I found the prettiest set of dishes over the week end at a yard sale and couldn't wait to use them in a tablescape. |
 |
I always begin my tablescape with designing a centerpiece to co ordinate with the dishes I am using. |
 |
In addition to the lavender flowers in the pattern on the dishes, they have pink flowers and green leaves. |
 |
I used lavender roses......pink sun flowers.......and nubby green pumpkins in my centerpiece. |
 |
I added a couple of artichokes and a few of the purple sweet potatoes to my centerpiece and filled in all around everything with oak leaves from the trees in the yard. |
 |
I bet you're wondering when I'm going to show you my new dishes....lol! |
 |
The dishes have a delicate ring of flowers around the edge of the plate ....... |
 |
Lavender......pink.......and soft green leaves |
 |
Along with the pattern on the edge of the plate, there is a thin gold ring in the center |
 |
Here is the pattern name..... |
 |
The purple glasses were my mothers, the copper flat ware is a recent purchase from Walmart, the paper sheep napkins are from Amazon, and you've seen me use my pale pink monogrammed cloth napkins many times. |
 |
I paid $15 for the box of dishes.......4 dinner plates, 4 luncheon plates...... |
 |
4 soup bowls, 3 fruit bowls, a couple of bread and butter plates, a vegetable serving dish, and two big serving platters. |
 |
I almost forgot to show you the table runner,,,,,,,,it's just a long piece of wide lavender lace. |
 |
I continued my lavender and green theme over to the display cabinets...... |
 |
I made a similar floral design on the ledge of the display case...... |
 |
Ornamental Kale and a pot of white mums...... |
 |
I filled in around the pots with a faux kale plant, a pine cone pumpkin and more oak leaves from the yard. |
 |
I have a dried purple ear of corn at the end of the design...... |
 |
I am serving loaded purple sweet potato's |
 |
I have them loaded with sauteed purple onions, bacon bits, avocado, and I topped my potato with sweet purple cabbage slaw. |
 |
The design on the buffet table is decorated in a lavender/green theme too. If you missed that post, here is a link to it.....http://penny-pennystreasures.blogspot.com/2017/09/our-greenhouse-got-crushed-by-big-tree.html Thank you so much for stopping by.....see you soon! |

ReplyDeletebet your loaded potato was delicious, I have never seen purple sweet potatoes in the store.

I've never seen purple sweet potatoes! I live near the sweet potato mecka of our state - Vardaman, MS. We grow the normal sweet potatoes. So wish someone would try the purple ones. I'd love to try your loaded purple sweet potatoes. Looks so yummy! I adore your new dishes. And, those nobby pumpkins are awesome! Such beautiful floral and veggie displays. I'm swooning. :-)

I am loving the combination of seemingly disparate elements in your tablescape, Penny. The sweet potato, though, has got to be favourite addition because it is sooo unexpected! Love this :)
