I think this big 48 ounce Crown Dorset
pink teapot might be my all time favorite.
This morning I decided to set the
dining room table with random
this and that.
I have often commented on this blog about my love for mixing and matching things. I didn't have time this morning to get out the silverware. You will have to use your imagination. We all have one of those. I love old linens and old things. I have no idea why.
Like most of us - I have things from China but of course prefer English bone china and really prefer vintage pieces.
One of these days, I am going to get my courage up and start painting some of my antique furniture! Actually, that would be
my husband who I would be asking to do
just that.
Part of the problem is simple - when you were the one that stripped an old piece and did all that labor - you never forget the work it was - it is easier to tackle something and change it that you haven't already worked on!
My grandmother gave me the yellow depression glass above.....
Late note: looking back at this post, I have sold so many of these cups and saucers
and plates. I still have the pink teapot
that I love.
Gorgeous Table you have created!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous!!!!
I like the old linen, lace, table clothes and dishes as well.
A little nostalgia in present day.
The doily over the white cake stand that the tea pot is sitting on is really pretty.
Sweet blessings,

ReplyDeleteI'm in love with the idea of elevating the tea pots upon cake stands. I'll have to remember that at our ACS tea in October. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteHello Bernideen,
ReplyDeleteYour table is simply lovely! Love the layering of linens and laces; how pretty! Of course, I love your teapots and I've told you that many times before. Your china is beautiful and I really enjoy your mix of patterns. Your table is very inviting. Thank you for sharing its loveliness with Tea Time.

Hello Bernideen,
ReplyDeleteyour tea tables are always great. You own so many wonderful china and find always the matching partners. But I am always amazed by your doilies. Would love to see that pattern closer.
And sure I will join your tea time in the garden this week.

ReplyDeleteHi Bernideen,
ReplyDeleteYour antique tea table is just gorgeous! You are very fortunate to have yellow depression glass. Thank you for sharing your beautiful china with us.
This tea setting is stunning! I love the tablecloth, and your pink floral pattern china is gorgeous! Pretty teapots too, and I like how you placed them on cake stands.
