My sunroom has been so cold during this whole month because of the dark dreary days... we just never ventured in there..thus never had the heat turned on.... then yesterday dawned cheerful and bright, and thoughts of emerging days of new life and renewed love burst around me and I was flooded with the thoughts of romance and springtime....
and I naturally think roses and candlelight!
I love the shabby antique roses of the linen cloth daintily trimmed with antique laces as the foundation of the scene..
The centerpiece was inspired to reflect the cabbage roses of the cloth in more diminutive roses in the vase! The vase I absolutely love... an antique vase found in a consignment shop, made in an English pottery of exquisite detail and fine quality...
Speaking of English pottery this china I picked up at Marshall's for a song....
Royal Stafford at the potteries of Burslem...try as I might the manufacturer is listed on each piece but not the pattern name....I bought 6 plates and 6 bowls.... alas, that was all they had!
The flatwear is International silver, Joan of Arc, and the napkin, pure Irish linen!
Everything is sensually sumptuous! And as the evening grew, the candlelight performed it's magic!
For more TT be sure to stop in at Between Naps on the Porch! You'll be glad you did!!!
What pretty plates! They do spell romance! I love the candlelight shot!

ReplyDeleteRoses and candlelight....seriously, there is nothing more romantic! With this romantic setting, who cares if it's a bit chilly out there? You can just snuggle! :-)
