With the July heat on I thought it was time
to set the dining room table with an "all
about roses" theme. We are in the 90 degree
range now everyday it seems and eager to
stay in where it is cool. I made a big bouquet
with garden flowers which is always fun.
from older damask fabric and also the
center cut work topper which is a favorite with
me! Someone made it long ago - but not me.
I got out all my rose type teapot and many
of those in the armoire were Crown Dorsets from England from
the 1990's era. The others were
various English brands.
I have been selling some of my tea things on
Etsy but of course I am not eager to part
with these pieces yet....
It seems like we all have similar and
different favorites and I do love roses.
I certainly understand that not everyone
shares my passion for English china,
collecting and table setting but then
I realize some do or else you probably
wouldn't even be here.
