I am joining Susan at Between Naps on the Porch for Tablescape Thursday. I have once again set a table for two. Come and join me if you would.
I found this French tablecloth at a local gift shop before Christmas. I loved it but with my colors in my house and I do love red, felt I would use it throughout the year and not just at Christmas. It's design is of red grapes with grape leaves.
I have again used the black trays from Nell Hills in Atchison, KS with my white Villroy & Boch dinner plates with my Hotel Silver from Horchow.
The napkins match the tablecloth and I have used these brass acorn napkin rings that I found in an antique shop in Blowing Rock, NC many years ago.
I grow many different varities of orchids and when they are in bloom I love using them as a centerpiece. My fluffy rooster seemed to just go right along with everything else on the table.
The stemware is from WS HOME that I bought some time ago and the bread board is one I bought from a dear friend who works in a kitchen shop in MS. She had posted on a message board some pics of her shop and I loved this bread board. She was kind enough to send it ASAP and I use it often.

I like the idea of using a tray at each place setting.
ReplyDeleteWe are always trying to get our orchids to bloom again, without much luck. We'll keep trying!
That is the cutest rooster...orchids are gorgeous. Love the idea of using trays as a charger. Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful table! I love the bread board! What a find! I live in Pensacola, Florida so I agree with you about our minimal change in seasons. I was out west in Colorado for about 15 years and I am so glad to be back home. I will say I am glad this cold weather is over! Thanks for such a beautiful site and so much inspiration!!! Mary Jo
