Today's tablescape is a mix of the old with the new from several vintage lines paired with contemporary Fiesta. More details at the end of today's post.

ON THE TABLE - all links lead to more detailed information on the elements
Vintage tablecloth from my collection - Tablecloth Database
Place settings are a mix of vintage and contemporary Fiesta dinnerware. The small fruit bowl is Turquoise vintage. Did you know that "Fiestaware" is a misnomer? Used correctly it is Fiesta dinnerware or tableware or Fiesta plates, bowls, etc.

Fabulous colours, I really liked the cutlery.
ReplyDeleteMixing it up indeed! So much great info in this post. I love the color combos on the table and sideboard.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous color combination. Then again, anything close to turquoise or aqua always catches my eye. Those are the colors in my kitchen, but instead of the aqua I have lime green (lime green, yellow, and orange). I've been tempted to add the aqua as well because they all look so beautiful and cheerful together. Delightful tablescape.
ReplyDeleteWhat an attractive color scheme, beautiful job. And I love those mushroom decorations!
ReplyDeleteBest,
Gloria
So fun to mix the old with the new! The mushrooms are adorable and add that perfect whimsical touch.
