Red, Yellow & Pink Aesthetic Transferware Tablescape

Vintage linens, transferware, roses...some of my favorite things are all gathered here for this fresh tablescape.  It's an amalgamation of styles but blends nicely with sunny yellows, warm reds and vibrant pinks all playing together for a cheery combination.

You know I love layering, so  I began by laying a checked drapery panel to set the color scheme of pinks, reds, golds and green.  Over that I added this vintage, scallop edged tablecloth atop from Pixie Dust Linens.  It is embroidered with baskets of flowers all in my color scheme for this table.  Pixie Dust Linens is a fabulous online Etsy shop specializing in vintage table linens. 

For my centerpiece, I used a late 19th century slop pail by John Maddock.  It is a brown transfer ware pattern with hand painted chrysanthemums of pink and yellow. 

I then removed the lid and placed it askew at the base.  I lined the pot with another Pixie Dust Linens find, allowing the crocheted ends to hang over.

Next I filled the pot with an assortment of pale yellow, red and hot pink roses, peonies, and some greenery.

At either end of the table I placed two double boxwood topiary's on either side of the table.

The topiary's come from Francieflorals, an Etsy shop whose owner makes all sorts of gorgeous arrangements.  These came assembled and securely placed in these vintage looking ceramic pots with a bird motif' on front.  I've had so many compliments on them!  I normally have them placed on my hutch in the background.

Now, for my plates and large cups and saucers...more aesthetic transferware.  These are by Brownfield and Sons with  an oriental motif' amongst lots of variegated florals.  They date to the late 1800's.  I have some of this pattern for sale in my Etsy shop, simply named English Transferware. 

I made a tassel to hang on an armoire with an extra cup:

My flatware is Barenthal Mabre with a cabernet colored, marbleized handle and ornate detailing.  I doubled up on napkins...vintage, embroidered with yellow leaves and trimmed in a dark pinkish-red paired from Pixie Dust Linens with some newer olive napkins trimmed in brown.  My napkin rings are Villeroy & Bach German red transferware in the Rusticana pattern.

I used a few vintage, red cordial glasses with tea lights along with a few other candles to finish it out.  I really like the colors of this tablescape!

Home, you say, when day is done,
Home to comfort and peace and rest;
Home, where the children romp and run-
There is the place that you love the best!
Yet what would the home be like if you
Had all of its endless tasks to do?

Would it be home if she were not there,
Brave and gentle and fond and true?
Could you so fragrant a meal prepare?
Could you numberless duties do?
What were the home that you love so much,
Lacking her presence and gracious touch?

She is the spirit of all that's fair;
She is the home that you think you build;
She is the beauty that you dream of there;
She is the laughter with which it's filled-
She, with her love and her gentle smile,
Is all that maketh the home worth while.
