I feel very fortunate to have had a Grandma that I was close to. I was named after my Mom's Mom so I felt an extra special closeness to her.
When she passed away in 1990 she was 90 years old.
When she passed away in 1990 she was 90 years old.
My Mom gave me some money in Grandma's memory.
I wanted to buy something that I would always remember her so I chose to buy a set of dishes.
I chose this particular pattern because of the roses and the beautiful pink and gold designed border. The golden-yellow colored extra large plate is by "Chris Madden for J C Penney". I used it as a charger. The setting was layered with a "Victorian Lace" pink dinner plate.
I chose to use a vintage blush pink tablecloth to give a little more formal look.
I hope you can see the beautiful detailed design.
The rose printed salad plate was placed on top to draw the colors together and make a statement.
The gold plated flatware gives the place setting a touch of elegance.
The pink stemware was purchased at the same time as the floral dishes.
A shopping trip to TJ Maxx uncovered the swirled designed yellow stemware.
A vintage lace runner peeking through for a Victorian touch.
A pink rose theme was starting to appear so the faux flowers had to be placed in the hand-painted pink floral teapot. The painted roses are so vivid and fresh-looking that they almost seem fragrant.
The pink sheer gloves add a soft feminine touch.
The matching sugar and creamer were included because the table was set for a tea party.
The framed rose-covered saying states
"A cup of tea warms the heart".
"A cup of tea warms the heart".
This silver tea set was hand painted by K Ryan in 2004. A large tray is included in this set.
A vintage rose-covered cheese dome adds to the garden of roses..
This beautiful rose bowl was used for a candle holder.
This rose printed candle is one of my favorite candles.
I still can't bear to light it yet.
See the pink bead hanging on the wick.
The pink Rachael Ashwell cloth napkin was accented by a gold beaded napkin ring.
The Rose is the flower for the month of June.
You can enjoy a garden of roses any time of the year
when using a variety of rose-painted dishes and accessories.

Your table is beautiful. The rose candle, sheer gloves, and the vintage lace are one of your "signature touches." The setting reminds me of days gone by where life wasn't so busy. I remember your grandma so well. She was the sweetest lady. Such wonderful memories. Just think -- we are making the same memories with our kids!
ReplyDeleteHappy decorating,

Those are beautiful rose dishes, how fortunate you are to have them, both for their own sake and as a remember of your grandma. I love how you thought to pair them with the yellow chargers, and the yellow and pink goblets really tie it together.
