Biker Betty Tablescape

Inspiration for a tablescape can come from any place. This week's table started with a checked black and white plate. In less than five minutes, Pat had the entire table done. This is what she came up with:
Over view of the table - sleek and sassy.

That's Betty - a lean, "mean," biker babe and her "machine....."

Close up of the place setting

Only silver flatware for Betty. This is "Windsong" by Nobility.

The luncheon/accent plate was the inspiration for this table - "Chequers" by Royal Stafford


Dinner plate is black "Fun Factory" by Waechtersbach

Pat fell in love with these chargers when we were at Pier 1 last week

The napkin ring reminded Pat of a motorcycle chain

Black glassware seemed like the perfect choice

Oh, Betty, you rock!

Pat used black Depressionware candle holders

Yellow Sunny Branch Tablescape

Yellow is a great color - especially for tablescaping. It makes any table bright and cheery. With that in mind, Pat created a simple, summertime place setting for one.

The salad and dinner plate match



Sun Yellow Color Spectrum charger is one of my favorites


What could be better than a sunny yellow water goblet?
