It's Thursday and we all know what that means.....Tablescape Thursday! I have not participated for the past 2 weeks and did I miss it! TT is sponsored by our most gracious hostess, Susan. Please visit her at http://betweennapsontheporch.blogspot.com/ and check out all the creative tablescapes circulating in Blogland.It's my brother's turn to take care of my soon to be 91 year old mother so our table is back to a setting for 2. I decided to set the table that we normally use for playing Scrabble, in the family room.
How do you like my salt cellar with tiny pink roses in it? I placed it inside a bigger glass salt cellar to blend in with my plates.
We won the dainty Meissen napkin holders from Ebay. DH was actually the one who found them and told me to bid on them. They weren't cheap and I am embarrassed to tell you how much we paid.
Flatware in cutout design, lacy white embroidered cloth placemats brought back from Grand Cayman, lacy white plate chargers from Horchow, waffle patterned depression glass plates and I thought I would use my Haviland Brown Rose salad plates and that completes the setting.
We must have been to Grand Cayman at least 6 times and everytime we go there, I always end up in a tablecloth store and never come out empty handed. I bought this tablecloth from our trip there last week.
A closer look! Isn't the cut work design pretty?
There is an antique store here that is moving to another location. They were packing when I stopped in 2 days ago. The owner told me that she can give me a good deal on anything I wanted. I saw this silver wine decanter set and was attracted to the medallion design. The set includes 6 cups but I took the 4 away since it's just me and dh now. The owner gave me a good deal as promised so it came home with me. I also bought the silver salt and pepper shakers you see above from the same store.
I used an orchid that I placed in a glass bowl for a centerpiece. I think the glass bowl makes it more elegant. And did you notice my bird?
I hope you enjoyed the tablescape as I have in creating it. Now, let's all go to Susan's place!

Hi Christine...another gorgeous tablescape! Your napkins are beautiful...totally worth whatever you paid! I love all the detail you put into your tablescapes...the orchid and little bird are perfect in the center. I know you'll miss your Mom...how wonderful that she gets to spend time with each of you. Girl, aren't you loving the flower chargers...and you got such a great deal! Stuff almost never goes on sale at my Marshalls...I don't think it sticks around long enough. :-) Thanks for a great TT!

I do like those napkin rings; I don't care how much you paid for them.
I have an eBay purchase on the way that I will be sharing in a tablescape soon. I can't wait.

Christine,
Your table setting is lovely! I love the napkin rings, and if you like them, I'm sure they were worth the price. They really set off the table and bring out the details in your dishes!
Love the whole thing!
:) Diane
Christine, This tablescape is outstanding. You have such a eye for beautiful things. I love your napkin rings. They are just precious. And your tablecloth, I want your tablecloth!! Everything is just perfect!
Hugs, Terrie
Everything looks so classy and elegant. I love your tablecloth and napkins. The napkin rings are incredible beautiful - worth every penny you paid! Sometimes you just have to splurge.
Wow, a real treat! I love the way you paired the dishes together. The wine decanter is to die for. Love the orchid in the crystal dish-it is very elegant. Beautiful, beautiful job. I love this table!
Hi Christine! Whatever you paid for those napkin rings - it was worth it! They are stunning! I love everything about your tablescape. I have never heard of a salt cellar before - you see? I learn something new every day in blogland!! ~Kim

Very nice. I love eating someplace besides the dining room. Lovely.
Christine, that tablecloth is beautiful, and how wonderful to have all of the other cutwork theme pieces -- that flatware and the napkins. Everything is so pulled together and pretty. What beautiful little salt cellars, and those napkin rings are so pretty. I think you are getting terribly romantic! It's lovely. laurie
Forgot to tell you that the wine set is so unique and beautiful! Leave it to you to find a place that was going out of business!! laurie
HI Christine! Oh, I love your tablescape as usual! So lovely. That tablecloth is gorgoues!
Oh, I think I have those same dinner plates in Emma's Garden. The flower border with a white center? Oh, we'll set some sweet tables, won't we?
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
Your stuff is soo pretty ! I love
the table linens and I had no idea
that you could get linen in the
Grand Caymans, wow ! Your good deals at the antique shop are
gorgeous ! Thanks so much for sharing ! Hugs ~ Kammy
My....such a lovely setting. I adore your sweet salt cellars.
Hope you have had a beautiful day
Love the tablecoth cut work and the napkins. The wine decanter is wonderful as the salt cellars! The china is very lovely. I love the crystal plate. Such a romantic setting!
Hi Christine...Just had to stop back by and tell you...I got my receipt out and I did pay the same thing you mentioned for the Spode Garland china. I was off a $1 on each so the salads were $1.99 and the chargers were $2.99...unbelieveable! You can hardly buy paperplates for that! LOL BTW, a friend of mine went online and found them at Bed Bath and Beyond and the prices were realllllly high! So glad good ole Marshalls got them in. I stopped by a Marshalls and bought 3 more of each since the price was even lower than I'd remembered. I think I'll try to find 1 more set so I'll have an even 10. I always like having a little extra for breakage...'cause I'm a klutz! :-) Susan
Christine,
What an elegant tablescape. It was a feast for the eyes! I loved everything, from the china, to the napkin rings, to the tablecloth. Can't wait to see more of your blog. Thanks for sharing!
Oh Christine, this is one of my favorite tablescapes!! It is so graceful, and full of so many elegant pieces.
Oh, Christine, this is so lovely! Every detail is beautiful! I especially love your rose salt cellars and napkin rings...so delicate and pretty!
Have a fabulous week!
;-D
