Vintage Tablescape

I was motivated by these gorgeous plates that I l-o-ve for so many reasons...chiefly...their price tag of $1 each!!

They are gorgeous standing alone, but I've never had quite the right base for these fabulous vintage salad plates that I picked up years ago at an auction for $10 for the set of 6...

I have always wanted to pull in these vintage glasses with these plates...

Let the Games Begin!

  I had extra plates, so I wanted to use those as elevated serving dishes...I flipped some plain bowls upside down and made a little wreath to go around the base with a pink and white berry garland.

Then I shopped the house for  these little bowls that I thought I was going to collect after I picked up the vintage plates...

The carrots are for some-bunny who might drop by this weekend…

 

The tablecloth is double sided and I picked it up at Goodwill.  I can't really remember where I got the quilted piece in the middle, but I liked the tie of frilly and vintage it provided on the scene.

Under each glass is a vintage crochet coaster (and I'm actually selling this set of 8 in my etsy store).

In each glass is a little stir stick...each one is different so it helps keep glasses straight when mingling...

The napkins are vintage linen with a bit of fancy work cut out on each.

  I often don't set the end of our long table to keep the setting more intimate and to allow space for taller decor that would otherwise block conversation across the table...

 

I kind of like the way this little bird is peeking out to drop off a hyacinth and remind us of spring's arrival!!!

Well…any-bunny want to come over for dinner????
