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!!
