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

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.
What wonderful tablescape... Gorgeous dishes... Precious tablecloth... Really breathtaking! Best wishes.
ReplyDeleteYour lovely St. Patrick's Day table setting brings hope for an early Spring here. I have Colts Foot wild plants blooming and my

I love your March look! Such pretty dishes but that tablecloth just took my breath away and what a treasure that your Grandmaw made it.
ReplyDeleteOh Bernideen, what a treasure to have that embroidered tablecloth from the loving hands of your grandmaw (I called mine mammaw). I’m am swooning over those Johnson Bros dishes!! I have never seen that pattern. How perfect it is for St. Patrick’s Day. How beautiful your flat bottomed tea cozy is!! You’re so talented.
