Beeutiful By Design: August 2017

Thanks for stopping by

this was a quick table I set

to get the feeling of fall without

going full pumpkin theme,

which I am told by my

daughter cannot happen until

after Labor Day.

Mixing new with vintage

and paper

with "real" tabletop is my favorite table setting.

I started with these vintage gold

sun pattern glasses.

I used burlap plate chargers with

ivory cablenight plates they say

warm and cozy to me.

My Horchow Bee flatware is a favorite, but

since this was a casual quick table

I only used the dinner fork and knife.

The flowers were such a warm mix

of orange crush and free spirit roses and

sundance flowers, safari sunset & mahogany berries.

My final layer was these large

dinner plates and napkins by

Caspari -note no pumpkins!

The garland of leaves

and berries detail

is gorgeous.

Overall I think it says

Welcome Fall!

I had to share this last blooper photo

with the boss in the background supervising.

Hope you are having a great day!

Welcome to August!

The weather broke last weekend and I was

able to go out on the porch and setup

this early peak into fall table.

I used the pattern mix of IKAT napkins

from Pottery Barn a few years ago,

with bamboo flatware

& the tobacco leaf inspired

dinner plates and napkins.

My centerpiece was a mix of pink wonderfulness

including hyrandgeas, roses, china berries and bunny tail grass.

Pulling some of the blue from the pattern

I used my set of vintage Indiana glasses in

what I believe is the Colony Park Pattern.

Each place setting had a Villeroy and Boch

fruit napkin ring given to me years ago

from my sweet Aunt Mimi.

When I found this Mottahedeh tobacco leaf pattern

I knew I wanted it for fall.

Here in Kentucky, nothing signals early signs

of fall than the tobacco plants

turning from their bright green to gold.

Best thing about this table is

both napkin and plate are paper

so easy clean up!

If you are interested in purchasing

the real china Mottahedeh pattern

you can find out

more information about

the Mottahedeh pattern

From the Williams Sonoma Website:

Magnificently embellished with 27 colors and hand-painted 22-karat gold,

Tobacco Leaf was the 18th century’s most coveted pattern

and still looks bold and brilliant today.

A tiny phoenix perches atop the salad plate’s bouquet of

lush leaves and flowers of the Nicotiana plant,

while delicate scallops and blooms festoon the rim.

Each piece is beautifully handcrafted of white porcelain

and hand glazed by the

artisans of Mottahedeh, a company dedicated to

reproducing treasured antique patterns since the 1950s.

At $145 per salad plate,

It is definitely an investment pattern.
