46th Tablescape - USA Stoneware - Cavalier Brown

 Not ready to deck the halls with boughs of holly yet - so sticking with the fall - deep rich browns.....This ironstone is absolutely gorgeous but the best part is they are made right here in the great USA..  Starting with a beige lace tablecloth.
 Added this brown sequined table scarf with fringed ends...placing it kinda at an angle and bunching it up randomly.
 Tall silver candleabras at the ends and smaller ones in the center.
 Dark brown placemats and deep copper chargers.

 placed some red/brown blooms at each place setting

 Beige lacy napkins and dark brown wood napkin rings.
 The vintage coca-cola glasses matched so well...

 The dinner plates - can you see that glossy glaze....
 the silver....


 Picked up these little christmas ornaments at a Hospice Thrift store - $.50 each - knowing they would look great hanging from my dinning room chandelier.
 Candles lit

A Tablescaper's Heaven

Welcome to "tablescape heaven"; Our church had a Ladies Supper and asked for 30 women to each hostess their own table and tablescape them with their own dinnerware and creativitiy!  We had a wonderful Salad Buffet with beautiful tables to admire...Thought I would share pics of this event and all the beautiful tables for this week's Tablescape Thursday!

 I was honored to decorate two tables.  The table above "Christmas Tree" theme, was given away to a lucky women who entered the drawing!  A clear christmas tree dinnerware for 6; with glasses, cups, chargers, tablecloth, napkins and napkin rings as well as the centerpieces.
 This is the "Snowman" themed table I did!
