…and the other side says “Friends.” The silver color of the napkin rings works nicely with the silver-plated pitchers in our centerpiece. ![]() They were a find from Pottery Barn a couple of years back. Since the salad plates are filled with a cast of colorful characters–an eclectic gathering of friends, I brought out my silver “Family” and “Friends” napkin rings. The yellow dinner plates are from Noritake’s Colorwave Collection. It’s just impossible to look at them and not laugh! They are called “ Dapper Animal Plates” and they feature a variety of animals all dressed up in people clothing. Recently while shopping for flatware at West Elm, I came across the silliest, most fun plates you’ve ever seen! I don’t buy dishes very often these days, they have to really steal my heart to tempt me. Two worked great to dress up the base of the pitchers for the centerpiece. Remember the preserved boxwood wreaths I always hang on my kitchen cabinets at Christmastime? ( View that post here: Decorating With Preserved Boxwood Wreaths) I decided to go a different route, swapping the white pitchers for silver-plated pitchers received as wedding gifts back in 1978. Initially, I placed them in two white ceramic pitchers but that looked a little boring. I kept the centerpiece nice and simple using two bundles of wheat purchased so long ago, I can’t remember now where I found them. So I took the leaves away and decided to go with something lighter, something that hints of fall but still has one foot firmly planted in these last warm days of summer. I’m just not quite ready to succumb to fall. ![]() At one point it was sporting a centerpiece of fall leaves and sparkly, brown pine cones. My table setting this week did its best to become an autumn table setting. That is what I hope to accomplish for each auction and it has served me well so far.Welcome to the 312th Tablescape Thursday! I have been selling on eBay for over 20 years and I have built my feedback up slowly and steadily by doing my best to sell items for a decent price, package them properly, ship them quickly and in general deal fairly and honestly with buyers. There are limits, of course, but if you treat me the way you would like to be treated we will get along famously. I don't sell on eBay to make my life or anyone else's more difficult. I don't want to lose your bid because you will be away from home when the auction ends and are afraid of repercussions for not paying within two days. Therefore I am not going to demand payment within a few days, I only ask that you contact me to let me know what is going on and if payment is going to be delayed for any reason I will cut you as much slack as possible. I have no illusions that this auction is at the top of anyone's priority list, and I understand that most people lead lives as busy as mine. I have a 9-to-5 job and do this as a fun, sometimes profitable hobby. These plates are in fantastic pre-owned but unused condition. Each measures approximately 8-3/4" in diameter. That is what I hope to accomplish for each auction and it has served me well so far.Thanks for looking, and One plate each of a llama, bear, deer, owl, fox, puffin, moose and rabbit. ![]() ![]() One plate each of a llama, bear, deer, owl, fox, puffin, moose and rabbit.
