PLACE SETTINGS -- Mix and Mismatch
There is an art to setting a table with mismatched china, in the British landed-gentry style, and Regina McMenamin knows it. She makes place settings in which the patterns -- with common themes like modern graphics, pink flowers, geisha girls or Blue Willow -- are different but resonant. She started her company, Let's Dish, in December in Manhattan. Ms. McMenamin, who is the advertising and promotions manager for the Four Seasons restaurant, says she haunts antiques shops and flea markets daily to add to her collection of 300 pieces. A five-piece setting starts at $90. Information: (212) 288-6958.
