Rosie's Birthday Table

Pat wanted to set a table to brighten up a very gloomy, dark and wet day. It's noon and every light is on in the house. (I'll turn most of them off as soon as we finish setting the table.....I'm cheap.) Rain is coming down and it is suppose to continue until tomorrow. So - she decided to celebrate one of my dachshund's big day - we don't really know the actually birthday since all of my dogs were/are rescued but I picked a date when I got them and celebrate each one's "special" day. So, Happy Birthday, Rosie even if the table is for a human.

I have always loved this dinnerware - "Dachshund" by the Danbury Mint

Flatware is "Twist" by Gourmet Settings

The salad plate comes in four different dachshunds

The charger is "Colonial Blue" Color Spectrum by Mikasa

Glassware is our "fallback" favorite - from the Dollar Tree

Pat used a red "dog collar" napkin ring to carry through with the doggy theme - we found the dark charcoal gray napkin on the sale shelf at Pier 1 two or three week's ago. We bought all eight of them.

Easy and very fun table decoration - Pat used a fire hydrant and "Sandicast" dachshunds

Where it came from:
Black Wicker Place Mat - from Pier 1 years ago
Charger - "Colonial Blue" Color Spectrum by Mikasa from eBay
Dinnerware - "Dachshund" by Danbury Mint - a gift from a Friend several years ago
Flatware - "Twist" by Gourmet Settings from Bed, Bath, and Beyond three years ago
Glassware - from the Dollar Tree (still available)
Napkin - from Pier 1 this season
Dog Collar Napkin Ring - from eBay
Dachshund figurines - by "Sandicast, Inc." from the Hallmark Store years ago
Fire Hydrant - from "Toscano" mail order five or six years ago
