This is a wonderful tablesetting, Beverly! I love how you combined so many pieces/designs. I'm still hung up over "matchy, matchy"......yours is so much more interesting and creative! Love it all....especially the Floragold glasses, mugs and placemats!! I did not get my invite to dine, however. I'm certain it will arrive soon!! :) Have a happy day! L, Dana

How very charming!! My own FALL plates are pears-on-green, and have served for about ten years, as well.

And the remembrances you have of their history and provenance---I pretty well know WHERE all my dishes came from (inherited or GOODWILL), but to know the years-ago, and the stores and the time---that's a wonderful piece of your family history.

I first thought the sweet little bananas to be place card holders, but they're LIMOGES!! How very dear, on a fruit-themed table. Wonderfully creative and beautiful, Beverly!!

Inspiring...and so pretty for fall!

[Decorative-challenged]

this is very pretty; who was your guest and did this make them feel welcome and special? I'd never be awake enough at breakfast to use so many dishes!

[karen cox]

What a lovely table Bev. I love those dishes, they are lovely. Thanks for stopping by, and no I didn't know that was her husband in real life. Wasn't that the loveliest movie? Definitely finding it's place on my chick flick library.

Have a great day.

Very pretty, Bev! So nice to see you in TTH!
A very welcoming table!

[Susan @ My Place to Yours]

Glad you could join Tablescape Thursday! I especially love your white plates (great large size!) and the white fruit pieces. Really nice!

[Charo]

So pretty setting, the plates are amazing!

[Stephanie]

What prettiness, Beverly, and I don't think I spy a bit of pink and I STILL love it. Beautiful white pieces. And if I ever come visit, you'd better hide the precious little Limoges hinged boxes ~ I collect them and it was the FIRST thing I noticed!!

Big TX Hugs,
