I seem to be in a brown and cream mood lately. Maybe I'm just saving the color for Christmas. At any rate, I'm loving my cream dishes, and brown transferware, and beige napkins, with the dull gleam of vintage silverplate cutlery. Add a bowl of rosy red grapes, and a lovely sweet pear, and I'm good to go.
Perfectly lovely :-) I especially love the transfer ware platter and of course your flatware always catches my eye!
ReplyDeleteOk Mary, when you decide that you want a whole new look - just send this stuff my way. Will that be anytime soon??

Hi, Mary
ReplyDeleteI haven't stopped by in awhile (busy with my new career in real estate--yay!) so congrats on the Community Blogger Award! You are delightful, funny, and very inspirng!
Blessings,

I love cream dishes. I have a set of Edme Plain or Queen's Ware from Wedgwood. It is great as you can change the accessories to match any season of mood. I love the brown transferware combined with it. And I must say your turkey platter is so pretty.

The brown transferware looks beautiful with the silverware. We have a large set of the transferware, started through a yardsale find. I discovered a boxful of dishes under a table, bought them, and then proceeded to spend the next many years adding to the set. We now have settings for 30 people, and the pieces have come from, VT, Mass, CT, NJ, and ebay...can you say mania?? It looks beautiful though...especially for the holidays. I love pairing it with pink. Susan
ReplyDeleteHi Susan, just the thought of all those lovely dishes is making me drool! :) I only have service for six, and no cups and saucers. It has taken me a couple of years to gather them -- they are all reproduction Spode. I would love to have some really old ones, though!
ReplyDeletexoxo,

Mary,
ReplyDeleteLove the brown. I am trying to start a brown collection after years of blue. Just got 2 cups and saucers from Des over at Peeking Thru the Sunflowers! The brown always seems like something Marmee and the girls would have had in Little Women.

I have always loved brown transfer ware and this looks so perfect for Thanksgiving!!!
ReplyDeleteDear Mary...these brown and white dishes are so pretty. My mother had a wonderful complete set, including all the bowls, serving pieces, for 8...Spode, from England. One of the largest sets I've ever seen; platters, bowls, salt and pepper shakers... It is now the shining spot in my daughter's breakfast room. Her dad built a shelf all around the room, just to display these lovely dishes on. I'll take a pic of it someday soon to show them to you.
ReplyDeleteYou have some lovely pieces!
