Lavender Tablescape and Purple Sweet Potato's

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
