Tablescape Thursday: A Homage to Wonderful William Morris

Tablescape Thursday, Hosted by Susan !                           

 Last year we toured Scotland and while we were at 

 Stirling Castle 

                 

 my daughter slipped off to the gift shop and purchased  for my birthday my first William Morris  decorative item..  a gorgeous   tapestry pillow  with the design called Strawberry Thief.


About a month ago  I found a whole  tablescape group of linens of the same  design at Amazon..  This  is  so wonderful  because  the price was  very reasonable  and the  quality was  very nice!!
So I have paired  the  linens with   my blue and white  English country  scene, Countryside pattern, by Enoch Wedgewood.
 Six placemats and a table runner were included in the set!
I was so excited to  step into my Discovery Shop and find  this pair of partridges  that  look sassy enough to go after those strawberries, as well!

My room is a light blue and  I love the  contrast of these  darker colors  for a late summer table..  But  I am, also, using  my  simple  green summer  glasses with my blue and green napkins that just seem to  punctuate my style of mixing the classic with the  unexpected!.
                                       
             Here you can get the overall effect  in the room!
I had  heard from  several  folks online that  these vintage  birds were   becoming  quite rare and hard to find.. It was such a  happy moment for me to  find them immediately I stepped into our vintage shop to find the pair for ten dollars!

Farewell

 After  17 years of   blogging  I am  pretty sad to  just fade  out  with  hardly  anyone showing any   farewell,  concern  about my  surger...
