It’s not a patriotic tablescape; just a red, white, and blue tablescape. No flags; just peacock feathers. This will be short, since we have two granddaughters staying with us this week.
I’ve had the blue and white placemats for awhile and can’t remember where I got them. The chargers were a gift from my friend, Susie. I used a blue plate by Vietri as the dinner plate. A cobalt blue canister holds peacock feathers, which were given to me by my friend, Cindy, whose mother raised peacocks.
These chargers just seem too pretty to hide under plates.
Pressed glass soup bowls (estate sale) top a white plate by Gibson. The blue and white flatware was from Kohl’s about three years ago. Individual butter cloches were from an estate sale, and both styles of blue stems were from two different estate sales.
I am linking to Let’s Dish Wednesday at Cuisine Kathleen, Tablescape Thursday at Between Naps on the Porch, and Festive Friday Fiesta at The Home Girl. Hope you’ll come back to visit again soon. laurie

ReplyDeleteWhat a totally delightful table for two. You know I love any red, white, and blue and those chargers are fabulous. Kudos to Susie for finding those. Love the flat ware too. I need to shop at Kohls. I never think about it because we don't have one near us. But will add it to my list. '-)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous, as always. You have the prettiest things.
ReplyDeleteCute table, Laurie! You know how I love peacocks and I like red, white and blie too. Hope baby Cooper's coming home soon!...Christine
ReplyDeleteGreat setting, Laurie. Those red plates are too pretty to hide - love them. The flatware is pretty awesome, too - have not seen that, before now. If you get tired of the silver and cobalt salt and pepper shakers, you know where you can send them - lol!!
ReplyDeleteOh, Laurie, you are going to have FUN with those wonderful chargers! And your blue and white flatware is gorgeous -- just perfect for this table!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous , I love the toile chargers, they look like something Home Goods would have had once.
ReplyDeleteLove all of it and the flatware from Kohl's, I never look at flatware since I have my Mom's pattern
Your table is beautiful and those peacock feathers , well ,,they make it
I'm glad you showed the chargers. They ARE too pretty to hide! SO many lovely feathers! And I love the little blue shakers. Pretty table! We have family in for the weekend too! Spring break! Have fun!
ReplyDeletePeacock feathers remind me of eyes, and they are staring at me! :)

H Laurie, I love every little detail here in your red, white and blue. Especially the peacock feathers.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend.
Hugs Celestina Marie
It is perfect. I love, love, love that red plate. Hugs, Marty
ReplyDeletePretty, pretty, pretty, Laurie. the solid blue stems are Noritake Sweet Swirl. I have a friend that had a pair of peacocks until the coyotes decided they would make a nice meal. She would bring me some feathers when they molted. I have them sitting in a Van Briggle tall pitcher!

Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great way to do red, white & blue, Laurie! The feathers work well with the chargers and the flatware with their wispiness. Those chargers DO look too pretty to hide! I have seen those somewhere while shopping and considered buying them, but knowing I'd have to cover them up made me a little bit sad! You've done a great job with them here, though, and baring just the rim is sufficient to let their beauty shine through. Enjoy your weekend with the grand-young'uns! :-)
ReplyDeleteI love this red, white, and blue table for two! Pretty!
ReplyDeleteKaren
Beautiful dishes and a beautiful setting!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty combination! It's a toss up on what I spend more of my "mad" money on - dishes or books!
