1/27 Tablescape Tuesday

Tablescape Tuesday Logo

It’s Tuesday which means it is time for Tablescape Tuesday hosted by Susan and her blog Between Naps on the Porch.

I realized I haven’t used my every day Blue Willow dishes in a tablescape, so I thought I would use them this week.

I have a few serving pieces, but chose to use the place settings, berry/fruit bowls, and gravy boat. I didn’t want too much clutter on the table. Something is missing….duh, napkins (oops)

Here is the place setting. I never get tired of these dishes. I am glad I have been using my silver more often…what was I saving it for all these years?

Beneath the cereal/soup bowl is the salad plate…

and finally, the dinner plate…

  4. Susan...your table is so pretty! I love the peach colored napkins & how they tie in to the candles ( they are peach? At least that is how they appear in the picture!

    I was happy to see your berry bowls. I have never used mine and have often wondered where they went!!

    Finally, do you have any recommendations on where to get pretty chargers??

  19. I also love the classic Blue Willow. The braided trim on your chargers is some nice detail.

    You are so right not to save the silver for the next generation. I am all about using everything I have while I am still around to enjoy it!

    Very pretty table.

  43. Your dishes are really pretty. I have two or three pieces of dishes that color, but I don't know the name of the pattern. They were some pieces that came out of my Mom's home.

    ReplyDelete
  44. Your everyday dishes are the same as mine - just love them as they are so durable and versatile. How's your collection of red transferware coming? Have a great day. Sally

  46. I just love Blue Willow. Hubby & I started out our marriage with an inexpensive set of four place settings of that pattern. Through the years I used it so much that not much has survived of it. I display with it now instead of using it. Only so much that glue can fix, you know?!?
