Welcome Fall




Fall is a time to bring out those warm toned accessories. My favorite china is Orchard Gold by Aynsley. Unfortunately, it is pricey, so my collection is limited. Dahlias are still blooming plentifully, so I cut armloads for bouquets. Soon we will be putting out some tiny pumpkins and gourds. Now where have I hidden my Dept 56 autumn fruit stand???

Hi Millie
The colors in your photos are beautiful. I love that Aynsley china too. My mother had a couple of cups and saucers in that pattern. Thanks for joining the party.
hugs, Rhondi

Hi Millie! What a beautiful arrangement you created. I love dahlias and never grew them until 2 yrs. ago. I really appreciate your nice words about my arrangements, especially coming from you. I spent a good bit of time looking through your photos earlier today. Beautiful pictures. I was hoping to find a few more Christmas arrangements that you have done. Is there a section where I might find those? I could always use new inspiration !

Victoria…and Me

To see larger photos, click to enlarge.. The May-June 2009 Victoria magazine is one of my favorites, featuring blue and white... one of the open pages with an article on linens...it just happens that I have one of the patterns... There is also a feature on blue and white Wedgewood ... I have photographed some of my pieces alongside the article... ....here is my interpretation of blue and white... As a nod to the current issue of Victoria, which features some tea tables in green, I have  set out my own little tea table, with some scones... ...or perhaps you'd like to help yourself to a chocolate-cherry morsel? On this spring day, I am joining in with : Celebrate Spring http://blissfulrhythm.blogspot.com/ Mary's Mosaic Monday, on whose blog you will see some lovely snowdrops: http://dearlittleredhouse.blogspot.com/2011/03/mosaic-monday-snowdrops.html Also,   Sandi is having a special tea party today, so be sure to go over there and enjoy her lovely blog
