TABLESCAPE THURSDAY - Sunday Brunch

I've set the counter in the kitchen for Sunday brunch.  No, I'm not going to leave it like this until Sunday, but I wanted to show you just how royally I plan on treating my husband come Sunday as he is the one who provided the placemats and napkins for this table setting.  After our joint trip to the dentist on Tuesday (no cavities!) we popped into Tuesday Morning to give it our monthly once over and replenish our supply of Sarabeth Preserves.  While he was wandering in the gourmet food aisle he spotted this set and scooped it up for me.  I loved it!  The placemats are nice and thick and reverse to a wonderful, casual burgundy and cream checked pattern.  I like them so much that I'm considering sending him back for another set of four of each (the price was amazingly low) so we can use them when we host a larger crowd.

 I had fun putting this table setting together.  The color on the placemats goes with so many things that I have.  The Fiestaware, in turn, goes with many things as well.  I've paired it with Incaware restaurant ware cups and saucers.  The crimson band around the cups and saucers match the plates perfectly.

 The "napkin rings" are remnants of the greenery and flowers I had left from the tablesetting here which just goes to show that you should never throw any floral pieces or greenery away, you can always find a use for them.

Even the little antique sugar and creamer set work well here with the cranberry-colored raised cherry design (not to mention our port wine countertop!).

The water glasses are actually wine glasses (again the color is perfect).  I love these so much that I like to use them for beverages other than just wine.

I like the pale green accent plate.  I think it works well with the napkin greenery and softens the solid color of the Fiestaware plate.

The juice glasses are very special, but I know nothing about the maker or design.  They belonged to my mother's best childhood friend who later gave them to my her, who in turn, gave them to me.  What a treasure!
