MacKenzie-Childs Inspired Placesetting

I just bought these never used, MacKenzie-Childs "Cloud Watching" placemats on Craigs List:
Victoria and Richard MacKenzie-Childs' farmhouse on Cayuga Lake has paintings on the upstairs wall that inspired this design many years ago.

The colors in the placemats are the inspiration for this placesetting:
Soup and salad plates are from Home Goods:
The milk glass plates are a recent flea market find - 6/$2.00
The napkin rings are from Pottery Barn:
I just love my new placemats!!

    Patti, you know I'm sitting here green with envy. LOL Great find! I've never even seen these placemats. They are wonderful. I've had limited computer time of late, so I've been scrolling down to see your latest projects. You've been busy. You are inspiring me to try my hand at painting a piece of furniture. ~ Sarah

    I don't know how much you had to pay for those placemats, but I covet them. Oh just to hold one in my hands and look at it, so I can recreate it would be enough for me. When you get tired of them, just let me know.
