Garage sale tablescape

It's Tablescape Thursday over at Susan's Between Naps on the Porch.

I haven't participated in quite a while....mainly because I ran out of dishes to share.
 After going over to my friend's garage sale, I had another set of dishes!!
They are Pfaltzgraff...I hope I'm spelling it correctly. I love the creamy white, and the design reminds me of Ironstone.

 I bought the silverware from Pfaltzgraff several years ago.
The same friend that had the garage sale sold me these pretty place mats. The napkins are tucked right under the flowers.


I really have no idea how to set a formal table. I'm sure the glasses are all wrong, but having pretty dishes for our meal always brings me joy.


For a centerpiece, I just clipped some gorgeous blue Hydrangea, and plunked it in a water filled carafe.

 Candles always add a nice romantic touch.


That's it. Nothing fancy, or by the book. Just dinner for two on my garage sale dishes.
Thank you Susan for hosting Tablescape Thursday.
Debbie

  1. Setting a perfect table isn't the answer. It's what is in your heart and that is what shows in your tables. This one is soo pretty. I love those placemats and the new to you white dishes are great. I love the hydrangeas as the centerpiece. Many blessings, marlis

  5. Well, there you have it! I keep telling you--we are so alike. You now own my everyday dishes! lol I have had them since...hmmm...1997! I remember the dates by the houses I lived in...and I still love them. I just realized that I have a couple of chipped ones that I should weed out and replace. I just realized that I don't have the smaller bowls though...and did you get cups with it? I really like the cups!

    It is so nice to see you back to blogging a bit more and participating in the things you used to do. Have a wonderful evening my sweet friend..xo Diana
