Tablescape Thursday

Be sure to visit Susan at Between Naps on the Porch for her lovely tablescapes and other participants as well. It's so fun to see what people put together to share.

For my table today, I'm using my everyday dishes. They are Mikasa, Country Estate, pattern is Autumn Vale. I registered for them as wedding presents and have used them religiously for the past 25 years. They've held up very well, even with teenagers loading and unloading the dishwasher! {Yikes!}


My flatware is Michelangelo, also everyday.

I layered my placemats, silk on the bottom and woven on the top. These too were wedding presents and sadly, this is actually the first time I've used them!



The lavender decanter is a recent purchase from an antique mall, although, I'm almost sure it's new. The crystal vase was a gift from my parents from their travels, and the larger serving pieces were wedding gifts. The glassware and dessert dishes were a gift from my mother ~ I've seen them before on someone's post. I believe these were purchased at Joske's. Does anyone out there remember that store?

See the candle holder? It was a thrift store bargain. I'm so glad I picked it up ~ it's so versatile.



Here are a few shot after the sun had settled...



Have a terrific Thursday!
