Hello everyone,
Glad you could stop by on this nice sunny winter day. You are just in time for lunch so have a seat right here in the kitchen where it is nice and cozy by the stove and the sun shining in.
I have set the table with my red and white transferware dishes.
The red and white willow teacups are very old and belonged to my husbands great,great Aunt.
I love these sunny days even if it is still cold outside.
Love my toile candle from a trip to New Hampshire a few years ago.
The silver was my Mom"s.
I love this pitcher that was a Christmas gift from my friend Heather making it very hard for Santa to compete!
Pretty carnations from the grocery store.
As you can see I have an assortment of patterns but they all go together nicely.
So grab a seat and I will get the lunch on and then we can linger over a nice cup of tea!
I will be joining Susan at Between Naps on the Porch for Tablescape Thursday again.
Thank you for stopping in and please come again!
Carolyn

Carolyn, the pinks in your header are absolutely gorgeous! And the all red transferware table is very impressive--even a candle! The pattern on the salad plates is very interesting. Your table is in a beautiful setting with the sun coming in the window through the lace curtains. Linda
Dear Carolyn
Thank you for the invitation for lunch! The table is set so lovely and I am sure to enjoy your wonderful cooking. I can't get enough of the red transfer ware! Your previous post on the sunlight streaming through the window is wonderful and I would sit for hours and enjoy the view of your beautiful home! We have a little sitting room 11 X 11 and the sunlight streams in every morning..love it! Have a great rest of the week.

Wow...that was delicious! Thank you for having me over! Everything was simply beautiful.
Wish you could have stayed a few more days in FL. I would have made a point to come and meet you.
If you ever do come for a longer visit please know you have a place to stay and I will be your tour guide of Tampa.
Gorgeousness! May I come and have tea with you? Thanks for sharing!

Absolutley beautiful. I have many of the same pieces in blue. You have set a wonderful luncheon. ~~Sherry~~
Gorgeous! Love it. The transferware is so beautiful!
The toile dishes, candle, everything is lovely. I love your shiny floors, too!
Transferware no matter what the color always sets a pretty table.
I love this! It's my favorite table so far this week.
Lovely table! Your room is gorgeous and I do love all your beautiful transferware! Can't believe you found that candle! It goes with everything just perfectly!! What a lovely post, with the music, just so romantic and peaceful! Love it!
Oh, this was so pretty. I really was enjoy ing looking at all the details on all of the red china ;) :) I have one red china plate "Merrie Olde England" is the pattern, I think. It's almost identical to some of your pieces :) :) How wonderful that you've been able to pull different patterns together. Oh, and the stories behind some of your pieces, those are the best :) :) love and hugs from Oregon, Heather :)
Your table is absolutely gorgeous and your pictures are wonderful. I loved looking at all the details in each of them. Lori L
Oh my,Carolyn. I would say that was a very elegant lunch! Enjoyed every detail immensely. Thank you! Can I come again tomorrow? Susan
What a beautiful blog and a beautiful home.
Carolyn, thank you so much for inviting us to lunch! It looks so inviting. You have a fabulous collection. Even with your table set, your shelves are full!

Would love to come for lunch. Your table is beautiful as always. Just love the sun streaming in through your windows, looks so warm and inviting!
I adore your red transfer ware.....ever so striking and appealing to me! You have such lovely pieces and mixing the patterns is what makes it so charming. Your photographs are lovely and really tell the story of your beautiful table!
We can probably linger of at least six cups of tea as I turn over every single one of your glorious red transferware pieces to see who made each one. Love the lace dripping off the shelf over the louvres. Love everything about this gorgeous environment that you have created! I always think that if red transferware took home a report card, it would always have an A+ for "Plays Well with Others." Thank you for sharing your beautiful design and for stopping by my post. Please, come visit often. Cherry Kay
Hi Carolyn,

Bella
Dear Carolyn,
I accept the invitation with pleasure. I could not think of a better thing to do than lunching with you :o)
Darling Caroly, how I'd like to be there having lunch with you and with ... the sun!
Here in my town is snowing right now, and the sun seems always sleeping.
As always you've a so special beautiful taste!

