OMG, I must be in the minority here.  Pink overload!  I like a touch of pink, especially when mixed with a soft green, but that's way too much for me.  I suspect Barbie would love it though.

I love all of the decor, china, settings, just beautiful!!!  The plates with the bird decor are my favorites although it is difficult to pick a favorite among such lovely pieces!!!  I too have vintage china, Limoges and Coalport which my mother had and loved.   Thanks for bringing back memories of how my mother loved her antiques!!!! .

@Oznell   It's beautiful!  Love the pink plates and cute tarts.  

 

One of my friends her table and presentations are fabulous.  She rarely cooks so much of it is purchased but I can't take it away from her that the setting is beautiful.  I'm just surprised that  she won't even try some easy salads, desserts  or  any entrees.  Her mother will occasionally  provide an item or two.

You know, every now and then, a person needs an injection of pink.

@Oznell I can well imagine storing all of the stuff.  Because I am now getting rid of it.  I loved it.  We traveled a lot and I was in outlet shops (back in the day when even Villeroy and Boch had one--Lenox--Waterford and Wedgwood) and antique shops in the South.  

 

Now I'm getting rid of it.  But I loved using it back in the day when we had people over.  Just found a HUGE box of napkins of all sorts in the attic!  Pink and green toile among my favorites!  Woman LOL

Not my style, but I would be quite impressed if I were invited to sit at this table.


When I have guests I try to set a nice table.  It looks great until the food is served when I have to remove half the stuff to accommodate the food.  Maybe a need a bigger table!

Sometimes I wish I was a "pretty" person, but I am not. If you were invited to my home  for lunch you might find yourself eating out of a white cardboard carton with chopsticks on the sofa with feet up on the ottoman! 

 

These pink tablescapes so much remind me of a dear aunt who "mother henned" us after my mom died. She lost her husband at a very early age and never remarried (although she did have a special someone). 

 

She decorated her entire home in pink. It was very feminine and very lovely. I miss her.
