March meant it was time for a changein the hearth dining area. A bouquet
was simple since the pussy willow out
front is now in full bloom.
My Grandmaw (that's what we called her) made me this tablecloth
and napkins as a wedding gift, nearly
56 years ago. She worked on embroidery every night.
The thread was bright green
and there were 2 tablecloths with
matching napkins.
I recently started collecting JohnsonBrothers, The Florentine which I love.
It is an expensive transferware pattern
and hard to find since it is now 100
years old. I don't have a set yet but will
continue to look and mix it with other pieces.
tea cozy out of 2 of
the napkins a few
years back.
Recently I redid
my design by
removing the elastic
bottom, putting a flat bottom piece on it. I had also added
much more polyfil batting inside.
Over in the kitchen, a decoration Imade years back: I guess I am old
school still loving crafts.

I am excited to say I found a little "Green Basket" bouillon cup and saucer on
Etsy.
I have 2 more Johnson Brothers green The Florentine plates coming in the mail so I will have a total of 7 plates. Right now I can't fill the table completely with just 5.
