Tablescape Thursday

Please pull up a chair and join me for lunch. Just the two of us so we can catch up. Honestly I would love to have lunch with each of you. There is a hand knit shawl waiting for you if you feel a chill pull it around your shoulders. Let me light the candles.

There is so much going on in Blogland that sometimes I feel it's hard to keep up. Susan at Between Naps On The Porch is hosting Tablescape Thursday and today I am going to play along.

Be sure to click on the title (above) to link to her site and see the list of everyone who is participating today.

I just love the tablecloth quilt that my Mother hand pieced and quilted for me. I have it on my table most of the time. The two white doillies were made by Mom too. They are tatted and each one is 8" across. Aren't they pretty? They look so nice with the white flowers and bird nest. She makes the doillies and sells them so if anyone is interested in hand tatted pieces contact me. She will be 88 years young next month and loves to do handwork. She really does the nicest work. Her stitches are even and perfectly worked.

The dishes are my new Spode Delamere pattern in red. I just love them. The little clear glass leaf plates were purchased years ago at an antique shop. The stainless is Onida. I have had this for years and I still love it.

I love the simple centerpiece of flowers in an old jar and the bird nest helps me to focus on the fact that Spring is not too far away!

Have a wonderful day and Thanks for visiting. ~ ~Ahrisha~ ~

Belated Valentine Wishes To You

Hi Friends~ ~ ~

The weekend flew by and I didn't take the time to post and wish all of you a Happy Valentines Day. So, I really hope yours was very nice. Here is a little of what I did.

I had a cup of coffee with a friend. Starbucks of course. Just love their coffee especially their new blend Bella Vista.

I had recently purchased a few old Valentines, Birthday and Easter postcards that I want to share with you.

This red carnation is so pretty and the carnation is my birthday flower. The "P" in pink has little jewels on it.

I'm a sucker for roses so here is what I got. The postcards are really in great shape. Don't you just love the roses on this one. Sweet sentiments.

And. . Here are my new everyday dishes. They are Spode Delamere in Red and it is the color of Valentines Day and I love them I had to share. Gotta love ebay.

This sugar and creamer set is one I picked up years ago. Way back when I was doing blue in my house. It is old Cambridge Blue Swirl glass. I filled the sugar with pink sugar in honor of Valentines Day. Enjoy.

Happiness To You All
