Tablescape Thursday


Hi everyone, welcome to Tablescape Thursday hosted by Susan at Between Naps On The Porch. Please visit her blog for a list of participants and all the lovely tablescapes for this week.

Pretty In Pink Tablescape


These dishes were given to me by my mother in law. I had admired them on her table for many years.


I am showing the dinner plate and soup bowl...but there are many pieces to this set.

The white chargers and placemats were purchased at Home Goods.


The napkins (I am using a pink one and a green one) and napkin rings are from Bed Bath and Beyond. The flatware is Reed and Barton.


A side view of the place setting.


The thumbprint goblets and butterfly dishes are antiques and pieces from my large Pink Milk Glass collection. I have had the crystal goblets for years.





The birds were made by me in a ceramics class many years ago. I have used them everywhere in my home.


The centerpiece arrangement is silk.

Thank you for stopping by and taking a look. Have a wonderful and blessed Thursday.

  27. barb,

    I just love this table setting. I'd like to say it is my favorite, but all of your tablescapes are my favorite!!

    You must feel very special that this china was given to you, it's simply lovely. So vintage like but very classic. I feel like I have seen it before...

    Your pieces of pink milk glass are fabulous~didn't know there was such a thing. Is it hard to find? You should post your collection, I would love to see it.

    Your doves are beautiful! You are very talented!! Have you made anything else? My mother loved to paint ceramics...it really made her peaceful and happy.

    Of course i enlarged the pictures (as I always do!!) but I couldn't figure out what the pink dots on the table were!! Am I seeing things? LOL!!

    Read your last few posts. I didn't know St. Augustine is the oldest city in the U.S...wow! And I don't blame you for not climbing the lighthouse. I climbed Bunker Hill in Boston and didn't think I'd live to tell!! And your Monday post was so my life! Grrrrr...Mondays!! Time to pull out that apron after a weekend of neglect!!

    Have a wonderful weekend, sweet friend!! :-)

    xoxo

    The dishes are made by Home Laughlin and called Pink Rose. I think they are quite old.
