Can't Wait for Fall

I know it's early but it's terribly still hot and humid here in Florida. Maybe blogging with fall colored Polish pottery will make me feel cooler.  Wishful thinking?

 Anyway, I pulled out my Polish pottery plates with orange in them, which I think make them somewhat fall-ish.
 The orange flatware set was given to me one Christmas by my son and daughter in law. They're perfect for Fall.
 I just cut some flowers from the garden, mostly santan flowers, also known as ixora and jungle flame, and some white pentas to put in my little ducky vase, for the centerpiece.


 I even dugged out my PP pumpkins from the garage. Their faces are cut out on the other side.

 Isn't this server/baker pretty? I love it! It's probably the most expensive single Polish pottery I bought, but I couldn't resist. I swore to myself after we moved to Florida and downsized, that I wouldn't buy anymore.  But, this pandemic is making me crazy and bored and it forces me to browse and watch live polish pottery shows. Their beauty is just so enticing and I really cannot blame myself cause I am but just human.
Besides, I don't go anywhere so I save a lot from not buying clothes, shoes and makeup, lol.
 I've had these glasses with maple leaves from many years ago. They were only from the Dollar Store. I have Polish pottery stemware too but I thought of using these instead.

 Now, you can see the faces on the PP pumpkins, standard peacock and mosquito (sometimes they call it nature) patterns.




I hope you enjoyed my Fall tablescape, it's more like a transition from summer. Thanks for stopping by! Enjoy the rest of your summer. I know it is starting to cool off in the northern regions. Enjoy it and please stay safe, everyone!

Happy Valentine’s Day, 2020!

Happy Valentine’s Day to all!

We just arrived from a cruise to the UAE and one of our plane lay over was in Amsterdam. I just love all their tulips and blue and white dishes, which is what inspired me to do this tablescape, instead of creating an all red one.




 I brought out my Meissen figures to use as part of the centerpiece. I think they look romantic. I am also using heart shaped Polish pottery for servers.
 I made broken glass jello for dessert. I think the kids will enjoy it. I will also look for some chocolate covered strawberries to add,



I plan to cook holy yum chicken ( just saw the recipe from Pinterest) and pecan crusted salmon, salad and rice. We always eat rice with meals.

I hope you all enjoy your Valentine’s Day!

A Little Frenchy With Delamere Bouquet

 My eyes have been glued to the TV watching Hurricane Dorian coverage and it is getting pretty depressing, so I thought I would do something I enjoy doing for a change. And what would that be but to tablescape….yea!

I pulled out my Spode Delamere Bouquet Dinnerware set from the family room buffet cabinet and here they are! I don't think I have ever set a table with these before.
I just gathered anything with a little purple around the house and came out with this as a centerpiece. The topiary made it seem Frenchy so that became my theme.




Don't you just love the face of the bust? She is so pretty and delicate.

I think I bought this round crocheted tablecloth from Grand Cayman. There is a linen store there that John and I never miss whenever we go there.

I love the color of these plates. I think purple is a good transition color from summer to fall.


I told you it's Frenchy:-)




I have not posted for such a long time and I hope to visit a lot of my friends. Let's pray for everyone in the hurricane's path. Please stay safe if you are one of them.
