Now, I would like to share my table with you today. I think my table is rather a glitzy froo frooness with a little sweet on the side! Being it's still January, I have icy blues and silver going on.
I must tell you a little story, you know how I love to tell little stories...
Well, my tablecloth was so wrinkled! My Mother has always told me if my tablecloth was wrinkled just toss it into the dryer with a dampened cloth and it would come out wrinkle free! Well, Precious Ones, most of the time that works. Not this time. My tablecloth was even worse! So up to the ironing board I go and fill my little trusty iron up with water to steam out the wrinkles. Every where I moved my iron there was a trail of water left behind! The stupid old iron decided to die on me! I had to go and buy a new iron! Well, I didn't have too, but I needed one! Finally the wrinkles were gone. Hallelujah!
Be a bunch of sweeties,
my name is Shelia and I'm a Dishaholic :)
I'll leave you with a little Note Song~
Puttin' On The Ritz
If you're blue and you don't know where to go to
why don't you go where fashion sits,
Puttin' on the ritz.
Different types who wear a day coat, pants with stripes
and cutaway coat, perfect fits,
Puttin' on the ritz.
Dressed up like a million dollar trouper
Trying hard to look like Gary Cooper (super duper)
Come let's mix where Rockefellers walk with sticks
or "umberellas" in their mitts,
Puttin' on the ritz.
Have you seen the well-to-do up and down Park Avenue
On that famous thoroughfare with their noses in the air
High hats and Arrow collars white spats and lots of dollars
Spending every dime for a wonderful time
If you're blue and you don't know where to go to
why don't you go where fashion sits,
Puttin' on the ritz.
Puttin' on the ritz.
~sung by everybody ;)

Oh Shelia, you've out done yourself. This one is absolutely beautiful!
ReplyDeleteJust wanted to stop by and say Hi and thank you for all your prayers and concern lately. It has meant the world. How is your mother doing?
Have a great week.

Shelia, I think you walk away with the tablescape award; how beautiful. I must have one of those sugar scuttle? Where did you find yours; my daughter has one but was given to her by her husband's mother.
ReplyDeleteBlossom
I love the tablescape, just beautiful! I have those same napkin rings from Target. Thought they were great. Have a good week.

Shelia, You definately deserve an award for this tablescape. I adore everything about it. I would love to have beautiful dishes and flatware like that!!

Thanks for sharing!

Oh Shelia...Just gorgeous!!! How do you diehard tablescapers do it every week? I don't know when I'll have another ...so much work! I laughed about your iron...mine just died, too! I put an award for you tablescapers on my sidebar if you want it. My hat's off to you, Ma'am! I had no idea it was soooo hard! Beautiful job!...Debbie

