Sunday Table 6


Here is our Sunday Table set for tomorrow.

deer plates, flatware, napkins [Tuesday Morning -- various years]
deer place cards [Hobby Lobby -- a few years back]
aqua plates [America Thrift]
round place mats [TJ Maxx]
tablecloth, stemware & candlesticks* [BB&B]
white chargers [Pier One]
solid plates [Tai Pan]


A close-up of one of the deer plates -- they are all a little different. 
 I really, really love these plates!  Wish I had a dozen of them!
Somewhere they were described as 'Snow White meets Narnia'!
Such a great description!
 



  
 

*Today I spray painted the candlesticks aqua,
 and splattered a little white on them for a snowy look.
They were originally gold.
I've had them for several years.
{I love how they look with our aqua deer plates.}
 
I wrote a post 'Oh Deer!' in January 2010
about my love of deer themed dishes.
I'll be using them a lot during the months of December & January.
Trying to find new creative ways to use them.
{One of the sets I bought from a Target in California in the late 90s.
I've carried that fun after-Christmas-find all across the country & back again!}
