Sunday Brunch

In my last post I shared my newest collection of blue and white porcelain and the fact that we were having a chilly and rainy morning,  that same Sunday we had some friends in for brunch, a celebration of sorts.

Using again my new love of blue and white. This compote is new and I think looks wonderful hosting lemons which adds to the color scheme.

I used some of one of my Depression Glass collections, the yellow Madrid pattern. This was a collection started by my mother which she handed down to me. This collection has a story.

My mothers collection began with a few of these fruit cups given to her by my Great Grandmother. In those days these beautiful glass ware pieces came in detergent packages. When my mother received these lovely little compote's she then decided to begin a much larger collection.

She added these bowls and the plates and I have service for eight. The plates are more of a luncheon plate but yet perfect for a Sunday morning brunch.

I love the cups and saucers but the glasses are so very versatile. Perfect for a Mimosa at brunch or even iced tea for a ladies luncheon.

My charger, I used one of my everyday plates, Vilroy & Boch, Auden Ferme. With a yellow rim it was perfect as a charger and also added to the color scheme.

I am very fond of birds and always like to add them in for just a bit of whimsy.

My compote is another of my new blue and white "finds".

Since it was such a rainy, overcast, and dank day why we needed to light the candles. Even in mid-morning for it was a celebration of sorts.

I don't often use my Depression Glass collection but it seemed perfect for this table setting.
