Autumn Tea

?
I am using my Evesham by Royal Worcester today. Many years ago,I started out with a few bowls my Mom brought back from a trip to England where they visited the factory, and had a few pieces shipped home. I fell in love with the pattern and bought a few items to start a tea set. My dear husband then gave me the plates, etc. for 8. Since then I have added many pieces.

I baked a rustic plum tart, using the remaining pastry from apple pies I made a few days ago.
  
Coffee will go well with the plum dessert, so I brought out the coffee server.



 The centerpiece is a vintage cornucopia I bought for my Mom in about 1960 at Red Wing, Mn. I filled it with faux foliage and flowers.
I decorated the mantel with lights and ropes of leaves, as it is so gloomy and cloudy these days...I thought it would cheer things up a bit...

I hope you are enjoying autumn wherever you are!

OMGoodness, your table is so lovely. Using the Evesham was an inspired idea. I was just learning and researching about Evesham, because I found two egg coddlers.
