If you have visited me before you probably noticed that I love vintage china so I did a simple tablescape for today.
A mix of my Mom's silverware and my aunts.
I love this vintage vase and it is perfect for a bouquet of roses from the garden.
A small vintage tea pot.
I had a lovely day with my daughter and grandson at Orwell Corner Historical Village and have some photos to share soon.I am joining Between Naps on the Porch for Tablescape Thursday today.
Thank you for visiting,
Carolyn

Lovely photos and we don't want you going out in the rain. You might catch a cold and not be able to show us more photos! These are A+.
I never ever get tired of these pretty dishes, Carolyn! and, that is quite a score - a dollar a piece on those pretty, pretty, pretty dishes! Lucky, happy you! =]

A dollar? Wow..you couldn't get a plastic plate for that over here! They are beautiful. I am hosting a giveaway for a little girl's pink tote that I made yesterday..if you are interested at all. Just thought I'd let you know just in case you have any little girls that would like the chance. Have a lovely day.
Hello Carolyn
Thrifting prices on the island are much cheaper than in my province. You hit a good bargain and the plates are pretty.
I think I have a similar vase with flowers on the front that I decorated at ceramics years ago.

Gorgeous, Carolyn! I love aqua and rose! I look at your blog after my day of writing, and it always inspires and encourages me to create beauty with my words.
Could you tell me what program you're using to watermark your photos? I want to start several Pinterest boards, but I don't want to put my photos up without a watermark.
Blessings on you and your family!

Absolutely gorgeous photos. The vintage dishes are beautiful. It's amazing that you got the plates for $1 each. ~ Phyllis

Love the pink and aqua tablescape. Very very pretty.
I have a friend who is a pro at thrift shopping and I have never caught the knack. I seem to gravitate to the worse stores in the world. This china is just breathtaking!!! I love the soft colors and your tablescape is beautiful.
Beautiful as always.
Have a great day Carolyn
Love Elzie
Hi Kay,
Thank you for your kind words. I watermark my photos in picasa using the text button so I have to do each one. I think Susan at Between Naps on the Porch explains how she watermarks hers all at once with a program she bought if you want to check that out.
Thank you everyone for your sweet comments.
Carolyn
ho c'est magnifique,
je craque pour la nappe au crochet

Oh, Carolyn, how pretty! My favourite colour combination! Your china is gorgeous! You must have found them at Lori's shop, did you? The roses are so sweet. Thanks for sharing this beauty on such a dreary day.
Blessings,
Sandi
This is just beatiful and so lovely. A whisper of color and quiet elegance. That vintage china is amazing. I can't believe you only paid a dollar.
Janet
I risk repeating myself but: "These settings/photos just TAKE MY BREATH AWAY"..love the delicate beauty and VINTAGE/ of course doesn't everyone love Vintage..means it's just old enough to be beautiful and treasured.
Jonell
Thank you for bringing such loveliness to our day!!
Wat sfeervol, heel erg mooi.
Groet,
Marieke.
Such pretty finds Carolyn! We really share the same love for vintage china. I could not have left these cups and plates behind in the thrift store either.
Have a lovely day!

I just can't seem to get enough of these tea pots, cups and plates! the colors are to die for and viewing your photos is such a treat! I am doing my kitchen in a shabby chic design, my favorite color is pale pink and I wish I could find these kinds of things around where I live! thank you for providing such pretty things!
Hi! A friend of mine has been looking for this China (blue with the roses) since she was 12 years old (now middle aged). Oh, it would mean the world to her to know the name of the set if anyone knows. If so, could you drop a line to me at dthneece@hotmail.com and I will pass along the info? Thank you so much! What a lovely, gorgeous blog!
