I have been going to do this table for a couple of weeks, but just didn't get around. I saw some corn plates on a blog (forgot which one, of course). I really didn't know there were corn plates out there, but shouldn't be surprised. I hopped on eBay and found some little ones. I have added them to my corn collection. The corn harvest has just ended in my area...of course, I didn't have my camera with me when we passed by the big green and yellow farm machinery hard at work in the fields.
I started building the table with green square placemats after selecting the dishes.
The napkins are a solid yellow held with a green napkin ring. I thought the perfect flatware would be the vintage, circa early 1970's, yellow handled Oxford Hall Fashion Wear flatware I found at Saver's couple months ago. I just love the chunkiness of the handles!
The pale yellow dinner plate is topped with an apple green salad plate. At the top of the meager stack is a small corn plate. The corn plates are made by Terrace Ceramics, Marietta, Ohio (one of the plates still had the maker's sticker on it). I believe they were from the 1950's and 1960's.
I debated on whether to use yellow or green glassware...felt the yellow would fade into the table so pulled out green Artland bubble glass.
Other pieces of my collection that I have used on the table are someone's vintage ceramic covered dish casserole, salt/pepper set, candle holder and small pitcher. I have several other pieces, but the table just isn't big enough!
Thank you for taking the time to visit today. I enjoy hearing from everyone. Have a wonderful week...
I will be joining Let's Dish/Cuisine Kathleen.

OMG! Your table is so cheery! I just love the yellow and green.....you never cease to amaze me with your creativity...

What a bright, snazzy table this week. Love the contrast of the bare (wood) table with the setting. You sure have an eye for what looks/goes good together. An eye-catcher for sure.

Marigene, this is such a fun table. If I walked into your home and saw this table, I would say my favorite word. OMG. LOL
How cute!!! I love your corn table!! The green and yellow do remind me of the big farm equipment I see in the corn fields around my area. You put together a fabulous fun table!
Oh Marigene, this is one of my favorite tables of yours. I love the corn theme and what a collection you have. The green and yellow is so cheerful together. The tureen is a gorgeous piece, too.
What a lovely table you've set! So very perfect for the harvest season.

Now I'm craving some corn on the cob Marigene LOL! I love how simple yet colorful, even with really just two colors, your table is!

You have a wonderful collection Marigene. I love the woven grass look of the place mat with the corn dishes. Perfect choice!
Always fun to see a collection grow! Your table is fun. I'd love to dine here!
Hi, Marigene. I saw your comment at Diane's (Confessions of the Obsessed) and came right over, because I haven't connected with you for quite a while. Boy, am I glad I did...I've had a corn table in the works for two years now--even have pictures of the corn growing, and just haven't been able to get around to it. Yours turned out great.I don't have the plates, but I have other pieces to work with, then I'll be selling them, but I really want to do a table first. I can't believe the flatware--it's absolutely perfect for this table...now I want some too! They remind me of the yellow corn holders. Perfect! ~Zuni
Marigene, I love these bright colors and the corn theme. What a wonderful covered casserole. It makes the perfect centerpiece. Your new plates are great with your existing collection. laurie

Marigene,
Love this harvest inspired tablescape!!!
You have some beautiful vintae pieces within your tablescape!
At first glance, I thought you had turned the rectangular placemat. . .love the use of the square mat in this setting!!!
Thanks for sharing!
Fondly,
Pat
Great tablescape....I feel bad now that I had a wonderful collection of Fitz and Floyd corn ceramics that were fabulous and for some strange reason I sold it all on E-bay years ago....I think I might have one or two pieces left...And I had gotten it all for cheap at one of their warehouse sales...such a dope :)
Great inspiration for the harvest season. Your corn plates are a great addition to your corn collection. You have several unique pices such as the casserole for your centerpiece. Nice find on the flatware too. Take care.
Absolutely gorgeous!
Love this table Marigene. I don't get to visit blogs as much as I use to. Glad I got to see this happy post.
This post really made me smile (and lust after EVERYTHING!) What a fantastic collection of corn-related things you have here. Fun!
What a great harvest of corn Marigene! You have quite the corny collection! It is all so bright and fresh, you can almost taste fresh summer corn. Love that tureen and the square place mats!

Delightful! The green bubble glass goblets are lovely, and I adore the new corn plates. Thanks for inviting us for a peak. Cherry Kay
This is gorgeous, and those corn plates are great additions. But that casserole dish is the star...love it!
