Claret and Cabbage Table

My neighbor is having a 2-day yard sale......I hate them but, before she knocked on my door this morning, Pat went over and bought a few things. Of course, she decided to use some of them on this week's table.

It took Pat less than 10 minutes to think up a tablescape and set the table using her yard sale finds 

Not only does it go well together colorwise, I love the idea of blending Claret (wine) and Cabbage as a theme.

Pat never liked the actual bread/butter plate in the cabbage pattern - so she always used a saucer

Stuff from the yard sale

Where it came from:
Charger, Luncheon Plate, Bread/Butter (Saucer) - "Cabbage" by Bordallo Pinheiro from various places (i.e. Replacements, eBay, TJMaxx)
Dinner Plate - "Claret" Fiesta(ware) by Homer Laughlin from Macy's last year
Flatware - "Treble Clef" by Gourmet Settings from Bed, Bath, and Beyond three years ago
Glassware - from the Dollar Store years ago (but currently available)
Candle Holders and Grapes/Leaves - from the Yard Sale

We will be joining the following Blog parties this week:
"Dishing It! & Digging It!" at Rustic & Refined this Sunday:  http://www.rustic-refined.com/
"Tablescape Thursday" at Between Naps on the Porch:  http://betweennapsontheporch.net/

Not exactly tablescaping stuff:

This is the actual Bread/Butter plate

Here is the Bread/Butter plate and the saucer side by side

Noritake Evening Majesty Table

With apologies and some shame, this week's table was set just to show off one of our single place settings. It's called "Evening Majesty" by Noritake and I think it is a gorgeous pattern. I have never really liked Noritake dinnerware (unlike Pat), but now I find many patterns that "make the heart beat" a little faster. (In all honesty, most dishes do that but that's another story for later.....)

Black flatware was used instead of gold to make the place setting show a bit more

See why my heart flutters when I look at this pattern????

Pat made the silk rose arrangement to match the colors of the flowers on the figurine's dress

Where it came from:
Gold Charger - from Pier 1 last year
Dinnerware - "Evening Majesty" by Noritake from eBay
Flatware - Unknown pattern by Jankng from eBay this year
Crackled Amber/Gold Glassware - from Pier 1 three years ago
Napkin Ring - Also from Pier 1 but about four years ago
Black Depression Glass (candle holders and fan vase) - a gift from our Cousins
Figurine - by Armani from our Mother's collection
