faux tulips and a weed that used to be used to clean cotton, the name of it escapes me, at the moment; and a wooden rooster that I have had for about 10 years. No candles were used as this was a luncheon table.
* My friend came to the rescue, the name of the plant is Common Teasel...thank you, Daisy!

Thank you for taking the time to visit me today...hope that you will visit each week.

Love the country feel to your tablescape. The brown glasses and the roaster soup bowls are sweet...love them! Your table looks wonderful.
Beautifull. Something to crow about. I always felt anxious when eating on table cloths like yours. Spills are not easy to remove.

Very pretty!! I like it a lot!!
Well I thought this was very, very well done. Mealtimes for us are lots more casual, so I really enjoy looking at your pretty settings. Hugs, Ilene
Marigene,
Lovely tablescape! Each layer unfolds adding interest in texture and refining elements. Roosters aren't my decor of choice, but I could easily replace him with my bunnies. The brown glasses and the flatware are gorgeous! Your tablecloth is exquisite. Do you ever wonder who might have made this lovely tablecloth?
Fondly,
Pat

Blessings Mr Friend,
What a lovely and comfortable table. Those Gallo Bello bowls just pull it all together. Isn't it fun to pull out plates that you have had forever and find a great table to put them on. Your centerpiece just finishes it off. so fun. Thanks for your visit. I really appreciate it.
Love the mix of earth tones with the bright yellow flowers. Very pretty.
I love this game :)

Thank you for your visit today. Your tablecloth is stunning. Love the place setting with the browns and white. I think the thrifted napkins and the Rooster centerpiece are a great touch. Nice job.
Hugs, Jeanne
Every one of your tables shows what fun you have finding that special thing to work with. What I love about your finished tables is that they seem so real. I like that!
Your table has such a Spanish look to it! A little bit of Europe feels good to me as I'm a long way from home these days.

Lace is always nice on a table! Brow so down to earth, good. MB
Marigene, your tablecloth is lovely! I have a rectangular doily with the same pattern and love it. It belonged to either my grandmother or great-grandmother. Your new flatware is wonderful, and I guess I'm lucky that we don't have a World Market ;o) I'd be heading there today! Love the brown goblets.
Hi lovely lady.

ps, I have had the plates for awhile now...I don't remember where they are from..try googling 'toile bunny plates' also try replacements for china and even ebay may have them!! good luck
The tablecloth is amazing....I enlarged the photo and really looked at the detail....Wow...how much time would it take to make that work of art!!! I adore brown and white dishes as I grew up with Bow Bells by Mason Ironstone china for everyday use.....my mom still uses it and laughingly it still looks good after very many years of use. The contrast of the brown and white is such a good look!! And I really do like your chocolate brown stems....do not see that very often. ....beautiful table and thanks for your very nice comments...hugs, Phyllis
What a pretty table! Lovin' your special tablecloth and the brown glasses are just beautiful-enjoy:@)
What a great combination! The browns look wonderful..I had glasses just like those (Noritake). I like the pattern you chose to go under the rooster dishes, very cute! The silverware was a nice grab, I wish I had one of those stores around! Maybe it's good that I don't! I'd be buying more and more goodies! Thx for coming by my blog! liz
This table is beautiful and elegant and speaks of heritage. Just lovely.
Oh I adore your rooster tablescape~ swoon!
I am currently hosting an auction of vintage and antique linen treasures on my blog. Stop by and take a peek.
Have a wonderful weekend.
I love roosters so you got me there! I also love the brown & white plates and the unusual brown goblets! I have to confess, I'm not a big fan of lace tablecloths but it really does look nice here.
Has anybody EVER left negative feedback? or just maybe un-flattering feedback? Everyone's always so nice!
Lynne
I love your lace tablecloth, flatware and pretty dishes.
Thanks for visiting me!
What beautiful lace you have! We are in mourning today for the loss of our beloved KU :( , and know you are too! Have a blessed week. Sandi
Pretty tablescape and that tablecloth is a real beauty!
The lace is absolutely beautiful and hand made, wow!
I love the way your dishes look stacked together. The color of your dishes go so well with the lace underneath. It all comes together so pretty.