ReplyDeleteShelia, you are just toooooo delightful for words~~~ everything here is just as bright and beautiful as you & your shining wit and charm!!! I delighted in seeing and reading every bit of it, and I THANK YOU!!! Hugs, Linda
ReplyDeleteDear Shelia~
ReplyDeleteI just love your blue & silver combination. It is exquisite.
I saw a silver set at the Salvation Army on Saturday~ the tea pot was a little crooked so I didn't get it. Oh I wish I would have bought it. It was a 4 piece set for $40. I'm kicking myself!!
Have a beautiful day!
Hugs~ J
Ooh, mucho prettiness!!!!!!!!!! Shelia, this table setting is just stunning! I love those napkin rings too. So sparkly and girlie!
ReplyDeleteJustine :o )
I'm telling myself over and over "thou shall not covet". So I won't covet your dishes, your glitzy napkin rings or your gorgeous sugar scuttle. I just want them for me too!! Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteMorning sweet Pickle...gorgeous table setting girl...years ago when I was into everything blue I fell in love with those exact dishes...started to buy them! Seeing them here today just makes me remember why I loved blue so much...love those napkins and those napkin rings look like vintage brooches!!! I love that..this is just fantastic Pickle! Hope you are having a great week girl!
ReplyDeleteHi Shelia! Your tablescape is gorgeous and so romantic! I love your Bavarian china! I have a similar set in a different pattern called Brown Rose but the shape of the dishes are very similar, also made by Haviland. Thanks you for sharing this beautiful tablescape...Christine
ReplyDeleteShelia, this is a beautiful tablescape. Those dishes are so pretty, and your candelabra, and your roses in the little bowls (what a great idea that is)! I love everything you did on this table and on The Richard. laurie
ReplyDeleteGood morning Shelia...Little lady, you've outdone yourself this time! You have created perfection (even ironed the linens for us)...the icy blue dresses up everything. The china, the silver, the candles...it's all so elegant.
ReplyDelete;-) Bo
Your tablescape is just perfect for a wintery day--so soft and elegant. My mother gave me this china many years ago--a gift from one dishaholic to another. LOL
ReplyDeleteI hope you and your loved ones are okay.
Well my dishiness you've done it again! It's absolutely beautiful and I love your descriptions!
ReplyDeleteSheila, you are so fun! Not only is your tablescape gorgeous, but you've got a wonderful sense of humor that made me giggle much of the way reading. I love it! I must come back again, your blog is going to be addictive to me! Love the background and music...your pics are fab! Ciao for now! ~CC Catherine =) Come see me for a visit sometime soon!
ReplyDeleteWonderful! M.Ann
ReplyDeleteOh Shelia this just took my breath away with it's lovliness.
ReplyDeleteYour centerpiece....~WOW~!
I love this color palette in the middle of Winter. Thanks for making me smile today with such an amazing tablescape.
Happy TT! ~Melissa ;)
Ooh, ah, oh! Your table is just so pretty and elegant today. I love it all. I like placing votives around my table, too.
ReplyDeleteWhat time is dinner, and what are you serving us today?
Your table is gorgeous, Shelia! I'm going to have some of those napkin rings! And the sugar scuttle is fabulous. That's going to be my new search!
ReplyDeleteXO...Kathy
Sheila, this tablescape is lovely! My mom had those same dishes...don't know whatever happened to them!
ReplyDeleteI love your silver...2 very pretty patterns....and, now I NEED to find me a sugar scuttle...love that! I'm kicking myself that I didn't hunt down those napkin rings, my Target only had 2 when I saw them...shoulda grabbed them and run to another Target...they look soooo pretty on your table!
Have a happy week!
When it comes to BLUE, silver, glitter, and Battenberg lace, what's not to like? Did you do all of this ironing for some special guests or simply for Tablescape Tuesday? I tell you, whenever I move, I'm buying the house next door to your so I can garner some invitations. Have this BLUE for me, please.
ReplyDeleteOh my, we are fancy today!!! But, oh so beautiful. Hope you invited Chloe Dawn to dinner so she doesn't feel neglected. That Haviland china is to die for!! My iron died this week, too - I hate to spend money on necessary things like an iron. I would much rather spend my money on dishes! Sally
ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful table scape and I love the colors. the sugar scuttle is so pretty.
ReplyDeleteRoberta Anne
This is a wonderful set and I think it may be one of my faves. I know my eldest girl would love, love, love this table. She loves blue...
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your day!
Oh Sheila, how beautiful your table is in blue white and silver. Just gorgeous with your Haviland china. You have an eye for art Sheila, because your tablescape is a work of art. I want to be your understudy. LOL. I am learning alot from you. Thank you my friend.
ReplyDeleteCome over and take a quiz by Dr. Phil. I think you will get a kick out of it.
Hugs...Jeanne
Sheila,
ReplyDeleteGirl, you know how to dress a table! I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS LOOK! The little bouquets of white roses are so elegant and the powder blue really plays up the china patters which by the way is gorgeous. Everything is just wonderful! I love it all. Thanks so much for sharing this with us.
All the best,
Alisa - Carolina Panache
