~~~ A Tropical Luncheon~~~

HI everyone! It is so good to be back. I thought I would set a table to show you our everyday dishes that we use during the cold dreary days of winter. I LONG for tropical skies and surroundings during the winter so surround myself with items that bring that feeling to mind. I got these new rattan chargers on our recent trip to Fl. My sister took me to a World Market near her. We used to have a World Market up here  but they closed???? I love that store!  So I grabbed these cahrgers when I saw them. I decided to use them on this table because I love the dark contrast with the lighter hues of the table setting. As you can see the dinner plate has tropical leaves around the edge and the salad plates have 4 different palm trees depicted.

 I used my centerpiece that is so natural looking. And the tiki S and P stay on the table all the time.

 I found the palm tree juice glasses at CTS a few years ago. Love their shape and size. They are hand painted though and have to be hand washed.

 At first I used a tan napkin paired with the leaf one but liked the crisp white one to go better with the tablecloth. The leaves on the napkin closely resemble the leaves on the edge of the dinner plate.

 They are gathered simply with a green napkin ring. The different SHADES of green blend nicely, I think.

 Here is another of the salad plates.

 I love this little votive holder. I found it years ago before tablescaping, so only have ONE:( So, the guest of honor will get it at their place:):)

 Another salad plate. This is the banana palm.

 I also have this pretty platter. I placed it on a palte holder for you to see.

 Here are some details of the tablecloth. I love the bamboo and the palm trees.

 Maybe someday I will get to live in a warm climate.....but I doubt it. So, I just dream.
