6th Barscape

This weekend I decided to do another barscape - since it is just my husband and myself we usually eat all our meals at the bar. So this weekend this is the setting we used - breakfast, lunch & dinner - it is so nice to have a formal setting to eat at even if it is at the bar.....

The setting is very simple; I used a set of Thomson dishes, the plates are square in shape with sorta scooped edges; the bowls are deep - perfect for our ham & navy bean soup for dinner Saturday.

I pulled out the silver butter server and these little crystal jars with stopper tops, that I filled with salt and pepper.

The napkins I picked up at a thrift store 4 for $1 - loved the flowers on black and they went perfect for contrast with the dishes; used the square silver napkin rings that I won from a giveaway from Jeannette

We were having soup so I only set out these big silver soup spoons for dinner - I found these at Hospice Thrift Store 6 of them for $1 each - we absolutely love them for soup and cereal...

Washed the dishes and reset the barscape after each meal, made it very easy to keep the barscape - the dishes even look pretty in the sink....

Inside the butter server - is a sliced stick of butter - see rest of pics to see how I sliced the butter.....

Take a stick of butter....duh!

Using this "butter slicer" I picked up at thrift store about 10 years ago - you just line it up

and push it through....

and you have sliced butter. I don't know if they even make these anymore - since a lot of people use margarine. We only use real butter, bought in sitcks and we use the "covered" butter server - leaving the butter out on the counter so it is always soft/spreadable - yes you can leave butter out of the fridge.....

Well, there you have my barscape and an easy way to serve sliced butter...Thanks again to my sister Dawn for all her "blog-tutoring" the big pics and the linking- I would be lost in "a blog" without her help. Thank you Susan for hosting Tablescape Thursday. Leave "Some encouraging words" so I know you visited and can stop by and visit you! Til next week.......
