When my kids were little, we always went to Wightman's Farms every autumn for apple cider and freshly made doughnuts.
And although they are not little anymore, we stopped last week and brought home both powdered and cinnamon doughnuts. Mmmmm, delicious! And I must say that their cider is some of the best I've ever had.
I made up a little tray to enjoy my autumn treat in style. The tray is lined with a placemat from Raymond Waites. The dish is brown transferware from Churchill. The goblet is pressed glass, and belonged to my mother. The napkin is linen damask.
Happy autumn, dear bloggers!

Mary..I have never thought of the cider~doughnut combination, but your photos are making me drool. Think I may need to give them a try. Genie
ReplyDeleteHi Mary, It is so nice to visit your blog again. This looks absolutely scrumptious. Can you say that about a whole place setting LOL? I just love everything, it just makes we want to put on sateen jammies, get a blank and settle in with a book. Where did you get that transferware, it is just beautiful? Well I am going to check out what I have missed on your blog.

Hi Crystal! I think I got those dishes in HomeGoods or Marshall's, maybe two or three years ago... :)
ReplyDeleteExquisitely presented and photographed, Mary. I wouldn't have thought of doughnuts with cider but these look like proper ones – very rare to find these days. As always, your photos are like old master paintings. Have a lovely weekend! xo – g
