A set of 36 bright red melamine cafeteria trays for $2.00 (anything that is a "set" or heavier than 4 lbs is a flat $2 fee)! I couldn't get them in my cart fast enough. <br /><br />I am now planning a summer picnic. Because the trays are rectangle, there's plenty of room for an old-fashioned hot-weather meal of foot-long hot dogs, several salads, and some cherry pie! I made cute white & red polka dot napkins a few years ago and pair them with a red & white gingham check, just like the one you've used here. Now to figure out which cups to use...Maria in VAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07595941051556496404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6282397331502638752.post-11664578854354234952018-05-23T16:16:52.522-05:002018-05-23T16:16:52.522-05:00AHA!!! perfect timing!

We're getting there (tornado clean-up), but it will take a long time before it looks as charming as your setting. I LOVE those L'Argent forks.

I LOVE your Burleigh Ware, "Calico" tureen(It's GORGEOUS!!!). WOW I am SO impressed you have a serving for 50 of those beautiful chargers and the metalware plates would be perfect on them... We never use paper plates for picnics. YUK! For family we use CORELLE. It's light durable and SO EASY to clean up with. I am so happy you shared this special day with us!<br />Have a wonderful weekend,<br />Hugs <br />DonnaDonna@Conghaile Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10981329702564659603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6282397331502638752.post-90966700651820720392011-06-04T08:14:01.309-05:002011-06-04T08:14:01.309-05:00Everything looks lovely.

Yum:) I love your Calico soup tureen and underplate, and really LOVE all the cheerful flower arrangements. I'm so glad to see so many families remembering our brave men and women in the armed services. They sacrifice so much that we might enjoy the good things in life.
