Table Top Settings, Just Playin' Around.....

Posted on 14:37 by Unknown
For those of you looking forward to more pictures of my master bedroom.....
Well.....
I don't feel like talking about that today.....
I went for a loooooooong walk with my bidness partner, Kris, 
and I is tired....
So, I am going to do a short post on different ways to set my table.
I was asked to show how I would set it, and so 
(being the accommodating blogger that I am)
I went a little loopy, and stared trying all different combinations
 of the @#$ I have.
I have been collecting all sorts of plates and glasses over the years.
I never use them.....
They just take up space.....
I like to look at them.....
Sooooooooooooooooo,
 in the interest of putting the best picture first on a blog, so that the blog rolls show it, I will start with the combo I liked the best!!!!!
I actually use the green cabbage leaf plates. 
I got them at Home Goods.....
The pearl handled flatware are from (gulp) Target.
I bought them before I started my boycott.
The hobnail glasses are vintage from my collection.....
acquired through my purveyor of fine antiques.....ebay.... 
I've had the basket chargers for over 30 years, 
I think they're from Pier One....
The plate is antique, I'm too tired to get off my @$$ and go see it's make.....
I love the blue glasses, they go with my chandelier.

But let's start with how wack-a-doodly I was the other night when I was playing with this stuff......
I started with some floral plates, to work with the cabbage roses on two of my dining chairs.....
Then I added a white hobnail goblet from my collection, and one of my new green hobnail glasses I bought online.
 Then, I changed the cabbage plate for a simpler green edged floral one....
(How exciting is this, anyway?????)
 THEN I TOOK THE SMALL PLATE OFF TO SEE THE PLATE UNDERNEATH!!!!!!!
(Calm down, I know, my life is one big adventure....)
 THEN I CHANGED TO THE RED GOBLET!!!!!
(I really need to find other things to do with my time)
 AND THEN.....
AND THEN.....
AND THEN I ADDED ANOTHER PLATE!!!!!
 At this point I went really crazy and paired the green glass with the red goblet......
(I know, I am such a wild and crazy woman.....)
At which point, I stopped @#$ around, and ended with this, my favorite, which is how I started the post.
SO, 
THE MORAL OF THIS STORY....
Don't exercise, or you may end up writing a stupid post like I just did.
