Depression Glass Tablescape

I fell in love with these dishes the first time I saw them... they seem so delicate and beautiful. The design is called Federal Georgian Lovebirds (I mean what is more delightful than 'lovebirds'!)

If you want to see the story of how I found them and got them home, click here.

Today I will show you how they all look on my table. 

I love the softness of the colour combination.

Here is how it came together:

Silver Charger 

White dinner Plate rimmed with silver

from my first china set

Green salad plate

White & silver bread and butter/dessert plate

Green berry dishes

Aren't those berry dishes adorable!!! They make me smile every time I look at them! (OK, maybe a little weird...)

The other parts of the table included:

The centrepiece

The pink runner is a piece of fine tulle that I've gathered in the middle to give more emphasis. I've set the two small plants in more berry dishes, and the glass candle holders are from a local thrift store. The candles are silver but I'm looking for a green that would complement the dishes.

Here you can see the crystal tea light holders; the cutlery (unnamed) and the napkins I used.

The stemware is Czechoslovakian, and called Thistle. I purchased it in 1980 and need to find more of it if I can!

Ah - the candles look a little straighter in this shot, I promise they weren't all wonky like they looked in the others...

Now I'm going to sign-off like Pat and Katie at The Welcomed Guest tablescaping blog (LOVE it!!!) by listing where I obtained the items used (I find that so helpful).

Thanks for stopping by!
