The Olive Garden

I'm linking up to Centerpiece Wednesday over at Style Sisters,
drop on by to see all the pretty things!


My dish buddy and fellow vintage tablecloth enthusiast Daphne from Tabletop Time
sent me the sweetest surprise package for the 1st Anniversary of The Little Round Table!

She is such a sweetheart. The package held a set of darling olive napkin rings, an extremely
pretty little olive country plate and a new cute card of one of her kitty boys and her table!
I can't tell whether it is Sparkle or Fizz, they are both very handsome boys.
Thanks so much Daphne, dish buddies are just the best.

Kitty checking out the posies.

They look good enough to eat.

And the perfect little accessory plate for The Olive Garden!


I picked a bouquet from the garden and pulled out what I knew would be the perfect vintage tablecloth to accompany all the pretties Daphne sent me.









Vintage Fiesta Amberstone Disc Water Pitcher and Marmalade Jar.









Thanks Daphne!


I'm joining in on Mosaic Monday with a compilation of images from Daphne's Oilve Garden tablescape.  Come join the fun over at Little Red House!

  9. Hi,
    sono un'italiana che scrive e in queste foto ho scorto un'errore che per un italiano non è possibile fare:
    - " olio d'avolivo prodoto d'Italia "
    In Italiano si scrive :
    - " olio d' oliva prodotto in Italia "
    Spero di aver fatto capire che sicuramente questo olio di oliva non è Italiano come sicuramente la ceramica !
    Buona giornata :-)
    La tavola comunque è molto bella e ben composta !

  12. It is just perfect with Daphne's gifts, isn't it!

    What our Italian reader is telling us is that the wording on the "olive oil" vase is incorrect and has nothing to do with Italian genuine olive oil.

    That would be expected from a "tool crock" cum flower vase that I picked up at Safeway for about $2 a couple of decades ago. And it was made in China, so I guess their Italian language skills need some honing! :-)

    Did anyone notice the lovely pool of water on the tray under the "vase" ??? I had just started taking pictures when I saw a strange "shadow" through the lens ..... YIKES!! The tool crock was leaking all over the tablecloth .... I had forgotten that years ago I dropped a meat cleaver in it and the bottom cracked. So I grabbed the little tray to cover up the mess and kept on shooting!! I think I need a crew to help me with all this stuff! LOL

    Thanks again for coming by to see my tablescape and a big {{{HUG}}} for Ms Daphne.

  13. Stunning table! That amberstone color Fiesta is gorgeous, and just perfect with this table setting. I don't think I've seen you use that color before -- but I haven't yet worked my way through all your posts!

  14. Thanks Tricia ...... yeah, I'm still up! Now I'm all set to hit an eBay auction at 5:00AM without ever having gone to bed!! Way tooo much Pepsi in my life!!

    I'm not always completely diligent about the tags, but I have used Amberstone a couple of times before. I don't have a lot of it, as most of my vintage collection consists of the first six colors. Look down at the bottom of the post and hit the "Amberstone" tag .... it should bring up a couple of other posts where Amberstone appears. It is also shown in the vintage Fiesta Database, which you can get to via the sidebar link.

    Thanks for coming by again!
