Luncheon for Two

 I am sharing this post at Susan's Link Party, Tablescape Thursday. It's been a long time since I have joined this party but then again, I haven't been posting on a regular basis either. I thought there was no better way than to join in on a blogging party to get back into the swing of things.

I dearly love using my blue and white, it is such a summery pattern even on overcast and rainy days as this was. We are getting so much rain in our area of N FL lately. My blue and white pattern is Spode's Blue Italian. I was inspired to buy this pattern by a dear friend who has recently passed so they are now even more of a reminder of my friend.

The light fixture hanging over this wee little table was originally a gasolier. It came out of an old plantation home near us and was converted into electric. The keys underneath the fixture that turned the gas on and off still remain. I have several very old light fixtures in my home that were originally gasoliers.

A simple setting using my hotel silver, each one being different, cobalt blue iced tea glasses and to bring a little of an outdoorsy feel to the table, napkin rings of my iron birds. The white pear-shaped salad bowl was also a gift from my friend that inspired my collection of my blue and white. Yet another reminder of my dear friend.

With this small table for two you can't get a large flower arrangement on it. I found myself having to cut back my Penta's this week, so they made the perfect arrangement for this wee table. With all the rain we've had my Penta's have gotten huge.

Even though it was daytime and luncheon it was a dreary day outside, so I still like to light a candle if only to make it more festive. The little Cavalier blue and white S&P were gifted me by my daughter. Since I have this fondness for blue and white, I also have two Cavalier King Charles Spaniels.

I love to see your comments so leave one if you are so inclined. Thank you for visiting my blog and I hope you enjoy the remainder of the day.
