What a Cheery Combo!

This week my inspiration came from thrifted napkins and placemats. When I saw some of my favorite colors all together I just had to buy them. There are no tags, so don't know who made them. I love these colors together, they make me smile each time I walk by the table.

To the green chargers I added Hedge Rose by Wedgwood dinner plates, then Wood & Sons Gay Day cream soup bowls to hold the salad. The underplate is just an unmarked bread/butter plate I have had for ages. We don't have many meals without a chopped salad.

The glassware is Indiana Cubist iced tea and a Mexican blown wine stem. Both were purchased at Goodwill.

I am, again, using Oneida Afterglow sterling, which belonged to my late mother-in-law. We use this most of the time for meals.

The green metal candleholders and pale green candles are from Goodwill 75¢ each, the candles only 49¢ each.

The yellow and orange alstroemeria are in an old coffee carafe.

Green With A Hint Of Blue

This week I wanted to do something with quite a bit of green, which is my favorite color. I wasn't sure if I should put another color with it or not...in the end, decided on a tiny bit of blue...so it is sort of monochromatic.

I started with a ruffled green placemat, green and blue plaid napkins and green beaded napkin rings.

The only solid green plates I own are some I found at TJMaxx a few years ago. They don't have a specific name, just a B in a shield.

To the dinner and salad plates I have added blue and white cream soup bowls. The soup bowls were an eBay purchase...$9.99 for six! They are Wood & Sons, Burslem, England Gay Day. I am not sure when they were made, but have been told the early 1900's. Unfortunately there were no underplates for the bowls...but that won't stop me from using them!

The sterling flatware is my favorite pattern, Frontenac, circa 1903-1974, made by International. It has the most beautiful lilies on the handles with intertwined vines. Most of the pieces I have are the early pieces some with monograms.

The green glassware is from thrift stores, of course.

The centerpiece bowl is also from the thrift store. It has no markings on the underside, but I think it is probably a fairly old piece of ironstone. Again this week I waffled on candlesticks...first I used white, then decided to use green...so you will see photos of both. Yes, they are thrift store finds, too. I like the table best with the green candlesticks.

Placesetting.

The pretty rims.

My green table with a touch of blue!