You not only dress a table beautifully but the story is lovely as well. I love the blue, and roses are my favorite. Thank you for letting me in for a peak.
ReplyDeleteHello beautiful Shelia! Your table came out just awesome! Love all the blue and how creative you are with the candles!
ReplyDeleteBuffie ;)
Hi Shelia...such an elegant tablescape! Your china is precious! I always serve my dessert on my sideboard, too...but mine doesn't have a name. Guess I need to think about that...LOL! Your napkin rings are beautiful! I am soooo impressed that you ironed...I thought I was the only one still doing that! :-) Great TT post! Susan
ReplyDeleteSheila, Your tablescape is fabulous!!! I love the china, it is beautiful! ...but the blingy napkin rings and blue ribbons on the candles are my favorite! ~hugs, Rhonda :)
ReplyDeleteOoooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, I love this tablescape. I love the baby blue and silver together. And the napkin rings are beautiful! :)
ReplyDeleteShelia,
ReplyDeleteA quick note to let you know how much I enjoyed your Blue Haviland Tablescape. My mother bought those dishes for me when I was in high school. They were my very first set of dishes! I still love them and your tablescape has inspired me to get them out of the china cabinet.
Shelia, Everything looks so elegant and perfect! Gorgeous! Nancy
ReplyDeleteThe lovely blue color of the candles and ribbon provides the perfect accent for the delicate china.
ReplyDeleteLoved your tablescape. I love that precious china, those lovely blue candles, and those awesome napkins rings! This is just gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteWOW. thats all I can say. WOW. I love blue and silver. blue was my wedding color. and I wish that was my tablescape! that is one beautiful table. I never heard of a sugar scuttle before, but now I want one just so I can say sugar scuttle, sugar scuttle, sugar scuttle all day long. Can you pass the sugar scuttle?
ReplyDeletelove ya!
chessie
Hi Shelia...
ReplyDeleteI can't believe it! I thought I posted here yesterday!
It must have been the SILVER FLATWARE...it just caught my eye. You know, I used to sell SILVERplate FLATWARE on eBAY and love it!! So, I guess yesterday when I was here...I was so enthralled at seeing a couple of patterns I KNOW...that I forgot to leave a comment.
We're still praying for you and your mom.
Wow that is so beautiful...it looks like something set for a wedding dinner or some other very special occasion!!!
ReplyDeleteSheila,
ReplyDeleteI love your table setting, and I paricularly love your blue ribbons and candles to match! That shade of blue is gorgeous and perfectly mirrors the blue in your Haviland china. I also love your napkin rings. You set a beautiful table, my friend!
XO,
Sheila :-)
Hi Sheila! Wow...you set a glorious table! Everything is SO beautiful. This china is such an elegant pattern, and I do love the icy feel of the colors for a January tablescape. And your flatware is really pretty, and so beautifully detailed...love it! I'm gonna hve to gradually work through all of your archived posts now. :-)
ReplyDeleteSheila, WOW!! and POW!! what a beautiful table. I believe I have something like your china.. I must get it out tomorrow and find out huh? I almost got rid of it a couple of years ago. I'm sooooo glad I didn't. Well.. we've dropped to 5 above now.. burrr. I think I'll wrap this up and head to a warm bed.. hugs ~lynne~
ReplyDeleteShelia, I may have said it before but this time I sincerely mean it - you have outdone yourself. This table is perfect! It is just gorgeous! To think that you have gone through all that trouble - ironing the tablecloth and napkins - no I take that back - buying a new iron to iron the tablecloth and napkins then ironing them - I feel unworthy to glance upon this! I hope everyone is doing well at your home - including Chloe Dawn! ~ Robyn
ReplyDeleteAODRE the napkin ring! PRETTY!!!
ReplyDeleteI am officially in LOVE. This is the most beautiful setting I have seen. The colours, Whites, Silver and Blue. I love the napkin ring and love a little bling too. The flowers were gorgeous and the ribbons on the candles, the candleabra, the crockery. Everything. Now we know you are an artist your creativity with your settings is no surprise.
ReplyDeleteJust beautiful Shelia. A soon as I opened the blog and saw the first picture, I went WOW!!!
I need to change into something heaven sent...oh goodness...what a winter delight!
ReplyDeleteSo many things to behold but i dare say the brooch style napkin rings have grabbed my heart!
You went OVER THE TOP with that magnificent tablescape!! I love your dishes and everything you combined with them. The Richard is so beautiful :) !!! Yes, you are clever to get that Cup Shadow look in that photo!!
ReplyDeleteSo, when are we eating?
Dana
Absolutely, BEAUTIFUL!!!
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry to be so late in getting here but....life happens.
ReplyDeleteYou are such the Queen of Dishland, USA...your table always looks just beautiful and you just have the talent to really do everything up right! This table setting is just to die for.. very pretty!
Shelia,
ReplyDeleteI have those same dishes, I only have 8 place settings, I always like to get 12.
Do you remember where you got those ??
Mine came from a grocery store called Star Market now Shaw's, I bought them in the 80's. Every week when I did my errands I would pick some up.....I just love them...they came in 2 colors if memory serves me right !! It was my first set of China !!!
Your napkin rings are adorable !!!
Kathy :)
