Schumann Wild Rose Lunch

Undoubtedly, my favorite pattern of all time is Schumann's "Wild Rose." It was the dinnerware I chose more than forty years ago as my "good" Wedding china. I still love it. It's over-the-top gaudy and sad to admit, to many people, not something that they would want to own. But to me, it is lovely. So, I was thrilled when Pat grabbed several pieces around my house and started to set the Table for One.

Normally, when we use this pattern, Pat sets the table with a very light pink napkin. This time she went with hot pink to add a little whimsy.

Flatware is "Byzantine" by Yamazaki

For a less traditional touch, Pat used Noritake's pink "Entrée" glassware

Next to impossible to find, I only own two napkin rings but I am persistent! It took me over thirty years to find the soup tureen in this pattern.....

Where it came from:
Gold Lame Tablecloth - Ross years ago

Simple Fiesta (ware) and Lenox Luncheon Table

Although it sounds somewhat strange, Pat mixed a beautiful bone china "Mystic" salad plate by Lenox with "Rose" Fiesta(ware) for this week's luncheon table.

Somehow the colors work well.....

The flatware is becoming one of my favorites - "Broadway" from Hampton Forge.
