My inspiration for this Tablescape was my purchase of the
Desert Rose dinner plates from Ebay.~~
I did use my cream tablecloth, and added my new Vintage style
embroidered tablecloth topper!! love the light green color.
My old oven safe stoneware soup bowls are for my
French Onion soup !!
I picked up four Desert Rose salad plates from Ross for $1.99 each~~
This is my Desert Rose dinner plate so sweet ~~
I love all the Spring colors.
I purchased my dark brown charger at Pier One !!~~
Now you all know this white flower plate is from Pier One ~~
I would love to have you all over for dinner some time.
I hope you all come back!!!
Please take a moment to comment and thank you
so much!

Very pretty dishes! I wish I could find pretty plates for $2.00 each! Blessings, Pamela
What pretty rose plates Diane. Perfect for this time of year. Your husband must enjoy all these table scapes too. So romantic for the two of you.
The chocolate and celadon with just a hint of pink is a wonderful color combination. You've set me to thinking...ideas are brewing. Great get on the desert rose, and I really appreciate the marvelous brown charger. Thanks for sharing your lovely design and for stopping by for a visit. Cherry Kay

I love that pattern! Beautiful table!
Beautiful tablescape! Your Desert Rose dishes are lovely and look great on the brown chargers. Loved seeing the French Onion Soup bowls, I often make that kind of soup and have similar bowls but not nearly as nice of a colour as yours!
Thanks for stopping by my blog and for your kind comments. I'm already a follower of yours and just added you to my sidebar so I can check in when you create something new!

Love the contrast of light and dark. Pure poetry. Beautiful.
The Desert Rose looks wonderful with the brown...beautiful table, Diane.
Diane, You did GREAT!! You know we both love the Desert Rose. Very pretty execution and I love the tablecoverings. Just lovely. Thank you for sharing. Hugs, Ginger
Once again ..everything is so prettyLove Love love it
Diane, I'm thrilled to see they still have Desert Rose. When I was a very young wife, I had a few pieces. After a divorce, remarriage and umpteen moves, I have no idea what happened to them :( I think I'll just live vicariously thru your blog. Just lovely. Thanks for the follow. Am happily returning the favor.
Diane, this is a lovely patten. I love how you paired it with black place mats and dark chargers. It really lets the pink pop! The stems and flatware add a soft touch. Love the little white flower plates. Lovely tablescape.
Have a great evening.

lovely as always my friend ( I think I remember this post) I like the little soup crocks too. xo
these are amazing table settings! so much more beyond my simple plate, fork and napkin everyday table setting. you just inspired me! thanks!
You know I have Desert Rose, and it is one of my very favorites. Love what you did with the flower plate mixed in. Adorable!!
Hello,you're tablescapes are beautiful. One thing about being on vacation, I get to visit all my bloggers in the mornings before I start my day. My mom had this set, gift from her grandmother which was her wedding gift from french mother-in-law! lol It would still be in the family if it wasn't for a fire that destroyed family home in 1980! Are these old pieces or are they reproducing the pattern. I would love to have a few serving pieces to remind me of mom; plus the colors will go well with my rooster collection. By the way, I also love and collect most things blue and white, especially blue willow!
I love the simple little salt and pepper shakers :)
New follower from the blog hop :) Can't wait to catch up your posts!
Hopefully you get a chance to stop by my blog.

I love Desert Rose. It is so pretty. I would not thought of pairing it with the darker colors but it works so well. The layers are gorgeous. I really like the layer of tablecloths too.
Hi Diane,I love how you combine color and texture so beautifully in each of your gorgeous tablescapes. The Desert Rose dinner plates look so pretty with the black French onion soup bowls and the green vintage cutwork table topper makes a beautiful backdrop for your pretty tablesetting. Lovely post! Have a Happy Memorial Day weekend with your family. Hugs,Poppy
Beautiful colours and textures.

A perfect Pink Saturday birthday share! I am so happy I have made so many wonderful friends through the PS years!

I did not get to see this the first time around so glad you reposted it. Happy Memorial Day weekend and Pink Saturday.
Thank you for sharing at the Thursday Favorite Things blog hop Big Hugs xo
Diane, I'm always ready for a bowl of French Onion Soup. Your Desert Rose pieces are beautiful. That's a pattern that has long been a favorite.
I love the Desert Rose pattern.
I do simple table settings and need to get brave and set a fancier table.
It is all lovely, Diane. I sent you an e-mail, and hope to hear from you soon.♥
I came by to say I thought I was following you but found out no I was not! Drat this blogger and google and all the rest! They steal me away from my friends! Thanks for being so sweet and leaving such a nice comment and joining me too! I hope your weekend is wonderful and you enjoy each moment spent with those you love! Anne
I am charmed by your use of the delicate and the bold together!
I can't take my eyes off of those glasses. Are they vintage or Anthropologie?
Wonderful to have you be a part of Seasonal Sundays.

Hi Diane!
I am finally here to thank you for sharing at my party! I love you tablesetting. The brown chargers and vase really work well with the dishes as they have the brown stems around the rim.
I remember those Desert Rose dishes from the 60's, my mother had wanted them but went with rooster plates instead. Boy... I wish I had both those services today!
The Desert Rose is an actually flower here where I live. I want to get it as it is like a cactus/succulent plant that has a pretty pink, single petal rose looking flower.
xoxo Bunny Jean
