Lenox "The Colonial" Table

This week's table is set with Lenox "The Colonial" dinnerware. It is a beautiful pattern of colorful flower swags and blue urns.

The gorgeous sterling flatware is "Grand Colonial" by Wallace Silver. Pat and I were given eight complete place settings by our Cousins Trev and Gary. How lucky is that????

Each of the raised dots was hand applied - can you image how much work went into every plate?

A lapis blue "Fiesta(ware)" Chop plate was used to add more color

Antique Gold Charger - from TJMaxx two years ago

Flatware - "Grand Colonial" Sterling Silver by Wallace gifted from our much loved dish addicted Cousins Trev and Gary

Red Floral Table

Carrying the same "flower" theme over from our other blog, Pat set this week's Table for One using a new accent plate from Pier 1.

The accent plate is one of four different flowers in a boxed set from Pier 1.

Pat chose "Napoleon Bee" flatware since the accent plate has a bee on it.

The dinner plate is "Sage Green" Fiesta(ware) by Homer Laughlin

Not one of Pat's favorites, the rustic looking charger seems like a natural for the place setting. She then topped it with a red Waechtersbach "Fun Factory" charger to add interest.

Matching the red charger, Pat used this Waechtersbach "Fun Factory" soup bowl. She placed it on a "Sage Green" Fiesta(ware) appetizer plate acting as a liner.

Winter Soup Table

Having two tablescaping blogs can be really fun - Pat continued a "soup" theme that she started on our other blog and set a totally different looking Table for One.

We are experiencing many warm days here along the coast in the Northern California. Pat couldn't help setting another "nautical" style table to celebrate.
