Pink Depression Glass and Epiag Table

Taking a cue from our other blog this week, Pat set the Table for One using her new thrift store find dinnerware. (She got twelve complete place settings in addition to a treasure trove of assorted pieces.) She wanted to challenge herself to see if she could use the place setting in a different way so she mixed it up a bit and added pink Depression Glass - definitely making it more feminine.......

Pat created a totally different look from our other table by using pink Depression glass. She added an "American Sweetheart" salver (using it as a charger) and sherbet with liner to give the place setting more interest. Pink footed tumblers add more color.

Flatware is the very sweet "April" silverplate by International Silver

No matter what I did, I could not get a good picture of the salver.

Where it came from:
Dinnerware - "Moloya" by Epiag from the Discovery Shop (the local Cancer Society's thrift store)
Silverplate Flatware - "April" by International Silver from Pat's collection
Pink Footed Tumbler Glassware - by Tiffin (pattern unknown) from our collection
Pink Salver and Sherbet/Liner - "American Sweetheart" by MacBeth-Evans
Pink Glass Basket - from eBay (maker unknown)
Figurine - by Armani from our Mother

Royal Albert Brigadoon Table

This week's table was set using a favorite dinnerware place setting from Royal Albert. Produced from 1980 through 1997, "Brigadoon" has beautiful light pink and blue thistles around the fluted rim. Pat paired it with gold flatware and a dark smokey blue charger.

The charger is called "Royal Blue" Color Spectrum by Mikasa - it seems much darker than royal blue to me.....

I love this style of cup - Royal Albert calls it "Montrose" shape

Pat always refers to this pattern from Pier 1 as "Ruffles Have Ridges"

We bought the gold flatware off eBay several years ago - still can't find a pattern name

Where it came from:
Lace Place Mat - from Lentz Department Store (a local store sadly now out of business)
Charger - "Royal Blue" Color Spectrum by Mikasa from Replacements.com
Dinnerware - "Brigadoon" by Royal Albert from eBay
Glassware - from Pier 1 several years ago
Flatware - Pattern unknown from eBay
Gold Napkin Ring - from Bed, Bath, and Beyond two or three years ago
Candle Holders - from Tuesday Morning two years ago
Vase and Salt/Pepper Set - from our Depression Glass collection
