The weather certainly has changed in Western New York. It seems like the high 60's is our destiny this week. I am thinking about fall today and the winter to come. I need to prepare for our winters here. I usually stock pile some food and paper products so I don't have to cart big packages through the snow.
I guess I was bored last week and created a new centerpeice for my kitchen table. It is the one I am using today. I am thinking about fall...I am having a hard time letting go of summer.
These are my everyday dishes,Yorktowne. I have owned them since 1977.
The blue Libbey wine glasses were given to me as a wedding gift from a beloved cousin and friend, Georgia. She and her husband were killed in a head on collision years ago. She gave them to me because she drank wine from them when they were camping and loved them.
The table runner is from Sweden,a gift to my mom from a cousin, Patti who lives there. The placemats are from Walmart last year at Christmas.
The candlesticks are all different and purchased at Goodwill at various times. The silver cakestand is also from Goodwill made by Wm. Rogers.

ReplyDeleteYour table looks pretty, Elaine. I really like your dinnerware and your blue Libby wine glasses!

So many things you can do with those silver stands! Nice summertime blues goin on! And why not? Very lovely table!
ReplyDeleteDinner on Friday sounds great! I remember those dishes. One of my friends also had them as her everyday. Good idea to add the corn dishes--still plenty of good corn on the cob around! Linda
ReplyDeleteOh how pretty this is -- Your husband will enjoy this pretty tablescape and your menu sounds like a great welcome home.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty table...your blue glassware is almost like the ones I used this week.
ReplyDeleteVery lovely! Getting ready for winter is a huge job. Wishes for a long fall and short winter ahead :)
ReplyDeleteBlessings!

Love your table and your husband is one lucky man. I read your previous post. Isn't life with Jesus the best???
ReplyDeleteI know that if I lived in New York state I would relish every day of summer. I often think that when you all are "snow bound" in winter, we are "heat bound" in south Ga. in the summer. We have just begun to get temps that have dropped back to around 88-90 and it's wonderful as compared to July. Your tablescape is so pretty. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI love seeing the Yorktown dishes. I had them long ago but sadly, no more. The blue glasses are so pretty and how wonderful that you have them. Enjoy the rest of summer.
ReplyDeleteI have always loved the Yorktowne pattern. My best friend (from third grade on) chose that as her everyday pattern when she married, and I marveled at all the different pieces available. I had never seen the corn plates, though! I also love your blue glasses, and I always enjoy reading the stories behind people's treasures.
ReplyDeleteLove those glasses, Elaine.
ReplyDeleteI read the previous post...amazing!
Your husband is going to feel so special when he returns home this weekend. You've created a lovely tablescape. I think that your friend must be smiling from heaven with the blue goblets lovingly placed on your table. Thank you for sharing your charming tablescape. Cherry Kay
