When I found these hand painted I thought they didn't need many accessories.

So I kept the table simple.

I couldn't decide which flat ware to use, so I used one red and one black. Which would you choose?

I would use the red. The dishes are absolutely beautiful. Where did you find them?

Very pretty dishes Nana! I like the red flatware that you chose to use as well...very elegant looking, but would also be good for an Italian night meal as well.

Nana...I would have to agree with the red flatware too.
Those dishes are beautiful...you say this is a simple
table...I say it's a lovely 'elegant' table!
Pretty glass bowls and stems too. Did you buy everything as a set? Nice find.

Yes, I expect to see a loaf of French garlic bread on a long white plate ... & an Olive Oil bottle ...these dishes are very cute, nana...& I like your 'simple table' as you call it! Red flatware vote from me, too! Do you have a black runner? Would be cool running the opposite way from your placesettings under that black/red centerpc (which I really like w/your dishes, too!) TFS, nana! Fun! Jeanne S.

Thank you everyone.
Welcome onescrappynana, I hope you will share some of your items for the Christmas Boutique with us
I found the dishes at a local co-op store they were painted by one of the vendors.
The dishes are a set. I bought them for a gift, but of course I had to do a table with them first LOL.
They look perfect for an Italian dinner, don't they?
I guess the red flatware is the favorite.
I spent some time with DD2 yesterday, She had more ideas for tables than I could do in a month of Sundays.

Striking dishes, Nana. And I vote for the red flatware too.
Your DD2 sounds very creative, we need to draft her for our gang here. ;o)

Welcome, Scrappy. Hope to see photos from you. I read your post about craft sale items and your ideas sound really cute.

hugs, Karen
