But luck is always fleeting. I haven't been able to find more of them, anywhere on the planet.
I did find four Studio Nova Buffalo Plaid salad plates and four Anchor Hocking glasses that go nicely with them. At the same time, I learned there is a baby girl due to born into the family on Christmas Day. At that point, the Scotties became a part of theme, thinking of a future luncheon for the Birthday Girl.
Two Scotty vases from Marshall's. Of course, no other Marshall's has two more. It's that "luck" thing again!
So maybe with some creative photography I can hide the fact I don't have everything needed for a table for four...
.... or the fact that Hubby had some cake before I was done taking photos. Chocolate Almond with an Amaretto glaze. It smells so good - who could blame him?
Notice the plaid candles. Nope, not gonna light 'em!
Ah! Finally! One good shot that hides all the flaws. My work is done!
I'm off to join Cuisine Kathleen for Let's Dish, and
Between Naps on the Porch for Tablescape Thursday
What a cute post! I really enjoyed reading it and seeing all the plaid. I wouldn't want to light those tapers, either! The scotties are adorable. Wish I had a piece of cake right now.
ReplyDeleteI love the black and red. Those checked plates are fabulous!
ReplyDeleteThose black and red plates are something special. I do hope you find some more. Some of these stores don't have very many to build a collection. Love the Scotty dogs with the candy canes in them. Your cake sounds devine. Joni
ReplyDeleteOh, you had me at Scotties and Plaid! Don't you just hate it when you can only find two of what you really love? ;-) Just happened to me at HG this week........two cranberry Bordallo Pinheiro chargers in Clearance. Only $5 a piece, so I scooped them right up, but calls to all the other locations here didn't turn up any more. ;-( Love your red and black plaid, and the Scotties are adorable. Neiman Marcus Last Call has a cute scotty dog cookie jar. You might check out their site. Wish I had a piece of that cake for tonight...........Sarah
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness - this is the cutest table ever :)
ReplyDeleteLove the plaid! Those Scotties are so cute!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for linking to Let's Dish!
I will keep my eyes WIDE OPEN for those Scottie vases and buy them on the spot if I find them. I know how frustrating it is when you find something you really like but can't complete the set for one reason or another. I LOVE those buffalo check plates!!! Black & red is such a classically wonderful holiday combination. It always reminds me of Santa's red suit and black boots & belt! I used that color combo in our living room this year and for several tablescapes in my classes. I think sometimes people get mired into strictly red & green for Christmas. Big mistake when there are other color combos - some classic, some not - to brighten up the house for the holidays!
ReplyDeleteI love the tartan plates and the Scotties are adorable.
ReplyDeleteI live by the rule THERE ARE NO FLAWS in tablescaping! Your table is so sweet!
ReplyDeleteOh, my that little scottie could get just about anything he wanted with those puppy dog eyes! What a pretty place setting. The tartans are beautiful and I love the puppies carrying the striped candy canes. This is just wonderful and so creative!
ReplyDeleteI am so in love with your buffalo plaid chargers and plates!!! I am having a case of dish envy!! Sounds like you got a great deal on them too! The glasses are too cute! Makes for a fun table.
ReplyDeleteLove love those red and black chargers! wow. I'd love to find some of those myself. Just not any time soon! Love the scotties too. Good luck on the new arrival. What a great table to make that announcement. xo marlis
