Another Vera Neumann!


A few weeks ago, my friend Lynne sent me a beautiful Vera tablecloth set. She said she had bought it at a thrift stores years ago and had thought to make a dress for her granddaughter, but decided it would be a waste...Thank you again, Lynne!

I had a couple ideas how I would use this, but ended up with something totally different than where I was headed. Next time I will use dishes to pull the brick red and blue from the fabric.



The place setting begins with woven chargers, to which I have layered an over-sized dinner plate as a charger. The next layers are a white dinner plate, gold salad plate, white saucer and a cream soup bowl.



The flatware is, once again, Oneida Louisiana. I really, really like this set...like you couldn't figure that out!


The glassware is an amber Colony Whitehall  iced tea. 


I forgot to get flowers for the centerpiece when I was out doing errand, so I am just using a yellow ceramic bread basket!




Thanks for taking the time to visit today...I really appreciate each comment left. Do come back the next time.
