Tablescape Tuesday 9/09/08
My sweet new blogging friend Susan of Between Naps on the Porch is hosting Tablescape Tuesday for us, so hop on over to her blog to see more participants. Each week more participants are joining & it is so inspiring to see all the beautiful tablescapes! 
Flow Blue is a new passion of mine. My favorite little footed Flow Blue compote ~ Sylvan by Cauldon.The red of my dining room walls is the perfect backdrop for blue & white settings.

Flow Blue Covered Vegetable Bowl
These older pieces of vintage china really make me wonder who loved & cared for them before. Who used these to set a beautiful & gracious table in the 1800's? What did they wear to their candlelight dinners? What type of conversations have these pieces overheard? I think I was born into the wrong era!!

Hi Stephanie, thanks for stopping by my blog. Your table setting is just gorgeous, I am a big Spode fan too.
Best wishes from the wet and windy Lake District. Fern
I can see you have an imagination that could rival mine. One of my favorite HGTV shows is "If Walls Could Talk". I personally don't have a problem with extending that premise to old dishes as well. Just think who might have dined at the table where these dishes were used. That leads my mind down some interesting roads. Thoroughly enjoyed your post.
Oh, Stephanie! How gorgeous is your table! I love Flo Blue but never could afford it! All of your dishes are just stunning on the lace tablecloth. Isn't this Tablescape Tuesday fun!?
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
I had just run by Susan's Betweennapsontheporch and discovered you had just put a tablescape up as well.. I could harldy wait to swing in and get a glimpse. I'm so glad I did..what a beautiful tablescape you've created.. I love blue and white (among many others..lol ). Like you I wonder how many conversations have been shared over these beautiful dishes...thanks so much for sharing.. ~lynne~
This is so lovely. Is that Michaelangelo silver? Looks like mine. I agree about the conversations...
Gorgeous. I love the lace with the blue and white. Love it! Thanks for stopping by today.
Oh, Stephanie...this is gorgeous!!! I love blue and white and flo blue is my favorite!!! Stunning, and you're right...the red dining room walls really set it off beautifully!
BTW, I wanted to apologize if you let me know earlier in the week you were going to post a tablescape today, and I missed it. I added you to my list on my blog as soon as I got home from work. I so hope you post again next week....just let me know so I can make sure I have you on there. Again, I am so sorry if I missed that earlier.
Love,
Susan
