Today's tablescape is breakfast for Bob and me one day soon.
The teacup in this picture was given to me by my Grandmother Holt. She collected teacups (we believe she had nearly 50 sets from all over the world) and I received four of the sets. This set is Queen Anne, made in England, and was another of the china pieces my grandfather brought back from England when he was stationed there during WWII.
You can see the small glasses that we also received with our goblets that we ordered from the soap box to be our wedding crystal. There is a water glass and a juice glass. The blue crocheted piece is actually from my mother in law Irene.
This last picture is of some eggs that I have collected. I handpainted several and some are just a few that I collected over time. Yes, I got much better with the handpainted eggs, then I quit. I get these spirts of doing things then feel like I need a different challenge! Anyone else like that?
Very nice.
ReplyDeleteI love the eggs.
I have just one but it was
given to me when I was a pre-teen
by a dear neighbor and I cherish it.
Mom! This is my favorite so far!!! I love this one.
ReplyDeleteTerri,
ReplyDeleteThis is so elegant and lovely! I wish you could paint me some eggs, they look grand! The tea cup from your Grandma is the best.... Cindy
I love this table, Terri! Beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteI love the teapot and cup! I really need to start collecting dishes and everything that goes with them!
ReplyDeleteYou could almost (just only almost though)skip the gourmet breakfast with this beautiful setting. I've seen pictures of Bob's cooking, though, so I say go for it! Love the little blue glasses.
ReplyDeleteA woman of many talents! I never knew you painted!
ReplyDeleteWhat else are you keeping from us?!? :)
Love the blue egg cup! I'm sure your grandmother's tea cups mean the world to you.

Your eggs are lovely and I really love that tea for one. Colors are so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteIt looks as if it will be a very pleasant setting for you and Bob one day soon...this weekend?
ReplyDeleteLike you with your beautiful Easter eggs, I become interested in a a new thing and about the time that I'm getting pretty good with it, I've lost all interest.
I love how you have such great memories to go with your dishes. That makes displaying them so much more glamorous and special! What a lovely table!
ReplyDeleteGood morning Terri! I agree with the other ladies that this table setting is very lovely. Simple, sweet, elegant. I love too that most of your things have a family history or story behind them. For me, that's awesome. Have a wonderful day sweetie!

petty eggs...love the egg cups! I guess I need to look for some now!
ReplyDeletePick up the paintbrush and create more eggs - they are beautiful. Yes, I think many folks are 'just like that.'
ReplyDeleteLovely tablescape. Those tea cups are beautiful and your painted eggs are wonderful. I can't believe you stopped painting them. I love those little blue egg cups too! laurie
ReplyDeleteTerri...this is soooo lovely! And it's especially wonderful because it has so many family pieces and things you made. I love the teacups from you Grandmother and the crocheted centerpiece from your MIL. The eggs you painted are beautiful...that takes talent that I just don't have. I do the same thing...work really hard at something...then get a little bored and move on to another challeng...I don't think we are alone! :) Thanks for a great TT!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful tablescape, love your China from England and your eggs. Kathy.
