56th Tablescape - Independence Ironstone; Brown & White...

"Walk by them - you don't need them." 
"But they are so pretty."
"Yeah, they really are."
"Just another look at them."
"Okay, I am walking past them."
(as I get to the door I turn, go back with a cart and ......

 Purchased them, 12 pieces for $16.00 - and bring them home!  And now they are at home on the dinning room table...
Now welcome to the tablescape.....
The runner and matching placemats are from Hospice - $3...

How beautiful do these placesetting look.....The bronz napkin rings are around fringed woven napkins....
These collector "Coca-Cola" glasses were a perfect match to these beautiful dishes...



Candles are lit.....
So glad I didn't keep walking past these dishes
As always - thanks to Susan at BNOTP for sponsoring Tablescape Thursdays. Remember: "Around the world - - life is best around the table". Thanks for visiting; please leave some encouraging words!

  4. Good thing you picked up those pretty dishes, otherwise, if you're anything like myself, you would have had to make the second trip to go back and purchase them. I love them. And you created a beautiful tablescape with them. It looks so warm and calming.

  9. I think that the pattern in your wonderful new dishes is enhanced by the design motif at the top of your dining chairs. So effective! You made a marvelous choice for your dining room. Thank you for sharing your lovely design. Cherry Kay
