Soups On ~ Dinner For Three

Soups On!

I had overnight guests recently when my precious 

cousins were in town to help an elderly aunt.

Our table had been set for the upcoming 

Valentine's Day Tablescape Hop

which can be found here.

It was an easy transformation!

I simply traded the Courtly Check chargers 

for Rosy Check and added a bowl for soup.

The bowls were a local thrift store find several months ago.  

They are vintage MKC enamel ware in the Bathing Hut pattern.

I scored six of these with 2 lids.  

I used these fluted Granny Smith Lollipop 

salad plates for our side salads. 

Then I used the pink stripe Bathing Hut bowls atop scalloped dinner plates in Brighton Pavilion from the Taylor Series produced long ago.

The Valentine's table was set either end for two, 

so I simply added  a third place setting on the side.

I pulled in one of my Arte Italica Crown Linen Designs

ruffled velvet placemats in a yummy rose color.

Pewter napkin rings are also Arte Italica and flatware is

Black Tie, retired ceramic MKC flatware in Courtly Check.

I left the whimsical 

Glitter Ville snowmen mugs.

But I traded out white linen napkins, 

for a cute pink and green plaid.

A wooden heart bowl holds yummy dinner rolls, and the fresh butter sits on a small MacKenzie-Childs Rose Cottage scalloped dish.

A bottle of Pessimist 

red wine is ready to pour.

I served a delicious cheese soup 

from a local restaurant.

Dessert was creme brûlée served in a martini glass placed within a darling MKC Katey McFarlan Special Edition berry bowl from 2023.

Use what you have.  Use the good stuff!

Treat your guests to fun, whimsical table settings.
