What a wonderful time we had at the 2010 conference of the Homer Laughlin China Collector's Association! This year's gathering added a new event, the First Annual Tablescape Competition. For this 'scape-off, each entrant prepared a placesetting featuring Homer Laughlin dishes to fit into an 18x18 inch space. Here are the entries~
Can you guess which entry won? Can you guess which is mine? If you were at the conference, SHHHHH! Don't tell :). Please let the other guests at the table have a guess.
If there is enough interest, I'll explain why there is a 16th setting and show you a full table with my placesetting. Please let me know in your replies if you are curious about these two things...
I think these tables are a wonderful Tabletop Time to share for the 100th Tablescape Thursday at Between Naps On The Porch. Congratulations Susan! And congratulations to the winner of the Tablescape Competition!
P.S. For the answers to the questions, please visit this entry.

ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing all of the wonderful ideas. I don't think that I can pick just one. Cherry Kay
ReplyDeleteWhat fun it was to see all these tables, each with its own style! I would love to know which one. My guess is the last one is yours?
ReplyDeleteHow fun to get to see so many imaginative settings! It would be hard to pick a favorite. Yes, please do tell us which one won -- and which was yours, if you didn't win!
ReplyDeleteIt's reALLY hard to choose, but my favorite is 14 because I love the vintage table cloth. They are all wonderful. Thanks for sharing this with us!
ReplyDeleteThey are all just fantastic! So hard to pick and I have no earthly idea which one is yours, I like them all, but my favorite is #10.
ReplyDeleteHappy I found my way to your blog, aren't Susan's parties just too much fun?

All the tables are fun! I love those pink flamingos, and my mom used to have the blue dishes in # 13! Is that little cutie yours? Linda
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, what great tables...I think I would have to say my favorite is #12, it has a rooster!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great showing of these dishes! Love them all and so glad that I didn't have to pick one.
ReplyDeleteOMG, what a delightful posting. I love that you shared this with us. We are the lucky ones. I have not a clue which might be yours, but please do share with us why there are 16 tables and which one was yours. off to do some research.. this is fabulous stuff!
ReplyDeleteI have no idea which one is yours, but like the others...could it be that the little boy is a giveaway on which one it is? He's precious! My favorite tablescape is #3 because I absolutely adore Fall! Thanks for sharing these with us.
ReplyDeleteDaphne,
ReplyDeletewhat a fun such a competition. And amazing how different the patterns are and how nice the different settings are. It is really hard to decide. I love at least 10 of them and the rest is wonderfull, too. Yes, sure I am curious which one was yours and would like to hear more about the winner and your table. Thank you for sharing this fun with us.
Greetings, Johanna
I have the coffee pot to the pattern feature in #13. My fav is #9. Is that yours?
ReplyDeleteI love them all...especially number 2, 3, 9 and 15. Now something tells me there was not an Ohio plate in the Homer Laughlin line. LOL :) They were all great...the flamingo one was adorable...don't know how anyone could vote!
ReplyDeleteWhich was yours?
