This one was just for fun, plus I needed something to use for my blog header, so why not set up an entire table outside just to play around and take pictures:) Some day my husband and I might actually get to sit down to a dinner just for two. Dreaming of that day! Some photos will have different things in them since I was trying things out and snapping pics at the same time.
Of course I got to use my new(to me) Noritake china. The wine glasses are Dollar Tree and the small water or juice goblets are a thrifted purchase.
I used a vintage pineapple crocheted topper over a white cloth with a drop cloth runner down the middle.
First time I've used that pineapple topper and I've had it for ages! It looks white in the pics, but it's really an ecru color.
Love the antlers:) Napkins and candle holder/candle are both thrifty finds.
The flatware is mostly Interpur Florenz, a vintage stainless set I've been collecting piece by piece. I had to sub the dinner forks though since I haven't found any of those yet. I'm starting to wonder if they exist.
Thrifted milk glass, lace edge compotes that I've been dying to use. I haven't had a chance to use them on the real table yet since I'm short two. I'm really short seven since I'd eventually like twelve, but two more would work for now. I've found each of them individually and at least three of them recently, so I still have hope of having enough very soon.
Thanks for stopping by!

What a wonderful table. The abandomed antlers are a great idea, they going on my list. I am a big fan of using drop cloths. I have one I use as a table cloth. I am going to have to make one into a table runner now that I have seen yours. Good luck on your search! Sometimes I think that is as fun as pulling the table together ;-) Have a happy Easter!
ReplyDeleteThank you:) One of my boys brought me those antlers, so they are special. Drop cloths are my favorite source of rustic fabric that goes with anything!
