Tablescape with Books

Rainy dreary winter makes me crave substantial colors and tablescapes during the winter.  It's akin to eating soups and stews during this time.  Something that fills the eyes and senses can be a requirement for me during the cold months. Something I love to do is pull out vintage books to meld and bulk up the table together.  Picking up the green color in the tablecloth, I brought out these green vintage books that help build up the table.  Purple goblets pick up the hues in the dinner plates.  Silver sugar and creamer help make the table feel more special.

It commemorates the inauguration of George Waf hington at Federal Hall, New York, April 30, 1789. It actually misspells the Washington name.

    That is the old English long form of the letter S. It was used in the days of handwritten manuscripts. They were trying to make the info on the back of the plate look a LOT older than the plate actually is.
    Lovely dishes AND tablescape, and I too look for lots of beautiful color in the long days of January and February. Thank you for the tip about Etsy and hydrangeas. I will have to get over there and check it out!
    Blessings,
