Fun Gnome Table

What could be more fun than to have lunch with a gnome? Obviously Pat thought so as she set this week's Table For One.....

Flatware is by Noritake - I bought my first set forty years ago in brown. I really liked it then and I still like it. Together, Pat and I now have the pattern in six different colors.

Sorry the picture is so bad - this is the newer "Cobalt" Fiesta(ware) by Homer Laughlin. The vintage "Cobalt" (from 1936 through 1951) is somewhat lighter and brighter

Pat wanted to use the matching Gnome bowl so she made a candle holder out of it

Where it came from:
Round Place Mat - from Pier 1 several years ago
