This Tablecloth Speaks For Itself

I'm somewhat addicted to tablecloths. I bought a tablecloth on eBay recently that I couldn't resist. It's so BRIGHT. So CHEERFUL. So LOUD!
The cloth matched the glasses I've owned for more than 20 years.
I decided plain dishes would work best on this busy cloth. Side note: In this photo, notice how the glass blends right into the cloth?
As the centerpiece, I decided to display a few vintage flower frogs on a hammered aluminum two tier tray.
This table makes me happy. How does it make you feel?
Tablecloth: eBay
Linen napkins: Estate sale
Silverware: Reed & Barton stainless steel
Plates: Bed, Bath & Beyond, Fitz & Floyd Everyday Bone China, Nevaeh White
Glasses: Can't remember
Hammered Aluminum Server: Collection built over time
Flower Frogs: Collection built over time

I'll be joining Coloradolady for Vintage Thingie Thursday and Susan for Tablescape Thursday

You were wise in using the plain dishes. It would have been too much with any others on that pretty table cloth.

Can I just say ...that I think we have a lot in common. I LOVE hammered aluminum and flower frogs and vintage tablecloths and vintage glassware.
I like the way you have displayed the frogs like cupcakes on the tiered plate.
