Playing around with my vintage plates this morning. I am trying to get a colour theme going for a little dinner party I am having soon. I love mixing vintage mismatched china with a hint of modern [like this oilcloth used as a tablecloth ].
Love 'em all, but the top pic is my favorite! However...if my daughter and son-in-law were coming for dinner they would LOVE the orange polka.dot plates. I would choose the red and white stripes for Independence Day! So FUN! I LOVE plates and place settings and table- scapes! I would love to have a storage room for dinnerware and accessories! Looking forward to seeing what you decide! :) Blessings!
oh! the three of them are lovely!! I think I should pick the last one, I find it more elegant for a night party but I would be happy with any of them :)
Hi, Simone! The three of them are lovely but I would set my dinner table with the third option and I would include checkered napkins in black and white. Kisses, Bela.
Oh My Gosh. You have made my day pink/white and red/white polka dot oilcloth. I have been out bid everytime Ive tried to get oilcloth and have had to settle for plastic. Very happy girl here. Thankyou. I love the colour combos btw. xx
Thanks for stopping by my blog. Next pay day I'll be popping into your shop for a spree. Love that you have oilcloth - one of my favourite things. Loving the ribbons too. Have a great week. Carmel
Love this mismatched look Simone... they all look fabulous!! I particularly like the brown roses plate.. how sweet and looks great against the red backdrop
Thanks so much for your well wishes!!! brightened my day!!! xxx Julie

Great mix and matches Simone! They are all gorgeous but I love the orange polka dot one. Have fun at your dinner party. And congrats on your lovely shop too :)
Oh, I never would have thought to combine those colors; they are wonderful, just love them. I'm thinking in a whole new light about fabric and plates. Thanks so much.

Simone--I continue to find your blog inspiring on so many levels. And it takes me away--which is another happy thing! I am leaning with the polka dot one...but the stripe is coming on fast...:)) You have a great eye and it is fun to see what you combine!

Great job on getting your shop going. Good luck Simone. These plates all look pretty. You'll have to show us pictures of your dinner party so we can see which one you decided on :-) Blessings, Marcia
Hi Simone, Congrats on your new online store and I hope it is really successful. You were in two conversations I had today. First I was telling Amy that I think I am going to take up your idea of having different plates (yours look beautiful and so many of mine have disappeared, lol) and then Bruce's sister told me about the article in the magazine. Go girl! Good on you. A second lot of congratulations here. The jewellery is beautiful. Lots of love Dee
I love these combos :)
ReplyDeleteoooh beautiful pictures, and beautiful plates!
ReplyDeleteI love the last one with the pretty roses, so sweet!

ReplyDeleteSimone I thought I was looking at a Cath Kidston catalogue this morning - you remind me of her (not personally) her decor of course. Sandy x
