Sunday Brunch for two

Today my table is set for an intimate Sunday Brunch for two on a rainy Sunday morning. Since it was so dark outside because of the rain I chose to light the candles on the table.




I am using some of my Franciscan Desert Rose pattern, luncheon plate, cup and saucer, sugar and creamer, and S&P, that belonged to my mother. It is a cherished service for 12 and I rarely use it but I do love the pattern. An old pattern but I think lovely. They also hold a multitude of cherished memories.



I have always loved the twig handles on the sugar and creamer and on the handles of the coffee cup. The rosebud S & P are so sweet too.



The flatware is Hotel Silver flatware from Horchow.



I have also used two of a collection of antique sterling silver napkin rings. This collection was the inspiration of a dear friend and a collection I have enjoyed so much. I have many that are more ornate than others and some that are more masculine. The masculine ones I always set at a gentleman's place setting.




Many of the more ornate ones are from France. The French always used the most intricate of details.



This one was made in England and all in my collection are very old. I even have one from Czarist Russia which is my husbands favorite. I find them when I am traveling and at antique shows and I always enjoy the hunt for new napkin rings.




The glasware is a reproduction of a Williamsburg pattern. I love the way this glass feels in your hand and I often serve Mimosas in them.




A lovely way to begin a Sunday morning but with a Sunday Brunch for two.
