Welcome to TABLESCAPE THURSDAY! I was going to do a special table featuring Roses and some lovely dishes I picked up however I will keep that until next week. Usually I go all out for this fun party but I haven't been feeling well these past two days so I thought I would do a simple post about a few of my favorite things. Hey, that sounds like a song. ;-) I am going to tell this story in black and white. Even devoid of color these are still some of my favorite things.
ORCHIDS - I have suddenly fallen in love with orchids. White ones especially. This lovely potted plant is a new purchase. I have found a home for it in my foyer atop the little black chest that my hubby "re-made" for me.
Crystal, silver and white dishes! To me nothing says elegant table more than these three. I love to start my special occasion tables with these three then add a punch of color in my table linens based on the season or the reason for the dinner.
Several years ago I decided to invest in all white china and stoneware. I saw a pattern that I fell in love with and began to build my collection around that pattern. I was able to collect a service for 10 before the pattern was discontinued. I was also able to acquire several of the serving pieces. Dinner by candlelight is always romantic. I love the way the candlelight glows and reflects off the crystal and silver accents. Of course anytime your hubby pulls out that famous little blue box from Tiffany's, well that makes your dinner especially nice.
I hope you have enjoyed this little tour. For more incredible tables and tons of inspiration be sure to visit Susan at Between Naps on the Porch. Next week I'll share my new "Everything's Coming Up Roses" table. Until then,
Happy Decorating!

I love white and also creme china.
I hope to start posting tablescapes when things settle down. This is lovely and I am one who loves black and white photos; anything black and white or creme.
Hi, I came over from Melissa's blog. Home Interior used to be popular in our area but I haven't been invited to any parties for ages. I had no idea that so many beautiful things in different styles had been introduced.

Very pretty, makes me wish that I had white dishes! Hope you feel better soon.
Beautiful black and white photography. I agree that one can never go wrong with the Big Three...

White dishes are perfect. Your pictures are lovely. And those little blue boxes are wonderful to receive!!
Beautiful and sincere!!
I love white. I bought a set of white dishes long ago, very cheap and have used them for 20 years. I really would like to find a pattern and replace them. They can live at my daughters house for the next 20 years.
As always I have enjoyed my visit to your blog. Have a great day. Maryrose
PS - love the black and white photos.
Beautiful choice for today. I love your white dishes!
Have a great Thursday!
This is just so pretty, a nice alternative to the norm on TT. Love the black & white photos. The white really contrast nicely this way.
Very elegant. Love your white china and especially, the silver.

Thanks for coming by my blog and your kind comment. Love your china. I have been looking for some pretty white china, too bad the ones like yours are discontinued. All of your photos are very beautiful.
So nice to meet you.

What gorgeous pictures of some gorgeous dishes! The black and white pictures make everything look so elegant! Thanks for popping by to see me. My Grandparents lived just like that! Almost everything on my grandma's table came from their farm.
Be a sweetie,

I like your tablescape as well. Especially the placement of the orchids! Very tranquil.
Thanks for leaving me a comment, btw. Happy Friday!
