I love this after Christmas, but not quite Valentine's Day, time of year....especially when the weather is trying so bust out into spring like the past few days here in the mid-Atlantic..
I love to lay aside a bit of Christmas decor and repurpose it for Valentine's Day... yet as I am still grieving the loss of my parents, simplicity is the word this year...
(Note: The high chair remains in the dining room for our most prestigious guest, Birdie)
I love transferwear so much.... it always has a story to tell...
The red goblets really dress up the cozy cottage plates....
as well, the red votives add splash and verve to the table.
I replaced the gilded arrangement from Christmas with a more wintry theme
amd berries and roses with intermittent hearts dress up the mantel!
Now I can sit back and enjoy a cup of tea...
while I do a bit of menu planning!

I'm with you! I love transferware too. It does tell a story and each piece is so very charming. Your table looks wonderful and I like all the pops of red in your room. I like to hang plates on the wall as well. They just add a little something special to a wall. I'm so happy you could come to tea today.

You are exactly right! That IS the charm of transfer ware. Prayers for comfort during this time of mourning. Your home looks lovely and inviting.
ReplyDeleteI too love the red transferware as my blog this week will show........ Your table is lovely. I so agree that a cup of tea can certainly add to your calm as you make plans, no matter what they may be.
ReplyDeleteI'm a transferware addict too! I love that the red from Christmas can linger for another couple of months. Love your hutch! Thanks so much for linking to Tuesday Cuppa Tea!
