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!

Your table is gorgeous and the colors of Fall makes it soo cozy and inviting! Your RW dishes from your mom's trip to England are lovely and perfect for this season.
I love your cornucopia, I've never seen one around here to buy and I have always wanted one!
The tart looks yummy. The lighted mantel, all is lovely!

Millie, your Evesham china is perfect for the season! And isn't it fun collecting the other pieces to go with it. I must say, your Autumn theme is a delight to the eyes! I love your mantel decorated with leaves and lights and the cornucopia is lovely. I thoroughly enjoyed your post and I would simply love a piece of your plum tart and a cup of coffee; yum!

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.

Your table and mantel look so cozy for this time of year now that the rain has begun and the temperature is dropping. How lovely to have that set of Evesham china.

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
