Friendly Village Dishes Four Ways

I love my Friendly Village dishes 

that I found at an Estate Sale for a steal.  

I get happy when the holidays 

roll around so that I can bring them 

out of dish storage.  

They are perfect on their own 

but I also like to pair them with 

other dishes to mix it up a bit.  

One year I used my Aqua dishes as an accent.  

I really loved the way 

the aqua picked up the colors in the dishes. 

Another one of my favorite place settings 

was this rustic table with plaid napkins, 

natural elements 

and acorn frames used as chargers.

This was such a fun table 

that I might replicate it sometime this year.

For a more traditional setting 

all of the bling came out of the cabinets.  

I used my best silver, crystal goblets and 

fancy monogrammed napkins.

The dishes alone are so captivating 

with their rural country scenes.  

I never get tired of looking at them.

This year I wanted 

a more casual look to the table.  

I used my green cabbage plates 

as an accent and black and white buffalo checked 

napkins to keep it less formal.

I loved the way the buffalo check 

popped on the white tablecloth.  

The green cabbage plates 

really brought out the green 

in the leaves around the edges of the plate.

Silverware from World Market 

seemed like the perfect match for this table.  

I placed flowers in mason jars 

and wrapped the jars with burlap ribbon 

for an elegantly rustic touch.  

I lined four of the vases down the center of the table.

With my turkey platter in the middle it was the perfect, simple, casual table!  

How many ways have you used your heirloom dishes?  

Until Next Time,
