A bright and cheerful morning at the breakfast table for me and the hubby! To view more beautiful blogs and tablescapes , be sure to visit Between Naps on the Porch's Tablescape Thursday.
The antique ironstone blue transferware plates are made by W.Adams & Sons Co, in Tunstall, England. These have a maker's mark on the back that was used by W.Adams between 1819-1864. The pattern is called "Columbia" and according to the markings these were probably made about c.1850. This one does have a small chip in the rim. :-(
My casual dinnerware is from Pottery Barn and this particular collection is called "Emma". I love these dishes! The 5 piece place setting includes: dinner plate, salad plate, soup bowl, cereal bowl and coffee mug.
My casual flatware was purchased at Bed Bath & Beyond. This particular pattern is called "Vintage" (appropriately enough!)
For a touch of whimsy, I put the sugar cubes in an ice cream sundae glass and have a bouillion/soup spoon in it from a hotel my mother-in-law found somewhere (which incidentally is the same hotel where we had our wedding reception,!)
A blue-speckled syrup jug with a rooster on it and two different creamers on a silver tray make a nice addition to the table.I love the crackle blown glass creamer pitcher. It was made in Jamestown, VA at the old Jamestown Settlement , at the on-site glassworks. It was fun to watch the glass blower make this creamer jug for me while I watched!

I love blue and white tables -- they are "the best" -- very pretty table and very pretty dishes!
This is indeed bright and cheery--the blue "sings."
Hugs, Lana Austin
What a cheerful breakfast table -- this would be a wonderful start to any day! The blue and yellow is so pretty together. Don't you love Jamestown?
Oh I love the blue and white! What a way to start the new year~ your tablescape looks fantastic.
Just beautiful! You can never go wrong with blue and white and yellow. Happy New Year Blessings, Barb
It's all fresh, charming, and beautifully coordinated! I'm glad you shared how, where, and when you came to own the lovely things on your table. I especially enjoyed the story of the hotel silver spoon ... such a thoughtful gift!

Would love to be met by this wonderful table any morning. It is so bright and cheery. Love your stories.
You have woven together a beautiful table setting, with a darling theme. Sugar in the ice cream sunday was cute idea but to be able to find the spoon from your special hotel, well that is a real treasure.
Oh that is a lovely table for two!! I love the blues and white together!
