It is once again time for Tablescape Thursday at Between Naps On The Porch. Thanks for hosting this weekly meme, Susan.
Another week of relentless heat and humidity in the center of the country. I am looking forward to cooler weather, but can't seem to find any on the horizon!
This table was built around salad plates I bought about 4 years ago. I had stuffed them in the bottom of one of the hutches and completely forgot about them until switched the dining and living rooms around. In fact, I found a few other treasures I had forgotten about. Each plate is a different color with a different rooster.
I have once again used the banana bark place mats. The charger plates are my favorites with roosters; a gift from my sister, Jerry. The white dinner plate is unmarked, almost identical to the Johnson Brothers I have.
The salad plates are Sakura Retro Rooster. The red plate beneath the Kennex Preston soup bowl are made by Syracuse.
The rim shot!
The flatware is Oneida Sterling Afterglow, circa 1956. The napkins and napkin rings are yard sale finds.
I pulled out the only yellow glassware I own. The wine glass is Indiana's King Crown/Thumbprint. The water glass, I don't know the maker.
I found the wood centerpiece at Savers the last time I was there and thought it might make a nice "vase"...with a glass insert. The wood candlesticks I have had for many years, I think they came from Dollar General. The Limelight hydrangeas are from the back yard...thankfully they haven't burnt to a crisp like the pink ones have.
The rooster pitcher has been in my collection for about 10 years. I found it locally at a little store that is no longer in business.
This is probably the last table for a few weeks, as I will be going to Vermont to visit my siblings. Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog and leave a comment. I hope to see you back here when I get home from vacation.
