This tablescape started out with the placemats I purchased at Anthopologie in the clearance section. Unfortunately they only had four so if anyone finds more pleeeeeease let me know.
The napkin rings and napkins were purchased at thrift stores. The black coiled napkin ring goes with many styles of settings.
The plates are made by Fiesta and I used black and lemongrass. It goes well with the vintage Dixie Dogwood bowls. The curved-handle iron spoons were purchased on-line.
Many times the food that I am serving dictates the tablescape. We were having Beefy Vegetable Soup. I used artificial veggies but you could use the real thing. The pitcher that the celery stalks and leeks are standing in is a Dixie Dogwood juice pitcher. I put black popcorn I purchased at an Amish store in West Virginia in the bottom so they would stand up. I, also, put the popcorn for the votives in the Dixie Dogwood juice glasses. The tablescape is laying on a 1940's cloth napkin. Since the vintage dishes are from the 40-50's the colors are perfect.
I love to hear from you so post a comment below and let me know you were visiting.

ReplyDeleteYour table is so refreshing. I love how you were able to match up the place mats with your dishes and accessories! And the centerpiece with the veggies is SO cute!!

ReplyDeleteHi Gail:
ReplyDeleteYour tablescape is so colorful and inviting. It also makes me want to eat more healthy! Ha!
I really love the black popcorn used for stability. It fits perfectly with the set-up. Of course the Dixie Dogwood dishes are just so cute. Plus, I love the name. It always reminds me of the South.
Enjoy your soup -- I will check back later to read your recipe.
Hugs,
Sally
I absolutely adore your tablescape. Just my style. Are the Dixie Dogwood dishes Homer Laughlin?
ReplyDeleteI just love them. Your center piece is a delight also. The whole table is over the top gorgeous...
What a fabulous tablescape Gail! Your use if shades of green with black is just stunning! Really. I am a frequent visitor to Anthro and will keep my eyes out for you.
