I am besotted with cabbages real and ceramic-- ornamental and edible. I love the ruffled leaves and the textures, the pink or purple tint to the leaves. I love the roundness of the cabbage head. This is my latest find-- a pretty green and pink bowl from Charleston Gardens catalog. It was my favorite shop in Charleston on Queen Street. Sadly, it closed a few years ago and now orders are taken via catalog and Internet only. They do have awfully nice things for sale.

I ordered one bowl but it is so pretty I may get another.

Have a Pink day!

Pink Boy and I have lunch in the kitchen

Cloth napkins and cloth placemats make a table look special

These gazebo plates were a birthday gift from Kevin and Marcus-so me!

Soup or fruit bowls came from a local shop on Marietta Square
Pink flatware from Horchow years ago

I've always got cabbages or bunnies or pretty little things to hold salad dressing

Tablescape Thursday is here!

Please join Susan at Between Naps on the Porch to see other tables: http://betweennapsontheporch.blogspot.com/

We have a small table in our little kitchen/family room area. Pink Boy works from home and many times we will have lunch together in the kitchen. I try to make it pretty--men notice-- they may not comment much but they notice all the plates and table top accessories.

Most of the time it is just a soup and salad or sandwitch and soup but it is still a relaxing time together.

The colors of all these different plates really work well --all are sort of a lilac pink. I always love a round table --so cozy. We love pretty placemats. Placemates match the under skirt. I cover all my tables with fabric skirts then top that with table glass to keep things clean. Makes cleaning up easy. The swan topiary is a fun centerpiece.

Have a Pink day!
