I have seen it "in person" and it is even more gorgeous than in the pictures. I love to walk into her house and see the beautiful way she has things arranged.

Sunday family dinners have always been a BIG thing in our home. Like you I make an effort to do it up. They men are gone. school, work all week , running around, the boys have a busy social calendar, so Sundays we all come together and just do family time.

Our youngest gifted us a blue willow set , 5 piece place setting for 4 as an anniversary gift the end of June. I cried!!! This pattern was my grandmothers dishware when I was a child. Close to my heart.

Oh how wonderful Gee! I love mine, and haven't had it out the last couple years because I was using the aqua shades, but I'm so happy it's out. Thank you:-)

This is beautiful and vibrant with color! The napkins and sari go together nicely and the beautiful orchid is the jewelry! I'm the same way about growing them.

I love finding new looks for Blue Willow but have never tried a vibrant shade of pink before. Now I'm wondering why not as your table is lovely. I've never heard of grille knives and forks before, they're really handsome.

I'm looking right now at an orchid that has not bloomed since Christmas. The leaves are glossy and I keep putting the 3 ice cubes in it every Tuesday but I want some blooms!
Have you seen signs of fall maybe approaching there in the mountains yet? Today here in Nashville we had a hint of fall with low humidity and a nice breeze, just a feel in the air.Replies-

Hi Dewena, it has been cool the last couple mornings, which has been so nice! But, it's still hot, so we have a while to go. I know...how to make them bloom I'll have to google some help!

Thank you Jordyn! My grandmother collected these piece by piece when they were sold at the "grocery" store and gave a whole set to me when I got married:-) So they are very special!
DeleteAnita, Your table is beautiful. You have the touch! Love Blue Willow and am collecting. I have a teapot, but thought the other day that I'd like to get a Coffee Server. So, one is on order. I haven't played with my dishes in a long time. Will try to get some completed. Blessings,

Hi Deanna, thank you! I wish I had a teapot! My mom gave me the coffee server. You know I thought to myself that I really needed to set some tables, and I'm glad I did:-)
