A Table Full of Veggies!

What a wonderful time of year for the tabletop! An abundance of fresh vegetables is pouring in from the garden and the farm stand. This vintage victory garden tablecloth sets a perfect stage for enjoying summer's bounty!



These cloths were popular during the World War II years to promote and celebrate home gardening for the war effort. I think this cloth can still inspire a green thumb and whet your appetite for a fresh-picked feast.

Anthropomorphic veggie salt and peppershakers from the 50's and 60's make sure that you are cleaning your plate...





Your plates are post-86 Fiesta dinnerware in cinnabar and vintage Riviera pieces in green, red, ivory and yellow.







Your napkin is a modern vegetable print paired with a Crate and Barrel napkin ring that's reminiscent of Bakelite.



Your glassware is vintage Anchor Hocking Rainbow.



Bakelite flatware completes the table.







A lid-less Riviera syrup pitcher serves as a creamer.





I hope you're ready to eat your veggies!
