Spode Gainsborough Spring Table

Since our other blog is set in celebration of the end to the four-year-long drought, Pat decided to set the Table for One with the same theme. She used one of our single place settings with lots of flowers as the inspiration.

The dinnerware pattern is "Gainsborough" by Spode

The charger is actually a beautiful dusty rose (but it was dark and pouring down rain when I took the picture).

Where it came from:
Charger - "Rose Blush" Color Spectrum by Mikasa from eBay
Dinnerware - "Gainsborough" by Spode from our collection
Flatware - "Marguerite" by Gorham from Pat's husband
Dusty Rose Damask Napkin - from Gottschalk's (a local department store now our of business)
Silver Napkin Ring - from Tuesday Morning two or three years ago
Water Goblet - Pattern unknown but it was a gift from a friend
Champagne Glass - from the Dollar Store
Candle Holders - from Art & Old Things (a local antique store)
Jam/Honey Jar - from Princess House years ago

Here's a few sample settings that go well with the color theme:

The pattern is "Rose Chintz" by Johnson Brothers

The pattern is "Wild Rose" by Schumann

The pattern is "Versailles" by Lenox

The pattern is "Pembroke" by Aynsley

The pattern is "Tower" by Spode

The pattern is "The Lombardy" by Johnson Brothers
