Apparently there is much interest in this table setting. Betty, in particular is very insistent. :)
I bought the fabric for 50 cents I think at a "flea market" aka parking lot sale at a store I like to go to sometimes called Junkadoodle.
Judging from the seam on one side I think it used to be a window valance. :) I use it as a table runner. :)
Last year in Pittsburgh at my mother-in-law's favorite thrift store, I saw a whole bedding ensemble in that fabric. :) I left it there.
The yellow checked napkins are a hand-me-down from my mom. They, along with a table cloth in a matching yellow, but larger gingham, were a wedding gift I believe. We have both used them.
The white plates are our Staccato dishes from Crate and Barrel that we received as wedding gifts. The multi-colored latte bowls are from Anthropologie. I have been collecting them one or two at a time in general for about 8 years now, since I stumbled out of the rain and into my first Anthropologie experience in NYC.
The little latte bowls are also from Anthropologie and were a gift from my sweet sister-in-law, Mandy, a few Christmases ago.
The polka dotted drinking glasses are from a store in NYC called Fishs Eddy. My mom and I hand carried them back after a trip in 2004.
So that's the scoop. :) Any more questions, just let me know. :)
Happy Thanksgiving. Kelly
p.s. oh yeah, the table setting was for dinner when we had our friends Renae and Steve over a few months ago and served Carribean jerk chicken, hence the bright colors. :)
Ah! Now THAT is the detail we know, love and have come to expect from Miss G! Thank you, thank you and thank you! I was most curious about the brightly colored bowls and I thank you for the information. I wanted to know if they were ceramic or melamine and I just looked them up on Anthropologie and see that they are, in fact, ceramic - that was my hope for your sake, although I think either would be adorable in your home. My only remaining question is this, "Who drinks latte's out of bowls?" hee hee! BR
Oooh! Pretty! It makes me want to go out and buy some new dishes. :-)
