Let's Dish ~ Sara's Flowers by Vietri



Let's Dish ~ Sara's Flowers

It's no secret that I admire 

the beautiful ceramics of Vietri.  

I've shared previous posts on 

Vietri patterns here, here, and here.  





The salad plate in the 

place setting shown in this beautiful 

table set at one of my favorite local shops

is part of Sara Bellini's beautiful series, Sara's Flowers. 




The colorful Italian ceramic

 sits atop a square glass plate in deep purple, 

followed by an exquisite 

Annie Glass dinner plate with ruffled gold edge. 

The beautiful stack of plates sit

on a round charger in woven rattan. 

Love the juxtaposition of elegant glass pieces 

with the casual look and feel of the pottery and rattan.




More glass serving pieces accented with gold,

delicate crystal stems, and purple tumblers 

add to the richness of this tablescape.






Love the gold embossed details!



Individual place cards will make 

each guest feel special.




Especially when the details on the 

card mirror these exquisite orchids in the centerpiece.





This particular plate features a pot of Lilac blooms.




Lilacs don't thrive in the Texas heat, 

but I've other beautiful flowers 

blooming in my spring garden.

Come back to visit on Friday, June 1st for

Favorites on the First @ Polohouse

when bloggers will share their own gardens.



I'll be spotlighting Sarah's Flowers.

The summer we married, my husband was in graduate school, and I was employed as a teacher. We took a portion of our savings that summer and purchased a sailboat. We christened our Catalina 22, “Hyacinths For The Soul” after Saadi’s poem. Our "Hyacinths" provided years of pleasure.

    Sarah this is such a lovely pattern from Vietri. I love the colors in Sara's Flowers with the deep purple. I always admire different shapes and sizes used to create a place setting. A beautiful and elegant tablescape. Thanks for sharing it Sarah.

    Another belle table, Sarah. I must ask: Do you keep all of that fabulous tableware at home? If so, you must have the largest kitchen cabinets to be found this side of the proverbial pond... Veronique (French Girl in Seattle)

    Thank you for the thoughtful compliments, but I was just the photographer on this one. All the pretty tableware in this post was inventory in a local store.

I would like to invite you to come to Your Cozy Home Party sometime if you think you would be interested. It is each Mon. at 8 pm.

    That looks like a store I need to visit the next time I'm in your area! Would you mind sending me the name of it? I always love seeing Vietri pieces -- and usually need to touch them, too!

    When I first saw the plates, I thought the flowers on them were hyacinth and thought, "Oh, wow...she found hyacinth plates at a place called Sara's! How cool is that??!?!" I do see now that they are lilacs, but it's still cool! I had no idea lilacs weren't a staple in Texas. They're all over the place here in Spring! I'm looking at some white Dutch lilac here in my office as I type! Your glasses are beautiful. I love the gold detailing on them. And whatever that gold leaf serving piece is on that cake stand(?)...it is p-r-e-t-t-y!!!!!!! The ruffled gold edge of those dinner plates is fabulous! Wow...such pretty details for a gorgeous table! Enjoy your weekend!!!!!!

    Sarah~ I love Vietri, I used to get a cheap thrill popping in the showroom in Atlanta at market to see what was new & drool! What a vibrant design~ I wish we cold grow lilacs here too, too hot. I keep thinking they'll introduce a variety that's more heat tolerant, I'll keep my fingers crossed! Hope your garden is overflowing with blooms :)

    Sarah,
    I think I mentioned to you in an email how lovely your home and garden are, but just in case I forgot (our chats have been fun) it really is so pretty. I'm encouraged by the flowers and plants in your yard and will tell my son and DIL how many more things they can grow.

    I'm with you when it comes to Vietri creations. One of these days I may even be lucky enough to own some. I keep looking at TJ Maxx, Marshall's, etc. hoping to find a few pieces at lesser price.
