Summer Floral Pastel Tablescape

This week's table is a sweet, floral design that features a unique place mat from Amazon this year. The dinnerware is various shades of pastel Fiesta(ware) highlighted with a bright pink napkin ring.

The place setting features "Sage," "Periwinkle," and "Sunflower"  Fiesta(ware)

Glassware is vintage "Esprit" from Princess House years ago

Flatware is Gibson's "Roseland Pink"

The place mat is actually two round mats overlapping to form a rectangle

We could not find fresh light colored, pastel flowers but Michael's had a sale on Spring silk ones

Rust and Baby Blue Colored Oriental Theme Tablescape

This week's table features Arita's "Imari Fan" dinnerware. It has several colors - green, white, rust, cobalt blue, and light blue - so it was fairly easy to build a colorful table around it. In fact, it was harder to decide what "theme" color to go with once the place setting was selected. 

Pat finally decided on amber - Maya (our brother's granddaughter) came up with the place setting. As usual, I fought the cat trying to keep him out of everyone's hair and neither he nor I offered a suggestion.

I found the gold flatware on eBay many years ago - the seller did not know the pattern. 

The luncheon plate is "Martillo Sky" from Pier 1

The frosted light blue chargers are from Pier 1

The amber glassware is "Meadow" from Pier 1

Our brother brought this back from Japan where he was briefly stationed as a gift for our Mom  - it is at least fifty years old.

Light Blue Frosted Glass Chargers - from Pier 1 years ago
