Brown Bunny Easter Table for One

Since last week's table was quite formal, Pat decided to go in the opposite direction this week. She set the table using an "extra" plate from a set of recently purchased accent dishware (that she plans to use in the future.) Everything else on the table has been around for a while and been used at various times on the table in the past. Here's the "new" table:

The table

Flatware is Gold "Sophia" from Tuesday Morning

The dinner plate is Ivory Fiesta by Homer Laughlin.

The Colonial Blue "Color Spectrum" charger is by Mikasa

One of my favorite sets of glassware - "Reflections" by the Imperial Glass Company

The acrylic napkin ring does double duty - it is also a salt and pepper shaker when filled

Pat always grabs one of the "Lady Diamond" water tumblers to use as a fancy vase - it is the perfect size.

Where it came from:
Woven Vinyl Yellow Placemat - "Bistro" from Bed, Bath, and Beyond
Blue Charger - Colonial Blue "Color Spectrum" by Mikasa from eBay
Dinner Plate - "Ivory" Fiesta by Homer Laughlin from Macy's

Formal Easter Breakfast Table for One

This week's table uses one of my favorite dish patterns that I own - Lenox Blue Frost. Pat added some of her husband's family heirloom silver to give it a "breakfast" look and to make anyone dining alone feel special. I think it is fabulous.

The table - dinnerware is "Blue Frost" by Lenox

The flatware is so delicate - "Marguerite" by Gorham Silver Company

There is no way that I would wash this pattern in a dishwasher. It has a very soft blue, matte finish to the edge and a platinum trim. I can just imagine it going through the "wash cycle" a few times......disaster.

I treasure this etched water goblet - it was a gift from a friend who said it belonged to her late Aunt. Unfortunately, she does not know the pattern name

Where it came from:
Silver Charger - from Tuesday Morning
Dinnerware - "Blue Frost" by Lenox from the internet (currently available)
Flatware - "Marguerite" by Gorham Silver from Pat's collection
Tea Service - pattern unknown - from Pat's collection
Water Goblet - pattern unknown - a gift to me from a dear friend
Champagne Glass - "Bubbles" by Maxwell & Williams from Tuesday Morning
Bunnies - from our collection
Silver Candle - from Ross
