French Romance table setting

I feel like Lavender and French Romance and created table to express that.

Birds-Burlap and Christmas

This  Christmas we are going away so I did not want to do much .My birds stayed from the Fall plus I really like them and did not want to part with them -I have added red ribbon ,added burlap runner I got at Lydis store, bought red runner on efavormart.com - they are $6 and add a lot of color and it feels like Christmas.

I bought  cobalt crystal stemware  from Julia factory -Europe  for my Mason Ironstone plates.My husbands mom received that set as wedding gift in 1942 from Riches Jewelery store in Atlanta.I have huge soup Tureen , platters ,18 dinner plates.I had them now for 20 years and wanted to use them -tried for Thanksgiving but size of 9 inches will be more for lunch.I found charges in Home Goods in Vero Beach and thought it will work well with cobalt stemware. Tablecloth is from Yves De Lorme-Lydias store it has rust- Fuchsia and I fell in love with it.Mason plates have same colors..Salad plates are old 1930 ties plates in light pink.

Thanksgiving in Fuchsia

I started with something else and ended up with a suprise. My Yves De lorme tablecloth Comedia pattern just arrived. The blue European crystal glasses from Julia crystal factory were saved for another event, but the orange in tablecloth would makes me think Thanksgiving so I started to put things together. Main plates are Talavera from Mexico custom ordered 20 years ago so I put them with crystal.
