This is my first time joining Teacup Tuesday at Martha's Favorites so I wanted to share my very first teacups.
In the generation in which we got married, everyone picked out one set of every day dishes and one set of good china for special occasions. My grandparents gave me my first six place settings of good china including a few serving pieces. I still am in love with this pattern. It's English Wedgewood in the Florentine pattern. Even though I have changed our decor several times over the years I have always made sure it went with my navy, brown, light blue, and white china. Even our Christmas dinner tablescapes are either mostly white or blue and white with silver thrown in.

Above is a Fall centerpiece made with white pumpkins and pinecones in a vintage cheese box. Maybe I'll use blue, brown, and white for my Thanksgiving table this year. Not your typical Thanksgiving colors but then again that's kind of typical of me.
Be sure and hop on over to Martha's Favorites to see more teacups.
Today I'm thankful for my grandparents and the Christian values they passed on.
Hello Sandi!
ReplyDeleteWelcome to Tea Cup Tuesday! We are so glad to have you join in. Your tea cup is very lovely. What a fabulous design on the plate! I can see why you could fall in love with this one for a life time.
Thanks so much for sharing with us.
Hugs,
Terri
It is truly a lovely pattern. So glad you did not tuck the china away and never use it. I'll try to do better with using my Mikasa purchased in the 80's. My older china was given to a daughter who probably hocked it for some goth jewelry. Sigh.
ReplyDeleteWelcome to Tea Tuesday! Your English Wedgewood in the Florentine pattern is lovely. How lucky you are to have it and what sweet memories you must have of your grandparents. Happy Tea Day!
ReplyDeleteLove your cheese box centerpiece and it all goes so well with your beautiful china...blessings...Pam

That pattern is so beautiful, Sandy! I love the colors!...Christine
ReplyDeleteBeautiful china. Treasured by the memories~who it came from, at a lovely time in your life and all the family dinners that were had on it. Also, the quality of Wedgwood made back then makes it special as well. I also have Wedgwood my husband and I picked out 36 years ago. It is Runnymede Dark Blue-similar to yours actually. Mine has flowers and a little pink scallop shell which I love. It looks great on pink, yellow or lavender cloths.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing > Happy to see yours.