Carolyn, it's so very, very beautiful! I can hear the clock ticking and feel the warmth of the sun! It is a luxury when everything is light, bright, cheery and cozy inside while the outside is endless winter.
What should I bring???!!!
Oh how I would love to sit down to lunch at such a beautiful table. The lighting is just perfection in all of these shots as well.
Oh how I LOVE red transferware. This table is absolutely beautiful to me. I love the overall red with hints of pink. So nice.
Thanks for sharing with us.

This is so beautiful! I love everything about your table setting and the room. Gorgeous shiny floors!
The tableware is really pretty.
Hugs,
Mary
One of my favorite things in this post is your beautiful bay window!! I think you should consider a post on all your window treatments around the house! I would love to see them in detail. The table is divine as always.
Blogger has been very wonky lately and has some blogs posting signatures instead of images and some blogs that usually post an image show none. Very frustrating! I see your header is still wordless so I am guessing you have had no luck.
Mi fai venire voglia di trasferirmi a casa tua...
...ah ah ah !!!!
Bacio!
Maddy
Your home is always so warm and inviting. Thank you for the invitation to lunch at your beautiful table. hugs ~lynne~
So lovely...I enjoy visiting your blog, it's always a feast for the eyes. You have displayed two of my favorite things -- Red transferware and toile. You have set a beautiful and inviting table.
Thank you for sharing.
Dear Carolyn,
What a beautiful lunch table you have! My lunch table look simple when I compare it to yours :-)!
Lieve groet & happy day!

I love your table setting Carolyn. The sun has been shining more often and I following it around the house sitting in its' warmth. Soon I can sit out in the garden. Take care, Jen.
Carolyn this post is a vision of beauty! I love your diningroom. And the transfer always makes the loveliest table setting.
I adored your sunshiny post too. I love it when the light comes in like that and we are able to capture it for always.
We haven't gotten the amount of snow this Winter as we usually do, but because of the winds it seems like more. The drifts are very high still and are melting so slow. I don't know when I will see the back beds or the grass. Behind us is a very large 160 acre alfalfa field and I believe all of the snow from that field is piled in my backyard. I am not getting too anxious yet for Spring because I have so much in the house yet to do in the way of cleaning. So I am patiently waiting.....how about you?
sending hugs
Bonjour Carolyn!!! I come with great pleasure, thank you for the invitation.

Hello sweet lady...
Ohhh my...you are absolutely right about it being a bright, sunshiny day, my friend! Your beautiful table was just basking...lovely!!! Of course, you know how I love red transferware...so your pretty table just took my breath away! Ahhh...simply gorgeous!!! You have the very BEST collection of red transferware of anyone I know, Carolyn! Loved the photo of your pretty cupboards filled with the dishes too! You know, this is the first time that I've seen a red toile candle...it's sooo pretty! I also really enjoyed your lovely carnations...they are quite spectacular with the lacy looking reddish pink tips! The perfect addition to your red transferware tablescape! Carolyn, your home is just beautiful! If it were mine...I would never want to leave it! I would become a very happy and satisfied recluse! Hehe! Thank you for sharing it with us...it's always such a treat, dear friend!

You have such perfectly beautiful rooms. You get to use so many different colors and they all look wonderful. I haven't seen much of the red Willow. It's so beautiful.
So lovely, Carolyn--some of my favorite dishes and nice to see them in such a pretty setting!
Oh Carolyn...simply beautiful! Love the sunshine and the pretty dishes...and the pic below of the doggie in the window is just darling!

Hi Carolyn,
So much beauty to behold! I love it and thanks for the invitation. I'll be right over.

Carolyn,
So glad you stopped by my blog. I of course jumped right on over to yours and all I can say is "Incredible"! What a beautiful table you set and your home is fabulous! I would love to pull up a chair and have tea with you at that lovely setting. And it's always been a dream of mine to visit Prince Edward Island....fancy that! I'm now your newest follower. Hope to get to know you better.
Blessings and Hugs,
Karen
what a pretty blog and a pretty home you have!
Hi Carolyn,
I love this table; everything's just perfect! Do I spy a JB Great Britain Castles in this group? I have that pattern (a recent purchase) and am really enjoying it. I've never seen a toile candle, but I love yours. Also, your lace tablecloth is really beautiful. Your posts are always just a visual treat! Thanks for sharing.
Denise
Where did you get all the red toile dishes?! I absolutely love them!!!
