Strike up the music and join all the fun over at Between Naps On The Porch and do the happy dance with all the other tablescapers for Tablescape Thursday!
No dashes here, just lots and lots of dots ..... polka dots!
They always seem so cheery to me, so think circus or carnival or perhaps even a Fiesta!
The tablecloth is of unknown origin, may be vintage, but I'm leaning more to a European contemporary linen. Post 86 Sunflower dinner plates, with salad plates from Pier 1.
The flatware is vintage CutRite, glassware is also vintage. The polka-dot water bottle came from Crate and Barrel years ago. All the other Fiesta is vintage, including the demitasse pot (aka chocolate pot) with the matching stick handled demitasse cups and saucers. Vintage Red creamer and Yellow sugar sit on the Turquoise Figure 8 Tray, Yellow Bud Vase, Sweets Comport (aka compote) and finally the vintage Light Green and Yellow salt and pepper shakers. Napkins came from Bed Bath Beyond if I remember correctly.

Thanks to Rettabug for the ID on my green depression glassware that I use so often
here on TLRT!
Anchor Hocking's "Pillar Optic" design, sometimes called "Logs" or "Log Cabin"
And thanks to Daphne for catching my late night error - the flatware is "Quikut" not CutRite!
Thanks D!

And if you like a wilder and crazier polka, this might be more your style.....
bigger, wilder, brighter polka dot napkins are from Pier 1.
This is just so cute and festive. I love this. So bright and cheery as well.
ReplyDeleteI love the dots! The plates and the cloth go together so well, and the quik cut looks great with them!
ReplyDeleteI see Fiestaware! It makes your table so cheerful! Polkadots make me smile! Thank you for the cheery scape in the middle of winter.
ReplyDeleteLov'in the dots!!!

Love those crazy dots! What a cheerful table --- just the thing to perk us up mid-winter! I can't believe how the dishes match that vintage tablecloth!
ReplyDeleteYour table setting is so much fun! I love the dots and the bright, vibrant colors. You just have to smile when a table like that is in front of you.

What a fun table! I just bought a polka dot serving dish a couple of days ago. I really love that coffee pot!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun tablescape! Love the polka dots and your combination of so many of them!

I think this is so cute.....Kathy
ReplyDeleteWhat a happy~happy table, Candy! Makes me smile just to look at it. :D
ReplyDeleteYour green depression tumblers appear to be Anchor Hocking's "Pillar Optic" design, sometimes called "Logs" or "Log Cabin". According to my book, each one is worth approx. $14.
I have been saving my green depression glass to do a St. Patrick's Day tablescape but seeing yours incorporated so nicely here, I may not wait any longer.
I love polka dots!! Very festive. I especially like the flatware!
ReplyDeleteWhat a happy table! Love the dots. Thanks for sharing.

This is just the cutest thing. I love all of the polka dots and to have the linens to match is just the cutest. Great tablescape. Hugs, Marty
ReplyDeleteThis table is so cheery and fun! I want to go shopping with you! You have the most amazing collection of Fiestaware! Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteThis was such a fun loving, happy, cute as can be tablescape. Love it!
ReplyDeleteNice festive table. That is exactly what we need in winter, something with color! It looks really good. I was going to try some polka dots next week.
ReplyDeleteLove this tablescape. I just was telling my girlfriend this morning that I should have bought those polka dot dishes when I saw them at Pier 1...but I was trying to be thrifty....so much for that! Your table is absolutely full of life! Great job!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely love it! Just sooo much fun!
ReplyDeleteI love your polka dot table with all the Fiesta dishes. It is so bright and cheery, something that isn't happening here in the sunless midwest!
ReplyDeleteOh my.....lots of readers with their dancing shoes ready for a Polka - Dot! Thanks for all your lovely remarks about this table! Trying to bring some cheer into a long spell of total DRABNESS with these monsoons.
ReplyDeleteAnd I shouldn't be writing the text late at night, as Daphne caught me calling the flatware CutRite instead of "Quikut" .....I'll correct the text. Thanks Daphne!
Rettabug - Thanks for the ID on the glassware, I bought them on eBay from a seller who didn't know which of a couple of patterns they were and I'm a total novice when it comes to depression glass. So I really do appreciate the ID!
ceekay - When I was at my Pier 1 last week they still had the polka dots and they were 20% off! Run quick! I just wish they had made more pieces in this line. As I recall it was only dinners, salads, a tall mug....maybe fat little cereal bowls?
I hope you all check in for Foodie Friday tomorrow for another tablescape!
What a vibrant and fun tablescape! Those dishes look like they were made for your tablecloth! I also love the contrasting graphic of your napkins.
ReplyDeleteSuch a happy table with all the polka dots. I love the tablecloth. Your tables are so motivating to me:)

ReplyDeleteI'm loving the salt and pepper shakers. They are almost cartoons in and of themselves. Very cute.
