The Tuscan Luncheon
When I think of Tuscany I always think of the plentiful fruits
and the colors used in the interior spaces
that bring the outdoors in.
The purple of the luscious grapes found in wine country
is represented here
in the dinner plate of the
guest setting
The olive background in the center of the salad plate
brings to mind the delicious olives served
with almost every meal
A close up of the dish stack
with everyday flatware
The bread plate has a beautiful grape and leaf design
in keeping with the theme
As does the gravy boat
The purple pitcher in the background
has been around for many years.
The wine glasses were a purchase
from a hospital gift shop!
What would an Italian meal be without
a crusty loaf of bread?
I'm ready!
The handles of the bread tray have
a design that resembles a fruit basket
Full table setting for four

Pretty table! Love the purple glasses and napkins-enjoy:@)
ReplyDeleteI love the rich colour combo! As usually, your table looks fantastic!
ReplyDeleteI love this tablescape! With all the beautiful purples, golds and greens, you've got Mardi Gras! I would love to know where you found the salad plates. I found some dinner plates, bowls and b/b plates, but no salad plates. I think they have wonderful colors.

Beautiful table...love the blues, greens and golds.
ReplyDeleteVery vibrant and beautiful colours in this tablescape! I LOVE those purple glasses and can't believe you got them in a hospital gift shop! They go so perfectly with the napkins. The mosaic candle holder as your centerpiece is gorgeous! This 'scape was fun to see, something different than "holiday" oriented.

LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!!! What a beautiful table! :) Would love to have lunch at this table!
ReplyDeleteYour table is so wonderful.....love the purple touches!! Every item you have chosen is just perfect for the "feeling" of Tuscany. I can almost taste the bread about to be served on the green majolica type dish!
ReplyDeleteThat purple just pops off the page. What a rich, vibrant table! I love those stems, wonderful!
ReplyDeleteThe stack of dishes is beautiful!
The colors are rich and inviting. I love the bread tray and the pitcher.. It's all so lovely.
ReplyDeleteWhat gorgeous colors! I love how the color added to the feel of Tuscany, just as your choice of dishes. Lovely!
ReplyDeleteBeautifully conceived and executed...colors, textures, design...you have a great eye. I was immediately attracted to those wonderful wine glasses. I'm tempted to hit all the hospital gift shops in our city...wonder if they have any? Do you know who made them? Thank you for sharing your charming design. Cherry Kay
ReplyDeleteHi All! I've been getting a lot of inquiry about those purple stems I purchased in the local hospital gift shop. Unfortunately memory fails. I bought them about 5 years ago, and I don't recall ever seeing anything other than the gift shop tag on them. I have never seen any like them anywhere, but will keep a look out just in case. Have a beautful day and thanks so much for all of your encouraging comments!
