Blue and Red Tablescape

Pat found the inspiration dinner plates for this week's table on the top shelf - way in the back - of my cupboard. She climbed the ladder, pulled them out, and within ten minutes, had the table done. (Me? I just watched.....I never could figure out what to do with them - nothing ever looked good, so the dishes always sat there.)

Pat chose blue "Reflections" glassware by Imperial Glass Company

The stainless steel Dungeness napkin ring holds a bright red hand-made napkin

This charming figurine is Normal Rockwell's "Captain" by Gorham taken from the August 19,1922 Saturday Evening Post cover

Nautical looking vase and votive holders are from Michael's

  3. I like how the plates look a little wavy - it adds to your nautical look. I'm glad you pulled them out of the back of your cupboard for us!
