My "Delicious" Pfaltzgraff In The Breakfast Room

I have always loved anything made by pfaltzgraff. I have 3 complete different sets of pfaltzgraff. I have "Yorktowne" which I purchased 26 years ago shortly after getting married. "Yorktowne" has been my everyday dishes since then. I have the white "Heritage" which goes with anything. And I have "Delicious" which I have featured today in my tablescape.

I love the apples and cherries pattern.

I was sorry to see the pfaltzgraff outlet stores close down. They always had very pretty and interesting items. I now have to order from their website. I miss the "hands on" experience.


"Delicious" Dinnerware- Pfaltzgraff

Table runner and placemats- I made them with fabric from Joann's

Spring Charm Silver flatware- Wiliam Rogers & Co circa 1950's

Red Check apples- I made them about 20 years ago when I was completely into primitive country

FABbric to FABulous Easy Table Runner

I am participating in Sunday Favorites at Happy To Design. I originally posted this for Metamorphisis Monday at Between Naps On The Porch on March 28, 2010. I am new to the Blog World so I did not have anything much older.


This may be a stretch for Metamorphosis Monday, at Between Naps On The Porch but it is in fact a metamorphosis.
I have had this blue and white fabric in my stash for a while. I buy fabric when I fall in love with it even though I do not know what I will be using it for. I just stash it away until an idea hits me. I love to make machine quilts. I usually make lap size as they are so much more versatile for decorating. I also make table runners and placemats.
Since I love blue and white china(expensive or inexpensive) I thought I would try to make a runner that would echo the pattern in my blue and white dishes, accessories, etc. This is such an easy fast table runner. I didn't even quilt it or topsitch it. I just put stiff interfacing between the layers. I also made 4 placemats with leftover fabric.

Blue and White Easter

My Easter dinner this year had just a small gathering, my husband and I, my middle 24 year old son, and his girlfriend.
I decided to use my blue and white for Easter. When my Mother-in Law passed away, My father-in-Law passed on to my husband and I, a set of 20 beautiful West point Wedgewood plates. Each has a scene from different places at the academy. I love to mix them with other blue and white patterns.

I used my Grandmother's silver flatware. It is called "Spring Charm" I like that the flower pattern matches the flower on the salad plates and the cup handles.

The sterling silver cups are four of many that were won in polo matches at West Point Military Academy by my husband's father and grandfather. Most are dated 1917 to 1934. They were both champion polo players. It is very hard to photograph the engravings on the cups due to the reflection. These cups are treasures.

The place mats are the ones I made a couple weeks ago to match my table runner. I posted that for Metamorphosis Monday at Between Naps ON The Porch last week.

Bangers and Mash on my back porch

I am excited to participate in the Tablescape Thursday hosted by Between Naps On The Porch as I need the practice on posting things since I am such a newbie-not sure what I am doing.

My sister-in-law and her husband came in today from Ohio. Our weather here in Florida finally got warm today. It was 80 degrees!! We had Bangers and Mash with Guinness Gravy, salad, bread, and of course Guinness Beer on the back porch. It is nothing fancy, but I a snapped a few pictures before we sat down to eat. I bought the plates from a Noritake outlet store about ten years ago and have loved them ever since.
