Cultural Soup

I am a mix of China, Philippine and Spain's heritage. My husband, a mix of European genetic pool. That makes our three beautiful, smart children, bonafide mutts! :-)

But today, we are simply known as an Amerasian or a Fil-Am household. And as a tablescaper, I always watched out for that perfect dinnerware set that represents what our household truly is: a beautiful mix of East and West...

Look at the colors of both flags:









The design of this adorable set is clearly Asian, but the colors clearly belong to both nations.
So I present to you... "Butterfly Blossoms" by Pier 1.
I went there after a church friend (Thank you, Stephanie!!!) tipped me off on some of their deals, but when I saw this set, I almost died! It couldn't have been more perfect!


Do you agree?

I fell head over heels so much that I grabbed all the perfect ones from one location and finished the 8 count of 3-piece placesetting sets plus napkin holders and two rectangular platters in another! The best part? Each piece were 60% off! Actually, the napkin rings were 80% off! Yes!!!

I can't wait to use these for Independence Day! I just need a beautiful blue oriental vase, some white orchids, some cool figurines, some rattan chargers.... Ooppss... I'm letting out all the secrets; that's ok, there are more I haven't said. You'll all just have to wait until July 4th to see it all! Ok, bye for now, love you all for peeking!

Niceties first

HELLO AND WELCOME to this blog dedicated to my obsession of tablescapes, and ONLY TABLESCAPES!
That means that whatever I post will be redirected to tablescapes or you will see tablescapes or the dishes and glassware that I used AND wish to use.
I hope you like you what you see; but you can't do that unless you take the tour- the TABLESCAPE TOUR that's on the side bar! I'd also love to take you on my adventures on finding great dinnerwares to display and use while leaving some serious change in your pocket, so stay a while and see all of my great deals!
Wanna know the reason behind the madness, too? Then make sure to read, Why this blog for my philosophy.
