A couple weeks ago when I was in Savers I found these really pretty aqua 12" dinner plates. They caught my eye being aqua and then I noticed the rooster so I knew immediately they would be going home with me. They were $3.99 for 4, but I was there on senior day so got 25% off. I noticed they has a couple small chips on the rim, but was sure I had some craft paint the same color. As large as they are, they will always be used as chargers, so there was no fear of food touching the paint. Can you see where I touched them up...I didn't think so!
I started with green woven place mats, added the aqua charger, then a green plate and finally the white, blue and green Valencia cream soups, that are used for salads more than anything.
The aqua hemstitched napkin is held with a tiny flower pot that I painted with the same touch up paint I used on the charger...and the candle holders!
The centerpiece is a painted wooden compote holding 4 large egg cups in off white and teal. The bottom says made in England, no maker or pattern. They came with white inserts...the eggs must be huge in England because even jumbo eggs fall to the bottom of the cups! I may sue them for pudding/mousse desserts instead of eggs.
Sorry for the quality of some pictures, it was raining and really dark when I took some.
