Corner of Plaid and Paisley

In the past few years my interests have grown from fabric to paper and now to dishes too! I just love prints, polkadots, plaids and paisleys- hence the blog name. I am also a Stampin' Up! demonstrator.

Hi, I am Ann, a self proclaimed dish hoarder. I have a penchant for anything plaid, polka dot, or paisley. I love mixing patterns and colors. This has evolved into paper projects as well. What started as a creative outlet is now my full time passion, I am now an Independent Demonstrator for Stampin' Up! I created this page as a way to share my inspiration and ideas with others! I have a wonderful supportive family; a great husband, three kids, and two grandsons. We are very active with our church and volunteering with various groups . My husband and I bought a fixer upper on a small lake several years ago and are having fun updating it. We enjoy the water and golfing together. Thanks for stopping by :)

What a darling table Ann! I didn’t know vampires suffer from Arithmomania - so glad you provided all the dots, stripes and checks to keep them counting and busy! I always love a peek at your décor and seeing the bats fluttering up your fireplace. You have the most adorable tricks up your sleeve and treat boxes to pair with your tables. I’m happy to Eat, Drink and Be Scary this time of year and join you for a little spooky fun this week!
ReplyDeleteOh dear...I love garlic and I honestly think I suffer from arithmomania too, so I'm surely in good company at this table! I laughed out loud when you said we (ahem, I mean THEY) could start counting the hobnails and polka dot napkins. This is an adorable table, Ann. Count me in!! ;)
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute table! When I first read the title, I was expecting kind of creepy/scary, but then when I spotted those cute little vampire plates, they brought a smile to my face! The combination of black and white patterned plates with the vampire is great! Thanks for joining in another hop! Happy Halloween!
ReplyDeleteI am starting my day with a lot of smiles Ann, this is over the top cute and so much fun! I did not know Count Von Count suffered from Arithomania, so smart of you to set the table with so many patterns to keep him occupied! Ha, but I do love the stripes and the dramatic black and white really makes the adorable plates pop! Your treat boxes are extra cute fun, and your hobnail glasses are wonderful! Love it all!!!

Ann, your table is so darling. Those vampire plates do make us smile and not run the other way. Love the added checks and stripes with those cute face plates. The polka dots are so fun. How different to see the Hobnail glasses in a dark color. Flickering candles make this table so dramatic.So fun you shared Count Von Count suffered from arithomania. We learn something each day. Love the coffin treat boxes, an added party favor creatively made by you. A pleasure joining you on this blog hop. Happy Monday.
ReplyDeleteAnn, how absolutely darling! (Or should I say a sweet spooky.) I thought it was so cute to learn the story about Count Von Count's love for counting and you obliged him so well with all of the dots and stripes to count! I love your table (like always) including your mix of patterns. The coffin boxes are so perfect and would make a great treat box. Your Dracula plates are certainly a bargain and they won over my heart. Count Von Count is my new love. As always, it is great to blog hop with you. Have a great Halloween at this adorable table.
ReplyDeleteAnn, your Halloween table has so many darling accents. Your story reminds me of the Sesame Street character, The Count. ☺
ReplyDeleteAnn, this is the cutest table! Of course I like the stack of black and white. You have it covered with stripes, checks, and plaid. Cute vampire plates too. Wonderful fun!!!
ReplyDeleteAnn, a fun, whimsical Halloween table full of cute details. Love the black, white and purple color palette. I would never have thought to make, use polka dot napkins --- they look spooktacular! As always, you've set the table against a wonderfully decorated backdrop with your fireplace mantle too.
ReplyDeleteI love how the patterns and textures play so well together. Your decor would work for a kids or adult table. Beautiful work!
ReplyDeleteAnn, I love your table with stripes, checks, plaids, and dots! The coffin treat boxes are so cute. Who knew vampires suffered from arithmomania? The hobnail glasses are the perfect addition to your fun and charming table! The bats flying around the fireplace are the finishing touch!!
ReplyDeleteArithmomania is new to me. I have the opposite, fear of math. Your table is so fun with the black and white stripes setting the mood and the Count von count dishes are so cute. I am ready to grab a purple polka dot napkin and enjoy some treats.
ReplyDeleteOh, Ann! Those vampire plates are so fun! I love your plate stack from top to bottom! The mix of patterns is gorgeous! The black hobnail goblets with the pop of purple really completes each place setting. The coffin treat boxes are super fun, and I really adore the bottle wrap! I will have to pop back on Thursday to see how you made it’s,
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed your fun table. The stripes and checks add just the right drama and the cute little Dracula plates were a lucky find. l love the hobnail glasses. But the best part is hearing about how much you enjoy making things with Stamping Up.

Ann, your "happy vampire" plates are adorable. As always, you effortlessly mixed the patterns in your plate stack. The black and white stripes and plaid look great together!
