I am sure, just like you, I love the arrival
of pansies in the springtime.
I have collected pansy related china pieces
for years. On the table are both English and
pieces from China.
I so admire the old vintage embroidery and in
this case, the appliqued work. I was never one
to do detail long term projects but I do admire
them immensely. This topper has little tea
napkins to match.
I have shared this cosy before that I made
from an old runner.
I clipped some pansy blooms from the garden.
We have enjoyed lovely weather this week.
I love the spring in Missouri.
I did not paint the metal holder but have
had it for many years. Someone was sure
talented.
These dessert plates (above) were English
Crown Dorset from the 90's.
I am remembering all the snow we used to
get in Colorado in the month of April. I feel
a little guilty sharing the flowers from our
garden but just remember if you are having
that snow now you will probably be enjoying
cool evenings and afternoons this summer
and here in Missouri it will be high up in
the 90's with high humidity.
The green box is well painted and looks quite good with the table setting. Your pansies have done well this Spring. I used to put some in the flower bed and in pots on the porch, but you know how deer love fresh salad, lol. So I admire the ones I see in the greenhouse only.
ReplyDeleteI love all of your beautiful pansy decor, china, and that tea cozy made from an old embroidered table runner is just stunning! I have some vintage embroidery from my husband's grandmother, and I'm always trying to think of ways to use it, but sadly some has become stained with age. I may have to look and see if I have anything that could be used like that. (Although I don't know how to make the tea cozy!) Your table setting is truly lovely and it makes me want to have a spring tea party so much. Thank you for sharing your beauties with us. This is so inspiring!!
ReplyDeleteThey are my favourite flower. I also have a soft spot for Sweet Peas.
ReplyDeleteI basically collect china with any flower but roses.
Pansies are a favorite of mine and your collection is so delightful. Your linens are simply a treasure, lovingly handmade. It’s always such a treat to see your table and gardens, thank you. Have a happy day, Virginia
ReplyDeleteYour pansy theme is so pretty, Bernideen. I do love that beautiful topper with matching napkins. Your handmade tea cosy is perfect on your table.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely collection! I love pansies and especially love planting them in my fairy pots in the summer. :)
