Red + Gold + Green

For a Tablescape Thursday a couple of months ago, I set a table with three plates from Pier 1 in their Elizabeth pattern.  I only had three plates for that table, but after reading my post, my sweet daughter brought me a fourth one from her store in Houston. Then, last weekend while browsing at Pier 1 (where Halloween is in full swing, by the way), I spotted a stack of Elizabeth dishes in the Clearance section!  I picked up four salad plates plus these napkin rings, which might have been made for this pattern.

Here's a look at the placesetting.  I'm using the back side of some placemats my daughter gave me and some green linen-y napkins I've had for a while.  If you've visited me before, you'll recognize my silver and my everyday glasses.

Here's an up-close look at the pattern and the napkin ring.

Even closer....

I decided to add some small dipping bowls my son gave me for dipping bread into olive oil.  LOVE that.

For the centerpiece, I found some alstroemeria and hypericum berries in just the right shade of rusty red at HEB, and arranged them in a green pottery pitcher from Marshall's.

Here's the view from the host's end of the table.  I chose some old brass candlesticks, as they seemed to go better with these colors than silver or pewter ones.

Here's another angle with a better view of the candlesticks. 

Thank you for stopping by!  I hope you will leave a comment before you leave to visit all the wonderful tablescapes at Susan's Between Naps on the Porch!
