~~~ A Tropical Luncheon~~~

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">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.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKWJ9eIyakIOrZiv7bUeRI9D1F2DG8YTAGZQjzoAiliuUCekELps0OiSSBcndw4obCRpimXGQTO0qaLoxOiLGVxePx20b1PqOxYsmex_lEtPCZN-RtOrdsloFLE7GBTGIEMbEO0oXkRnjx/s1600/IMG_0142.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" lda="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKWJ9eIyakIOrZiv7bUeRI9D1F2DG8YTAGZQjzoAiliuUCekELps0OiSSBcndw4obCRpimXGQTO0qaLoxOiLGVxePx20b1PqOxYsmex_lEtPCZN-RtOrdsloFLE7GBTGIEMbEO0oXkRnjx/s640/IMG_0142.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> I used my centerpiece that is so natural looking. And the tiki S and P stay on the table all the time.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqwvP4OEb6N8YJRIyifxm0chUuW3W-9MCibYb1VY4NSBWBf2igIi5ntcsMN0qtcBVVMdu8wPC04Nt5neNgdH_RdB3jJkUW2k0AuAuJ3MfO_r3jLRcGpfXF8IcBxTx_Qx_1JCEx0GR6poyf/s1600/IMG_0124.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" lda="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqwvP4OEb6N8YJRIyifxm0chUuW3W-9MCibYb1VY4NSBWBf2igIi5ntcsMN0qtcBVVMdu8wPC04Nt5neNgdH_RdB3jJkUW2k0AuAuJ3MfO_r3jLRcGpfXF8IcBxTx_Qx_1JCEx0GR6poyf/s640/IMG_0124.JPG" width="480" /></a></div> 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.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuT0JobJRY2se9N_sM9r9ZcYPXW_qjONu7GdM7nX3P7W4Amry18FsekE1CRwQKHG5C8zTg5a5bX8c9v29ZvAQhNSR-JyCRujVcDBTUgjj2bA3macO7xh0Hz_fFGoV7k3wQbS3mIVBUuNyl/s1600/IMG_0125.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" lda="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuT0JobJRY2se9N_sM9r9ZcYPXW_qjONu7GdM7nX3P7W4Amry18FsekE1CRwQKHG5C8zTg5a5bX8c9v29ZvAQhNSR-JyCRujVcDBTUgjj2bA3macO7xh0Hz_fFGoV7k3wQbS3mIVBUuNyl/s640/IMG_0125.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> 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.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBeNFm-DpLfU6mChDhIK0Q9ELq7hdHoOzmhm5eN0XP8FrdoBy2ZViVbzh5xiBr-ugAnrfvQgvJEHlXSgevBwIb4swLgkUqpfIku4ytI5CgJgclU7noUQbxcb-ZpU_DYVIcX3kOlcwvto7C/s1600/IMG_0126.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" lda="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBeNFm-DpLfU6mChDhIK0Q9ELq7hdHoOzmhm5eN0XP8FrdoBy2ZViVbzh5xiBr-ugAnrfvQgvJEHlXSgevBwIb4swLgkUqpfIku4ytI5CgJgclU7noUQbxcb-ZpU_DYVIcX3kOlcwvto7C/s640/IMG_0126.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> They are gathered simply with a green napkin ring.

Palm tree dishes and accessories are in my kitchen for winter!!!! Here is my table and hutch. I will share the rest of the kitchen tomorrow. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguGLH0B5312Ux5dgjcbMpPP81yFxYn_eeRd59Ub37QR6UhagkgMfWukaxhQUc8ERqQlIvcKmP_YlNdvfxVZMp0NEAo5TjQwr9vi9jDSYl2U-rlbkjpe9O66jfs3bjqeURFdHnmyiicJDmZ/s1600/IMG_0827.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" kba="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguGLH0B5312Ux5dgjcbMpPP81yFxYn_eeRd59Ub37QR6UhagkgMfWukaxhQUc8ERqQlIvcKmP_YlNdvfxVZMp0NEAo5TjQwr9vi9jDSYl2U-rlbkjpe9O66jfs3bjqeURFdHnmyiicJDmZ/s640/IMG_0827.JPG" width="480" /></a></div>I have a bamboo runner that is black and tan on the table .

It has bunnies, chicks etc. on it but in a very subtle pattern.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhubPgQ30hZOrPyhqp65fLuIWgUmO48UISl09qDOAf8Yceno7-qFHneXGrK3erISwOooXFJLG-lEnEEX3CUchkft_7Kn1QCVdInoHJFVrtz8_bWqhK7_PIaAInGdYGpdLh55FUpm_rYqnKr/s1600/IMG_6660.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240px" i8="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhubPgQ30hZOrPyhqp65fLuIWgUmO48UISl09qDOAf8Yceno7-qFHneXGrK3erISwOooXFJLG-lEnEEX3CUchkft_7Kn1QCVdInoHJFVrtz8_bWqhK7_PIaAInGdYGpdLh55FUpm_rYqnKr/s320/IMG_6660.JPG" width="320px" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2Jjuzo34IyrT_m4Pi6uMKwqVZR4DMkliPPCET7m-AjWoIXpstvjHpXf2fMuc6fn3qoaFNPbok7sSVA_DIhh5FYGvP9hyphenhyphenyYCSxJt3moOD64X6t0VmRnKGLlNCXjiHrqtw_Tk-SjjF34doG/s1600/IMG_6661.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240px" i8="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2Jjuzo34IyrT_m4Pi6uMKwqVZR4DMkliPPCET7m-AjWoIXpstvjHpXf2fMuc6fn3qoaFNPbok7sSVA_DIhh5FYGvP9hyphenhyphenyYCSxJt3moOD64X6t0VmRnKGLlNCXjiHrqtw_Tk-SjjF34doG/s320/IMG_6661.JPG" width="320px" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjw0c7I8wAuv4oEo7MEE0MoOYPId3f5NlisrYex_7ZeUI0nxx_0drCKjC_6CU_2Hahpecxaf142hoHP8Sd0LlytsJbtxr8segz4Qw9OiW3oDmJlBdFZW6D7jc-YNoTNqD1UpfIQsJhyWWSK/s1600/IMG_6662.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240px" i8="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjw0c7I8wAuv4oEo7MEE0MoOYPId3f5NlisrYex_7ZeUI0nxx_0drCKjC_6CU_2Hahpecxaf142hoHP8Sd0LlytsJbtxr8segz4Qw9OiW3oDmJlBdFZW6D7jc-YNoTNqD1UpfIQsJhyWWSK/s320/IMG_6662.JPG" width="320px" /></a></div> Next, I took an egg wreath to encircle....<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh020Tt5AyoNn6JeFX1oae0R2VFS8a5FDuoOKUh4rc2BR2gcYdtwiNaWQJ7Tqw_rcBnIBvszsJBTYE83ZxXtSviz9gxaDQcIFFsZGIVvwuTJNrK6a4tw4BHP5qYvw6vmZYjNd3gPVSbHeAG/s1600/IMG_6663.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240px" i8="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh020Tt5AyoNn6JeFX1oae0R2VFS8a5FDuoOKUh4rc2BR2gcYdtwiNaWQJ7Tqw_rcBnIBvszsJBTYE83ZxXtSviz9gxaDQcIFFsZGIVvwuTJNrK6a4tw4BHP5qYvw6vmZYjNd3gPVSbHeAG/s320/IMG_6663.JPG" width="320px" /></a></div>my LARGE "chocolate" bunny!
