    WOW! That is gorgeous. I love the tablerunner and the placemats. They are perfect. DId you make that? I have an extra gold tablecloth and I thought about have some placemats made with some borders on them. (I don't sew.) Your glassware is very pretty. My Mom had that centerpiece bowl in the Carnival glass. I am hoping it is with the things that are still boxed up. I have to get through those things this spring. What are the small green glass containers on the salad plates?

    Great, great job of an exquisite table. TFS.

    I still haven't shown pics of mine. We were planning to eat at the college where I work on Fat Tuesday evening, but I had a meeting changed to that night and DH didn't want to have to work around it. So, we fixed a dinner at home and I have a table that was done in a hurry. My sis has my camera, but I will show pics when I get it back. She took it home that night to use and I forgot to download mine first.

    Wow! That is quite impressive DG. Love, love, love that mask, it's so pretty. Please give us more details, did you make that perfect runner and placemats? Where did you ever find those cute little covered dishes. Are they for butter pats maybe? Your pretty edges on your gold chargers look so neat with the green and white plates, and you even have matching glasses and dessert dishes! Are these recent purchases or something you've been collecting? It all came together just perfect, including the green you added on the chairs--talk about attention to details! ;o) Luvs

    Dream, your Mardi Gras table is fantastic! All the colours really create the feel of a carnival setting and you have coordinated them all so well with your dishware and accessories. Did you have all those items or have you been on the "hunt" over the last while? Your placemats and runner are PERFECT! Did you have a dinner at this table or was it for show? Thanks for posting!

    Wow!! Dream, what a lovely table. Your placemats and runner with the border really set the tone. And the lovely green glasses!! Beautiful. The mask is gorgeous too - I have been looking for some nice masks and cant find any around here!

    Dream Goddess,
    You did a wonderful job of creating a festive Madi Gras table. The purple and green and a pretty combination.

    My sister-in-law and her hubby lived in New Orleans for many years. We used to like to visit there, but never during Madi Gras!

    I LOVE the tablerunner as well as the placemats! They're terrific!

    What a lovely table! The runner and placemats are beautiful enough on their own, but using them with the matching tablecloth is breathtaking! Love the green in the glassware and plates with them, as well. What fun a meal at that table must have been . . . thanks for sharing it with us.

    What beautiful colors and accessories. The table runner and placemats are gorgeous and the Centerpiece and beads are stunning. Love it.

    Thank you everyone! Sorry it's taken me so long to reply...work has been a bear this week.

    I wish I could say that I made the placemats and runner, but sewing is definitely not something I can do. I actually found them at Walmart. They're sort of iridescent and have all three traditional Mardi Gras colors in them.

    I've had the plates and glasses for years and up until now, they were pretty much only used at Christmas. I'm sure ya'll will be seeing them again when I finally do my St Patrick's table. LOL

    The green dish is a miniature covered butter dish. I found these on a website a couple of months ago for only $2 a piece. I wish I could find some in clear glass since I would probably get more use out of them than the green.

    Dinner was delish! I served a variety of Cajun/Creole inspired seafood, potato casserole, salad, French bread and of course...King Cake for dessert. Very yummy!

    Do you still have the website for the butter bowls? That is the perfect color for my china and I have glasses in that color too.

    Oh my, how did I miss this??
    It is gorgeous..every bit of it, and those green glasses!
    I have the clear butter servers, but I'd love a few green..so if you have the site, please share..
    Off to google it!

    The butter dishes are a reproduction of the Cameo pattern. If you do order them, don't expect to really be able to see the ballerina dancing in the cameo. The dishes are small and not a really good reproduction of the original pattern. I wanted to mention that so if ya'll do order some, you won't be disappointed when you get them. But hey, for $2 a piece, they're not bad.

    My first impression was how perfect the green, purple and gold were for Mardi Gras!!!

    Then I noticed the chair-back wrappings.

    Thanks for the eye candy!!!!
