An Elizabethan Table for Late Summer



lThursday Favorite Things
Hosted by Amber. 

One of my favorite things is  genealogy and  as I was    perusing Ancestry.com I found  that my  earliest known 12th great grand father  was   born in 1485 in Chigwell, Essex, Great Britain...  That got me thinking of Elizabethan architecture and one of my favorite styles, Jacobean,  prints..  So I created  a new  table arrangement  celebrating my  love of all thing  British, as well, as  my  12th great  Grandpa  Thomas Cocke!

The placemats  are   a   bright and bold  Jacobean  print that  suits  the  
Elizabethan cottage of the Churchill China. 

 


Since it  is late summer and I am thinking  farm life  the sunflowers really punch up the design both on the  hutch and the table.



  My cute Dominecker  fowl  being the oldest chicken to migrate here during the colonial period feels right at home on this table!!


This setting really puts me in a hostess mood...  perhaps a lovely  roasted fowl  supper  with  best friends  is warranted  for this table  design


Happy late summer  from our  house to yours!
I am also sharing on   Grace at Home.
