This week’s tablescape features one of my favorite crystal patterns with old fashioned delicate china from Japan. I wanted to see how the two styles combined and show how the lacy etch looked with the flower banded china dinnerware. What do you think? The dinnerware is from Meito china and it dates to somewhere between [...]

It’s February. Valentines Day is over. It’s still winter here in mid-Michigan – but it was sunny today; the birds were singing and it was in the 40s. I can see spring. So let’s toss off the winter blues and celebrate those early signs of warm breezes, nesting birds and daffodils peeking through the snow. [...]

Happy Tablescape Thursday! It’s hard to believe a whole week has gone by since Thanksgiving. A few weeks ago I showed Noritake Shasta china with green depression glass – not a happy pairing. The colors were wrong. The result gave me a better idea: Pair the flowered china dinnerware with the flower etched Monongah Secretaries [...]

Today’s Tablescape Thursday is different. It’s Thanksgiving, our day to look around and realize how blessed we are and give thanks. My Mom was an outstanding cook but she was an incredible baker. My husband uses all her recipes. In the spirit of thanking Mom for everything she did, here is her pumpkin pie recipe. [...]

One of the china patterns we have in our store is Noritake Shasta from the 1950s. It’s a nice pattern, not too retro, not too fancy, with a mint green border and pretty flowers that fill the entire white center. Here’s a close up for you: Pretty, yes? This soft green looks so pretty and [...]

Welcome to this week’s Tablescape Thursday post. Let me be up front here, I’m not sure this table setting works. The idea was to combine this very nice casual dinnerware from Royal Doulton with cut glass stemware that echoed the line theme. Tell me what you think.
