Fifteen Tables!

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.

  13. I 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.

  14. Daphne,
    what 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
