09/19/11    Vintage  English Brown Transferware Plates

I am SO excited about my recent purchase from Nancy (of Nancy's Daily Dish) and her Englishtransferware shop on Etsy.com of 4 vintage dinner plates by Royal Cauldon showing 4 famous English scenes.  They arrived today, and I could not wait to set the table with them and my new fall centerpiece (see  post below).  If you are a fan of English transferware, or if you are unfamiliar with it and want to learn more, visit Nancy's shop and follow her blog. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  

 

09/19/11    Fall Table Centerpiece

Mid-September feels like the right time to put a new fall centerpiece on the dining room table.  We are finally into cooler weather here, but Halloween is still a month and a half away.   Too soon for ghosts and goblins.  A garland of leaves in turning colors, some imitation fruits and vegetables, a lovely vintage English brown transferware bowl, some cute bird votive candles in pinecone candle holders, and a golden leafy table runner!

Leigh wrote the play which the Lincoln town officials used to put on the event. All I did was make my own costume.
