Table Tops

I was a hostess at a ladies luncheon Saturday  and we all decorated our tables different it was each hostess choice how to decorate. I use to use my best china and this year I decided to do something different. Since I had just made all those buttons flowers I thought I would show them off at this luncheon.

I used my old ironstone platters for plates and odds and ends of coffee cups and saucers, all in the same color tone. Used  some of my old sterling  coin silver spoons and pearl handled knifes.
I used warm and gentle quilt batting for place mats and I did use some of my best white lined  monogrammed napkins tied the napkins up with a piece of coffee stained lace.

I set a little spool with a button flower in it at each place setting. Then under each platter I put a packet of flowers for just a little treat.
Everyone seemed to love it and I just love seeing how everyone decorates their table . We each had 8 ladies at our tables. I am not sure how many tables were set but before the luncheon started I did get a few picture to share with you.

    I LOVE your table! How creative. I never would have thought to use batting as a placemat; it looks great. I am coveting your button bouquet and the darling little spool vase at each place setting. The brown and white cups and saucers are perfect in this 'scape.
    Buttons, bobbins, and brown.
    Oh my goodness, I just love it all.
