DEVONSHIRE BY JOHNSON BROTHERS AND A GARDEN BOUQUET

 August is the perfect month to get out
my set of "Devonshire" Johnson Brothers 
 dishes which seem a little "early fall".


They are softer fall colors.



This week I am out in the garden every morning
trying to do a lot of "clean up".   Of course
this bouquet would need to go away when
eating at the table.





I was so excited when I found the teapot on
Ebay (or Etsy).  Of course, the lace Alencon
French tablecloth is definitely a favorite.  I did
some repairs to the napkins by sacrificing
the worse 2 and using the lace for repairs.









I am partial to tea cozies made with
crochet and lace.




And this one with the little doily:



I hope your summer is going well.

  3. The design on your china is beautiful. Intricate but colorful. You have made some very pretty and impressive tea cozies with a variety of cloth and doilies. Summer does seem to be flying by and since it has been so hot and humid in north Ohio, unusual too. Have a wonderful weekend.

  4. Oh Bernideen, your tablecloth, napkins and JB dishes are exquisite! I’ll bet you were excited to find the matching teapot. Of course, your table arrangement is one that only you can do so perfectly, as are your lovely tea cozies. Have a great week!

  5. I am a huge fan of Johnson Brothers. I have the set of “His Majesty” dinnerware, and I inherited service for 12 with glassware and completer pieces of “Friendly Village“ from my mother. Your table looks beautiful. I’m quite taken with those tea cozies. I don’t own a tea cozy, but I have a lot of teapots and probably should.
