Tablescape Thursday – Setting for Soup and Sandwich

This week’s tablescape began with the tablecover. I knew I had bought this in about 2002 to use on the deck. I also got 4 cloth napkins that coordinated with it. Once I got it out and noted the red binding on the hem, and the red border of the napkins, I realized that I have very little red in my tablesetting accessories.

I settled on the vintage Wedgwood "Edme" dinner plates, cream soup and stands, and bread and butter plates. The flatware is just a silverplate mixture. These pieces take care of a simple lunch of cream of broccoli soup and tuna salad sandwich in an artisan bread roll.
The cream dishwares look nice against the backdrop of the print in the tablecover.

I found a red ceramic tomato, and a pair of red ceramic salt and pepper set shaped like tomatoes. Ceramic banana napkin holders pick up the background color of the tablecloth. The red border of the napkins pick up the red edging on the round tablecloth.

Doing this late Wednesday night I had no time to get anything like flowers from stores; I just had to use what was around the house. So, the centerpiece is a Knowles "Fashion" covered dish, set on an Edme saucer, on top of a pale green wire frame.
The goblets are "Evesham" for the Royal Worcester dishes. I have 3 goblets each with the cherries, oranges, blueberries, and pears. So I used two each of the red cherries and the blueberries, colors that picked up the napkin border.
Green café chairs with white vinyl seats provide seating.

It is always great to participate in Tablescape Thursday and discover what combinations can be made with things I own. Thanks, Susan for hosting this delightful weekly event.
