Tablescape Tuesday

It's Tablescape Tuesday once again hosted by Susan at http://betweennapsontheporch.blogspot.com
Be sure to visit her beautiful blog and see the list of other participants for this week's tablescapes.



This week I am showing my Morocco patterned dinnerware mixed with pieces of the ruby red
Charm . I must apologize for the quality of the pictures. It was difficult to get the true colors of these dishes.
*
*

The centerpiece is a red glass globe with tealights resting on a pedestal and artichokes tucked underneath.
*
*

The placemats & napkins are a deep burgandy. The wine glasses and champagne glasses are ruby.

*
*


The Charm bowl is used with this place setting as is the square Charm cup & saucer.

*
*
*

Regretfully the true colors and Morocco pattern do not show well in these photos.
*
*
*
*

Perhaps you can see the black swirls somewhat better on this dinner plate.

Thanks so much for coming by and have a wonderful Tuesday!

Bo, Just gorgeous. Maybe the photos do not do them justice, but it does not matter. The beauty shows through.
This is your most dramatic tablescape to date. Truly stunning.

Tanner is home with his new family and all is well. He went right to our daughter's dh and it was love at first sight. I am so thankful.

Sorry I am late visiting, another therapy day. Two more weeks and I will be finished.

That glass centerpiece is very unusual. Love what looks like fern fronds made onto the globe. Very striking. The tealights on the inside set it off beautifully.
