I run across these pictures of a table I set once for a ladies luncheon. This is a rerun you can say. Some of you may not have seen this because it was a few years ago. I have been blogging 7 years now, hard to believe.
I started blogging for self entertainment and guess i'm still entertaining myself with all your lovely blogs
My bouquet of button flowers set in middle of the table on one of my antique dresser mirrors
I used ironstone white and cream colored platters for our luncheon plates and my brown and white calico staffordshire cups and saucers
Do you see my white and cream colored buttons on the table? Then I made each lady a little wooden sewing thread spool with vintage buttons on it. One of the ladies who was at this luncheon called me later that day and ask if she could buy all the dishes I used for this luncheon. I said YES, I have since found some more cups and saucers for myself
This was so much fun. I would like to do it again
I am ready for this weekend Indoor Garage Sale at The Holiday Inn west convention center here in Columbia Missouri. My kitchen, well you can't walk through it for boxes and piles of things I am
taking out there to pass along for someone else to cutter their house with my treasures LOL
Here is another
luncheon I set a table for
Linky parties I joined in
What a gorgeous setting. I used to go all out, but now less and less. Need an assistant.
ReplyDeleteOh Janice, you CAN do it again! Bernideen and I are available anytime! winks The table setting is so cute and how funny that you sold your place setting to one of the guests!
ReplyDeleteDear Janice:
ReplyDeleteThat is sooooooo cute! I love the softness of it all with the transferware. A very lovely table! We will see you at the sale!
How fun to incorporate your button-related collection into your table setting. It looks great and very clever!
ReplyDeleteSuch a nice table setting. The button centrepiece was a nice idea. I wish I was closer for your sale. Have fun.
ReplyDeleteWhat a special table setting! I love your button theme! Such eye candy!
ReplyDeleteI love your table setting. The little button spools are darling. I may have to steal your idea for my quilting friends. I love all your red and white dishes on the sidebar.
ReplyDeleteThis table setting is just adorable. I love buttons!
ReplyDeleteWhat a delightful table setting! I am sure the ladies who attended were thrilled!
ReplyDeleteHow clever that bouquet of button flowers is!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun setting!! I know...I can't believe I've had my blog for nearly 9 years now. Sadly, I just write once a week anymore, but I still enjoy doing that and staying somewhat connected to my old blogging friends....and making new ones too! Happy Pink Saturday! Dana
ReplyDeleteThanks for dropping by my blog for a visit, spending a month in Florida is heaven compared to the long winter we have in Ontario.
ReplyDeleteI like your button themed tablescape and the crafted flowers look awesome.
How cute is that!
ReplyDeleteLove the button theme!! That centerpiece is adorable!!!
ReplyDeleteThis setting is precious for us ladies. I would love to attend.

I can't think of anything better than blogging for self-entertainment. I like your idea to fill up the jar that holds the button flowers with buttons. I have a jar of those mussel shell buttons so thank you for the good idea.
ReplyDeleteI like all the buttons ,I have a friend that sells buttons ,she goes all over the world looking for them a lot of history
ReplyDeleteHave a great week

I love anything sewing themed and your button bouquet is darling! Last year a 'quilt' themed dinner was held at my home for a friends birthday. Another friend made darling button flower arrangements coming out of glass s&p shakers for each of us. Thanks for sharing with SYC.
ReplyDeletehugs,

The button bouquet is charming, Janice. The whole table is! Thank you for sharing @Vintage Charm! Pinned!
