Dinner for 4

I don't have a defined dining room in my home, it only has 2 walls. The antique dining table that is centered in this area does not have chairs around it, giving the illusion of more space. I just bring in chairs when using the room to dine!
Friends came for Sunday dinner and the menu was simple:
Garden Salad, Stuffed Shells and Garlic Bread.

I was excited to use my new Pottery Barn tablecloth and Waverly napkin rings with the napkins I bought in the Caribbean a few years ago:
The dishes are from Marshall's:
The flatware is Spode:

And here are the Lenox stemware I got over 31 years ago as a wedding present:

    What a pretty table! I love your dishes. I have the green ones in a beige kind of color- I love the edge detail. Don't you just love Marshall's! I wish I had one close by. Those are sharp napkin rings! Love the spode flatware too!

    Very nice, Patti! I am particularly drawn to the candlesticks with their sleek little shape. Very pretty!

    LOVE the tablecloth! The dishes are so pretty and what fun flatware! The pedestal is so graceful and looks wonderful in your dining room!

    Patti, your tablescape is beautiful. What a treat to sit there! But I've seen some of the things you serve to guests. . . I wouldn't care if I had to stand up the whole time I was in your house. It would be a treat just to be there!

    Patti...LOVE your table!! We have a small dining room with THREE walls, but not much space;-) We have a round table too. But I love the pedestal base on yours. The tablescape is lovely as well. Your dishes all go so well together.

    BTW-where in central NY are you? There are a few of us "tablescapers" from Utica!

    Happy Thanksgiving!!
