Vintage Lace & Roses Table

Carol Tablescapes

For the last few months, I’ve had my vintage lace tablecloth on the dining table many days.  It reminds me of my mother who nearly always had a lace tablecloth on our dining table.  Recently, I got a wonderful find in vintage American china by Homer Laughlin. One plate is in the Homer Laughlin China Virginia Rose E 37 N 8 pattern. There are several patterns with the name Virginia Rose – it’s the designation E 37 N 8 that tells you it was a pattern introduced in the 1930’s.

The second plate by Homer Laughlin was made for the Home Institute in the Priscilla  pattern.

I used woven mats on the lace tablecloth  with woven napkin rings and coasters. I love the contrast between shiny crystal and china and the soft lace against woven grasses – sort of ying and yang.  Adding texture always makes a happy combination.

My centerpiece is pink and white roses with alstroemeria.

I’m also using the vintage tea cups and saucers I got this spring at a church yard sale. One has no markings while the other is stamped Royal Halsey on the saucer.  It is exquisite.

I hope you enjoyed my soft rose table.

Thanks for the visit.

    1. I have no idea how old it is. I got it at a thrift store. It’s a little long for my table, but I don’t care beause it’s so beautiful

  2. I really like the effect of the lace on the woven mats. You got the tea cups and saucers at a yard sale, wow. They are so delicate and pretty.

    1. A local church had a “yard sale” in the parking lot one Friday in May. There was a lady just retired who was downsizing and sold me her last 2 cups and saucers from her collection. $1 each set – unbelievable.

  4. It would never have occurred to me to combine lace with woven mats. So pretty! The Royal Halsey teacup is gorgeous.

    Thank you for stopping by. I hope you find the walnut crunch green tea.

  6. Hi Carol! I love vintage lace tablecloths and have my grandmother’s on my dining room table all scrunched up around a barn wood box that my late beloved made for me. Your plates and teacups are so pretty and I love the mix of them. Your flowers are so pretty, too.
