Yesterday I gave you a sneak peak at the red tablescape I had put together. I had a lot of fun and as I said yesterday I have learnt to shop the house!
I had bought these cute napkins a couple of weeks ago and they were the start of my table. They were 50c each and the only thing I purchased so I was very pleased to be able to put this together in a colour I don't normally use - it is amazing how china looks so different in other colour combinations.
I have a few pieces of red transferware which I have teamed with some pretty cups and saucers. The white chargers were purchased a few months ago for only $10 each - it is such a shame there were only two in the shop!!
Most of this china was found in second hand shops or kindly given to me by my mum.
I have used pretty red and white tealight candles along the centre of the table.
I just love layering lots of different plates - I think it's just like unwrapping a present to see what's underneath..
The table runner was another piece of fabric from my quilting fabric stash - lucky I am able to use it in tablescapes as I haven't being doing much quilting lately.
Even though I don't drink red wine (my kids tell me I need to practice this!!) I really love these glasses. I bought them a few years ago to use at Christmas.
The clear handled flat ware matches the vellum paper I have covered the tealight candle holders with.
I had this lovely urn given to me for a birthday from a very dear friend and I wanted to use it with the white candles but I couldn't get them to stand up properly so the only thing I could find to use was the dark red apples from the fruit bowl!!
What is it about candle light that makes everything seem so special??

Those are beautiful dishes! I love red and white glass!
Your red transferwear is so lovely. I'm specially fond of the little flowered plate. The one with the big flowers in the center, stunning! Haven't seen any of those around these parts.

Oh how perfect. I love the red transferware with the red rose pattern cups. The napkins, your linens and the little tealights are all so pretty. The hurrican with the apples and the candle is such a clever idea and so beautiful. A lovely table. Thanks so much for joining the party. Hugs, Marty

I love transferware and the red and white combination is always so cheerful.
That is an impressive red and white table, Suzy...I love all the transferware. Have a great weekend.
So pretty! I absolutely love those large white charger plates! Your candle centerpiece turned out fantastic with the addition of the apples - sometimes "function" provides "decoration"!
