Woodfield by Steubenville Table for One

I love the pattern "Woodfield" by Steubenville Potteries. I would love to have dozens of place settings in all five colors if I could. The pattern was produced in the 1940's and is not considered very collectible. I don't care. I love it. And when I found a complete place setting on eBay for a very reasonable price - even if the color was salmon - I jumped at the chance to get it.

So, next I had to talk Pat into using it on the "Table for One." Yes, the color is.....dare I say, ugly? But the pattern is so unique. And think of the challenge to come up with a tablescape using it???? Finally, she gave in - especially, since I left it in plain site for weeks to remind her every time she came over. I wore her down.....

Over view of the table. Pat started with a burlap tabletop to give it a rustic, Autumn feel.

Yes, this looks pink - but I have to be honest, it is a very homely salmon color in person.

Pat used "Treble Clef" by Gourmet Settings for flatware

Don't all serious tablescapers have the Dollar Store "Green" glassware?

Still looks pink here.....

This is closer to the actual color

Completely out of Pat's comfort zone, she chose this glitzy napkin ring from Pier 1

Pat found this handcrafted basket given to me as a gift years ago and turned it into the centerpiece

One last look

Pat couldn't stand it any longer.....she replaced the beautiful "Woodfield" with a couple of other patterns just to see what it would look like.

Here is the highly recognizable "Friendly Village" by Johnson Brothers - yes, predictable, but "comfortable" for Pat

I love this choice that Pat made - highly personal - the china belonged to our Mother and was used for "company" when we were young. It is "September Song" by Sango. Not expensive. Not collectible. And not even very serviceable. But it has so very many memories......I treasure it.
