~ A Chintzy Luncheon ~

Welcome to Tablescape Tuesday hosted by Susan at betweennapsontheporch.blogspot.com Be sure and visit her beautiful blog and check out the other participants....

Today I am showing a combination of my ruby red set with chintz. I have forgotten the maker of the red but I do beieve the pattern is "Charm"




Here is a closer look at the place setting




I like the busy chintz pattern on this plate




And here's a closer look at the ruby red underplate




These grape cluster napkin rings were an estate sale find


A little transferware teapot I picked up at Ross Dep't. store...a good bargain place to shop


A garden fairy oversees the swag on the table. The tablecloth was found in the upper cabinets the other day when we were taking pics of the dish storage...left behind by a previous owner...LOL

Hope your Tuesday is SPECIAL....

Hey Bo, I like being hours ahead of the USA as I get to comment first hehe, I am a red and a chintzy girl so your tablescape is my "cup of tea" and I love your red wine goblets, I have been looking for a set of those for a while now, with all the pink accessories this looks so elegant, I will stop by on my way back for lunch lol! Today is a special Tuesday, it's Vanni's Birthday, but we are thousands of miles apart, thank goodness for modern technology, have a lovely day my friend, hugs, Kathy

The red of those plates is definitely a showstopper. Red is supposed the make your heartbeat quicken, and I can believe it. Love the teapot also. The tealights add a very nice touch.

Hi Bo!
I'm so attracted to Chintz. Your table is fabulous. I like how you mixed it with that lovely Ruby red!

Bo, your table looks beautiful. I love the grape clusters on the napkin rings. I'll have to be on the lookout for some of those.

Lynette said...

Bo - Your table is lovely!! I would never imagine the red and pink looking so pretty together - I don't really know why?? You did an amazing job and I'm with Tardevil - that little teapot does not look like Ross - it looks vintage - sure fooled me!!

Bo, sure I would bail you out. Send me a ticket. LOL. You sure made me laugh. I love your sense of humor. We spent another day in town. My therapy is at 1:00 pm and by the time I leave there and run some errands my day is shot. I come home and take a nap and then dinner and darkness. It has taken a toll on my computer time.

Hugs...Jeanne

Bo, you can tell I am tired, I forgot to tell you how much I love your tblescape today. I adore chintz and your combination with the ruby red dishes is stunning. You set a gracious and beautiful table. I love to see what you will do next. You sure have the resources( dishes galore) to set many lovely tablescapes. Nice job.

Hugs...Jeanne

Bargain Decorating with Laurie said...

I am absolutely loving those napkin rings! They are gorgeous. I've always loved chintz china, but have yet to find some at enough of a bargain to make me want to cram another set into my cabinets. What a beautifully striking table you've created (can't believe you just found the previous owner's tablecloth, but how great that you were able to use it!) laurie (bargainhunr)

Carrie said...

I enjoyed this table setting with the use of the chintz china and the ruby red glass dishes.

I've used my Cape Cod ruby red dishes with my Christmas tree pattern, but did not think of using it with pink.

Lisa (aka) French said...

Hey Bo~~~looks perfectly beautiful!! Hugs and sorry I have been missing in action been feeling under the weather these days...hugs French;)

Susan (Between Naps On The Porch.net) said...

Bo...this tablescape is so magical with the fairy in the center. Love the red and chintz...but you've heard that a few times today! :-) Thanks so much for posting this gorgeous tablescape! Susan

ksarra said...

Hi Bo, I agree with you totally about making our homes about what we love. It's great when others like it, but it's OK if they don't. Your tablescape is amazing. I love your unexpected combination! Truly something new!

santamaker said...

Bo, I'm coming right over! Just love the combinations of patterns and colors. Very elegant. .. Filet mignon, perhaps?..mmmmmm

Scooterblu's Whimsy~Rhonda said...

Hi! Your chintz and ruby red combination is very striking and beautiful! I love them both, and together they are amazing! :) ~Rhonda

Laura @ the shorehouse. said...

There's nothing at all "chintzy" about this luncheon...it's beautiful!

The only thing we found left behind by the previous owners was dust bunnies. Oh, and a broken birdbath. You certainly did better with the tablecloth. :-)

Good morning Bo, thanks for your always humorous comments. Oh yeah, I could come up with lots more pics. Do you think I should add some? Big smile! Have a perfectly wonderful day. (I enjoyed another look at your great dishes.)

Love ya...Jeanne

Hi Bo!
I am back and making the rounds. That "Charm" pattern was put out by Anchor Hocking. I yelled out loud when I saw them in your cabinet last week as it is the pattern I collect. My grandmother started it. And then I lost quite a few pieces when some shelves I had them on collasped. They are classic and so beautiful this time of year, the only time I bring them out!
