73rd Tablescape - Simply White!

This week I decided to stay "colorless"!  I was once told that I had "stoic" taste!  Well - I love white dishes...doesn't matter what shade of white - white dishes are beautiful.....

Added these little salad plates that I got from Last Chance Thrift Store - 4/@$2....I loved the shape of them sort of oval/oblong...they are Sango's...

 The placemats are linen, the silverware - Eternally yours...

 Used my Pfltazgraff - White salt and pepper shakers and sugar & creamer....

 The settings are very simple.....

72nd Tablescape - Black & Gold with a hint of Silver......

Black and gold always a classic....elegant!

 This is one of my favorite sayings.....

 This set of china I purchased at St. Vincent De Pauls for $20 - it is "Grace", Syracuse China - Made in America!  I love buying sets that are made in America.

Alternating silver & gold chargers and black and gold napkins...

 Kept the buffet simple....

 This is a beautiful set with many possibilities....

 The splash of silver is pulled from the silver band at the edge, around the china which is then followed by the gold band.



We always have dinner at the table - utilizing the tablescape!  I asked my husband if it was okay to just eat by candlelite, and he said - don't you mean 15 candles.....(what can I say - love the candles)  It is so nice to sit down at a beautiful table!
