English Country

Yesterday  all  patriotic   themes  were  put away and    summery  country cottage  came out  in the dining room!

Inspired by  my  fresh garden flowers  I   decided on a  summery, yet cool  yellow and blue    theme.

I collect blue and white transfer ware   and which helps when I only have a set of  napkins or  place mats..  you can mix and match those, as well.. I put  use one color  at the heads of the table and use the others on the sides  when I am setting for 6.

This is  such a cheerful combination...  It is  a  happy  setting for  morning breakfast    when the family comes to visit.. it is, also, most suitable for a ladie's luncheon which I  have  planned for next week!  The   pewter tea pot,  shakers and  candlesticks  look  so nice  and add a bit of bling to the whole aspect!

Since the  transfer ware   sports  English country living,  I thought   my collection  of sheep would  look right at home    with the arrangement..  I, also, love the  April Cornell linen napkins ...not only do they  look fabulous,  but they  laundry up    so  fast  and  delightfully.. no ironing  necessary!
I am joining Susan at Between Naps on the Porch for  Tablescape Thursday  Grace at Home    with  Richella.
