People will often tell me that they can't set a pretty table
because they don't have all of the dishes and accessories that I have.
Admittedly, I do have a lot of dishes and accessories, but a table need not be
set in a dramatic fashion in order to be attractive and appealing.
Today's table is a wonderful representation of modesty. It
consists of attractive place settings, patterned placemats, and a centerpiece that is almost Zen-like in its simplicity. A
simple dough bowl and two mangoes is all it took. It's lovely, it's serene, and
it takes very little by way of supplies or effort. Rummage around in your
cupboards and see what you can come up with, and let me know. You just might
surprise yourself.

Another stunning table Pattie, and I have always wanted a vintage wood bowl like that- your advise is spot on, sometimes less is more. Your setting is so inviting and attractive-

Hi Pattie! Love the warm colors and simplicity of your tablescape. Less is more.. :) Thanks for sharing at Dishing It & Digging It! Your projects are so inspiring!! :)
Hi Pattie, I really admire your simply lovely tablesetting. I agree that the simple centerpiece is perfect. There are so many ways to set a lovely table. Especially when many people do not even try. I am so thankful that my mom was a person who loved setting a pretty table. I love following in her footsteps.
Thank you so much for joining Blue Monday.
