Bordallo Pinheiro Leaf Plate Table

The Bordallo Pinheiro Leaf pattern is not as well known as the very popular "Cabbage" pattern, but it makes for a fun table or sometimes interesting accent pieces.


Flatware is "Montana" by Gourmet Settings





The "Faux" leather place mat from Pier 1 is reversible


Pat's favorite inexpensive glassware - from the Dollar Tree

Pat made an simple arrangement of small artificial gourds in a matching bowl

Lenox Essex Table

Since our cousin Trev was here setting the table for our other blog (The Welcomed Guest - (Here)), he put together the Table for One. (Pat is out of town, so Trev generously "volunteered" to help out while she is gone.) He pulled some of our dishes and one of his and came up with this:
The dinnerware pattern is Maroon "Essex" by Lenox.





This is an "Essex" Service Plate.- from Trev's collection


The charger is "Mansfield" by Lenox


The thin, gold trim of the goblets (from Pier 1 two years ago) goes well with the dinnerware


Like Pat does often, Trev used Wedgwood "Edme" pieces because the color goes well with Lenox


Another one of our Mother's Armani figurines


Where it came from:
Charger - "Mansfield" by Lenox from Pat's daughter (she loaned eight of them to us several years ago and well, we still have them. Our bad.....)
Dinner Plate - "Essex"  Service plate by Lenox from Trev's collection (He bought 12 of them several years ago in Los Angles.)
Salad Plate and Bread/Butter Plate - also Maroon "Essex" by Lenox from our collection
Flatware - pattern unknown from eBay
Glassware - from Pier 1 two years ago
Vase, Candle Holders, and Salt and Pepper Shakers - "Edme" by Wedgwood from our collection
Silk Antique Roses - from Michael's
Figurine - by Armani from our Mother
