Bee Table for One

A few years ago, I found a plate at the Discovery Shop (the Cancer Society's Thrift Store) that I just had to have. I don't know why - I just fell in love with it. I brought it home thinking how pretty it would look on a table. And then it sat on a shelf. Well, Pat pulled it out yesterday and decided to use it. Here is what she came up with:

Pat chose gold flatware to bring out the gold in the accent plate

Pat wrapped this gold beaded napkin around a black napkin

Silk roses - although Pat grows gorgeous roses....well, used to grow....before the drought, 

Part of our black Depressionware collection that was given to us by our wonderful cousin

Where it came from:

Black Dinner Plate - "Fun Factory" by Waechtersbach from Replacements
Bee Accent Plate - by "Tim Coffey" of CreativeCo-Op from the Discovery Shop
