TABLESCAPE THURSDAY

Welcome to my participation in Susan's 27th Tablescape Thursday. Green is my favorite color, so I decided to set a green table today. No, it's not the 'GO GREEN' that is so popular these days, but rather a nice soft green. Hope you'll enjoy the look.

I've used this centerpiece many times after receiving these little Princess House floaters, as a gift from my niece. The picture isn't picking it up, but the candlelight makes the design from the crystal bowl dance on the walls. I raised the bowl, by setting it on my Lenox cake plate. The flowers surrounding it, is actually a wreath from our front door.

The Lotus tea light sits on a I. Godinger Co. cake plate. I love anything with cut work, plates, tinware or linens. I've been finding these plates at Marshall's and started collecting them as I find them.

This is a champagne glass, but we use them to serve an appetizer of either a fresh, fruit cocktail or shrimp served on lettuce leaves.

Another tea light on one of the other Godinger plates, they are different designs.

I loved the way the light is picking up the gold in this picture. The flatware is a set I bought many years ago from Spiegel's, when they had their BIG catalogs, they are brass with rosewood handles.

My stemware is Miller Rogaska, the Mayfair Gold pattern. I'm afraid we don't use these enough.

The placemats were ones I found on a trip to Marshall's.

Just another photo........

I like when the lights are turned down low.

I snuck one of my favorite, HOMCO collection pieces on the table. I recently saw the same one of eBay.

The napkins came from Marshall's, the napkin rings are very old and were a gift from my sister. They are sitting on a Lenox bread plate with a Sango dessert plate underneath.

I can't seem to get a good picture of the stemware.

I use this sugar and creamer often. Although the sugar bowl isn't really a sugar bowl, that's what I use it for.

The next picture is of my Lenox Citation Gold sandwich plate on top of our first china pattern, dinner plate, Sango, Versailles.

And the Versailles dinner plate all by itself.

One of my tinware, cut work, serving pieces. I pile it with rolls for dinner or pastry for our after dinner dessert.

I have many crystal pieces, but this little bowl is my favorite. When the proper light shines on it, it looks like a bowl full of diamonds.

This is not a good picture of the teapot, but again one of my favorites. Something that caught my eye and I just had to buy it.

Another picture of the sugar and creamer.

The cup & saucer shows up in this picture better than the others I took.

Another crystal serving bowl. I bought all of my serving pieces at Boscov's, they are imported from many different countries and sold under one company, by the name of Crystal Clear.

I thank Susan @ http://betweennapsontheporch.blogspot.com/ for hosting Tablescape Thursday.
