Tammis Keefe "Cow Parade - BBQ"

Several of us are collaborating in a Surf 'n Turf tablescaping event. I'm calling this event "Richard and The Divas," since we have a gentleman friend joining us. This tablecloth is the first Tammis Keefe cloth in my collection.

Tammis Keefe was born in Los Angeles, CA in 1913. Keefe
(neé Margaret Thomas Keefe) studied at the Chouinard Art Institute

 and then worked in San Francisco with Dorothy Liebes until 1949.
She then worked in New York City for Lord & Taylor.

She died in Ridgefield, CT in 1960. She sometimes used the pseudonym
Peg Thomas and is best remembered for her textile and handkerchief designs.

I'm doing the "Turf" and leaving the "Surf" to others.  We're having STEAK .... well it is virtual steak,

since steak and all other beef products have been banned from our house since Mr. TLRT had his heart attack in

July of 2011.  There's chicken for kebobs too, so no one will go hungry.

The flatware is "Treble Clef" widely available, just Google it.

Vintage carafes perfect for our BBQ, along with a ceramic canteen and a couple of

Cow Parade participants.  Red Stripe Rice Bowls exclusives of HLCCA.

Vintage colander with the Star pattern and some vintage skewers that are perfect for

the chicken kebobs.  Marinade for the kebobs is Italian dressing with the juice from a

can of Mandarin organges mixed in.  Marinate the chicken cubes and veggies several hours, grill over

hot grill for approximately 10 minutes, turning several times.

Delish!

Vintage Fiesta bowl in Antique Gold.

Several cuts of steak and beef kebobs ....... please help yourself.
More coming off the printer momentarily!

Vintage "Salad Server" Royal Chrome rack is highly sought after.

Vintage Fiesta plates in Red, contemporary Fiesta plates in Chartreuse and 

vintage Turf Green Berry Bowls.  The relish tray and shakers are vintage

Ivory.

This is the large Amberstone salad bowl, the same shape as the Antique Gold one above.
