Candlewick & Paisley

As you know,

I love my Candlewick,

as evidenced here, here, here, here and here.

Yeah, I am a tad fanatical about Candlewick.

My first pieces were given to me 

when my maternal grandmother

passed away nearly 

30 years ago.

30 years since I began

adding to my collection.

And in those 30 years

I have never once set

a full table using Candlewick.

Until now.

I purchased the Waverly purple paisley tablecloth

and matching napkins some

months ago at Burlington Coat Factory.

I paid $9.99 for the tablecloth and $2.38 

for the 4 pack of napkins!

  I layered a cream napkin with the paisley to break up the pattern a bit.

The napkin rings were a gift from Mr. B.

The black placemat also helps to break up all of the pattern.

They are a recent Burlington Coat Factory

purchase at only $1.99 each.

The purple chargers

were on sale at Michael's, $1.00 each.

The Candlewick dinner plates 

were my grandmother's and my most prized possession.

I am so happy I am finally using them!

I then layered salad plates from

our everyday Gibson set and a berry bowl and underplate

purchased at an estate sale.

The bubble goblets are a thrift store find for .25 each.

I think they suit the Candlewick nicely 

when paired with our everyday water goblets.

 You may remember the candles from this post.

The candlesticks are my "go tos"

and were a gift from my oldest son.

For the centerpiece I used 

silk hyacinths and

white trailing flowers from Michael's 

in a cream vase.

The vintage Rogers silverplate 

is from the same era as the Candlewick,

1940's-1950's

Now that I have set a table with 

my favorite dishes

I think I will keep them out for a bit

and use them for our

evening meals.

They are so special to me

and it's time to make

some special memories of our own with them.

*Don't forget, I am starting a link party on

Tuesday April 24
