Joel's Black, White and Gray Tablescape

My friend Joel Wilson of China Specialties fame

asked me to put together a tablescape with this tablecloth,

using only Black, White and Gray.

From Joel Wilson on Face Book:

I am going to give you a future one for a slow week....

for those of us who remember when TV shows like I Love Lucy

were shown only in black & white, using this cloth,

and no color, only greys, black and white.

Challenge accepted Joel, the result is below, followed

by a couple of alternative choices.

A bit of happenstance history in these images jumped out at me.

More than 20 years ago I purchased this Park Avenue vase (Manhattan reproduction line) from

Joel and his Mom Virginia
