Coast-to-Coast: Two Fish, Four Fish, New Fish, More Fish

Coast-to-Coast:

Two Fish, Four Fish, New Fish, More Fish

Two tablescapes from the Atlantic Coast and two tablescapes from the Pacific Coast.  These tablescapes are the result of a collaboration among four far flung friends loosely known as the Dish Divas or Tablecloth Fairies, who often bestow unexpected gifts upon their fellow collectors and share a mutual love for Homer Laughlin dinnerware and both contemporary and vintage table linens.

The four fairies bringing you Coast-to-Coast: Two Fish, Four Fish, New Fish, More Fish today are Fairy Daphne from Tabletop Time in the Boston area and Fairy Elaine from lovely Virginia, along with their west coast counterparts Fairy Rebecca from the Pacific Northwest and Fairy Candy @ The Little Round Table from the fringes of the San Francisco Bay Area.

Here's Rebecca's Fish-Scape first, followed by mine.

You can find Daphne and Elaine playing with Fish over on

Tabletop Time today too!

Fish From The Pacific Northwest

I was first introduced to the fish tablecloth by our fellow tablescape Diva Daphne from Tabletop Time during the 2009 HLCCA Conference in Pittsburgh.

For our quad scape today, I'm using the rose/gray colorway, complemented by Vintage Fiesta Forest luncheons and Chartreuse deep plates, a Chartreuse Harlequin teapot and Forest demitasse cup and saucer, Oneida Community Plate Deauville flatware and Rose Noritake goblets. This sea scape is accessorized with Oregon sand dollars and starfish, as well as green seaglass found in Washington and Florida.
Happy Day!

Rebecca

Thanks so much for joining our tablescaping extravaganza Rebecca!

The Little Round Table fell for this tablescaping challenge

"Hook, Line and Sinker"

I'm using the turquoise and red colorway for today's tablescape.

You can check out other colorways that have appeared here on TLRT too:

The Old Mill Pond and Pink Fish

One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish ..... Chartreuse Fish!

Let's Go Swimmin'

Turquoise in all kinds of ways can be found in this tablescape:
Turquoise fish on the cloth, contemporary Fiesta dinner plates in turquoise,
vintage Homer Laughlin 'Carnival' turquoise salad plates, vintage Fiesta fruit bowls.  The vintage Fiesta Figure 8 Tray usually found in vintage Cobalt is unusual in Turquoise and normally holds the individual cream and sugar.  Here it is holding the ring handled creamer again in turquoise and a yellow vintage marmalade jar. The spiral turquoise candle holders are vintage Metlox.

Chicken of the Sea tuna bakers in yellow and turquoise.
The little matching salt and pepper shakers from Chicken of the Sea saw
the water and jumped right in!  Some of the ephemera from my collection with details on these premiums offered for purchasing canned tuna.

 

Other details:
Red checked "Diner" luncheon plates from Homer Laughlin

Hobnail glassware, footed glass cake stand and napkins from Home Goods

Footed glassware from Pier 1

Flatware is by Cambridge
Bamboo fishing poles cut fresh from my garden. :-)
