SUNDAY CELEBRATION

 

HAPPY ST PATRICK'S DAY

I have enjoyed decorating

various tables over the years

and finding green items for

a St Patrick's Day theme (though

I am not Catholic I enjoy it just for

the fun).  This little reel reflects

many such times going back through

photos from the past:

  

MARCH ARRIVES WITH GREEN TRANSFERWARE

 

With the arrival of March, I was

excited to reset the dining area table

with the green transferware that I

 have been collecting.

This is actually a Battenberg

bed cover I am using for a table

cloth which explains the deeper

drop on the sides.  The topper is linen

with brighter green cutwork embroidery.

I have two sizes of tablecloths that

 my Grandmother embroidered for me shortly after I was married

56 years ago.  There are 2 sets of

embroidered napkins too. 

 I used some of the stained 

napkins to make

a tea cozy years ago.

I find green transferware hard to find

and especially this Johnson Brothers

pattern called "The Florentine".

This covered dish

was my most

recent find:

We still had some

snow a few days

ago but we have

also enjoyed some

warmer days and

everyone is looking

forward to spring.

FEBRUARY MEANS TIME FOR VIOLETS

 

As soon as Valentines Day

is over I begin to think

about violets!

We just got 3" of snow which isn't

really much but I will say Zero

degrees doesn't feel great on

the skin!  That's unusual for our

area of Missouri.

There are always things to do in the

winter:  sewing, baking or

crafting.  We don't mind staying in as 

we re-watch a little of the

Downton Abbey series each day.

I have collected violet themed

items for years and mix it together

with my purple transferware:

I hope your winter is going

along well!

Hope your week is wonderful....

MADE ONE FOR MYSELF

 

I thought I'd make a little cozy 

for myself today.

I had this fabric from years

back.

We really aren't doing anything

special.  It is cold and it

is supposed to snow

tomorrow.

Do you mind winter?  I enjoy

the slowdown myself.

I should have including some

Valentine Sugar Cookies but

 they seem to have

"disappeared".
