Need comments on Idea for "Plate Exchange"

In going through my dishes I had a brain storm (at least that is what I am calling it).  With all the different tablescapes we love to do - we still run out of dishes and or new/fresh ideas.  So, I was thinking what if we had a plate exchange of sorts.  We all probably have some dishes we would like/need to part with but would love to have different ones.  Would love feed back on this, haven't really worked out the details want to see what type of response I get first!  So - leave "some encouraging words" and will take it from there....

24th tablescape - Clear Classic

In trying to decide what to do for this week's tablescape, I pulled out different plate combos but was drawn to our "everyday" (if that is what you can call it) clear dishes. Long before tablescaping I would get tired of looking at the same dishes/china every meal. So I bought a set of clear dishes and have added to them since. I never get sick of them for their color changes depending on the placemat, table or countertop they are sitting on. So here is the "Clear Dish Tablescape"......

Placing the table runner across the width as opposed to across the length gave two of the settings a placemat look.

Three huricane lamp candle holders for the centerpiece with just a splash of color from the flowers and ivy around each lamp.

Using a purple napkin wrapped in a white lacy napkin and an imperial silver napkin ring - pulling the purple from the flowers around the center/large hurricane lamp.

Each placesetting has a 10", 8", 6" clear plate and a clear embossed bowl.  The wine classes have clear ecthing.

Placed a few silver pieces on the table, silver butter server, tea service with sugar bowl & creamer.  Silver salt & peper shakers are at the center.

Candles are lite! Ready for dinner..
