I've Got the Autumn Blues (and Purples)

Well, I stopped by Crate & Barrel the other day and stumbled upon these absolutely gorgeous Mrya embroidered placemats.  Did I need more table linens?  No.  Did I bring them home with me anyway?  You bet!


I chose to use the floral placemats as a runner, lined up end-to-end...



since I also found these great eggplant-colored grass mats (Tropical Palm Plum) and napkins (Aubergine), also from the Crate.


Certainly these are bound to mix and match with pieces I already have.  (Ah...the famous last words of a dish-aholic.)


My beautiful navy blue plates (The Blues by Arabia of Finland) are old favorites.


I love the way these cobalt and gold stemmed wine glasses and water goblets (Crate & Barrel...circa late 80's) tie it all together.


Having the blues can be a pretty sweet thing.  Make sure to stop by Between Naps on the Porch to see what my fellow tablescapers are up to this week!

    Dynamic and exciting tablescape! I would have come home with the place mats, too. We don't have Crate & Barrel...wish that we did. The goblets are gorgeous. Thank you for sharing your delightful design. Cherry Kay
