Elegant Southern Country – Magnolias & Lace

My mother always said any table was made elegant with Lace, and Magnolias made every table southern.  I’ve put the two together for a little get-together tablescape.  I love playing with my dishes.

  I love these wonderful candlestems, I found 6 of them at the GW all different sizes.

I found these pretty green tealight holders at the Dollar Tree.

Creamy white magnolias.

A view from above.

I’ve used an assortment of whimsical dishes for this setting.

I found these fun leaf plates at Home Goods a while back. They have no marking on the back.

The green salad plate are Bordallo Pinneiro Made in Portugal.  Each plate has a different animal and the trim on the rim is also different.  I found these at Ross a couple of years ago.   I love the little pig on this one.

A while back I won a set of napkin rings on Ebay with different animal figures.  This little pig is perfect to go with the plate.

Roosters on this one.

So a rooster napkin ring to match.

Bunny’s are always a favorite of mine.

And a bunny napkin ring is perfect.

Now who doesn’t also love cows.

But my set had a duck and not a cow.  So I hope these two will be friends.

The dinner plate is International Tableworks Arbor that I found at GW.

I’m using my Horchow Ivory handled flatware.

A simple green stem from Pier One years ago with a clear one from the Dollar Tree.

A few tulips spilling out of the bottom of the arrangement.

I have had so much fun mixing the country dishes with the Lace and Magnolias.

Just a little Southern Hospitality.
