June Table is Pretty in Pink


Nita thinks the June set-up you see here would be perfect for a bridal luncheon but I'm reminded of Steel Magnolias and have to call it the Pepto Bismol dinner table. The centerpiece is a collection of pinks set in an 1880s wash pitcher. On each side is an old Hull vase used to step down the height of the center. Surrounding that are almost twenty hand painted or stenciled salt and pepper containers. The silver is mismatched but the forks and knives are in the Beloved pattern first introduced in the 1940s. A monogrammed tea table cloth gives texture and depth to the pink linen one underneath. Nita had some beautiful pink bisque salt cellars but they sold the first day. Various accent pieces in pink fill in all available spots to create this celebration of June at the shop.
