Spring Lunch

I have the table set in the sun room for lunch today.   I have some fresh pink roses for the centerpiece...


The container that I have used to hold the roses is a vintage stamp holder...

back in the old days..lol..when H was in the freight business he had an assortment of stamps that he used on the freight bills.    The one in the front is a "proof of Delivery"  stamp....

H has several stamp holders ( he was in the freight business 43 years)  so I took one of them and spray painted it pink.  I found some glass bottles at a yard sale one day that fit in the holders perfect.   I think it makes a fun "vase" .

I have used a vintage pale pink and blue tablecloth...

and some simple ironstone dishes.  We are having soup (that's why I used the BIG spoon) and a light salad for lunch today'.

I love my sign "those who give love, gather love" .... so true!

HHHHHHH lunch is ready!

  4. I was looking at your first photo for a while before reading the rest of your post and was trying to think what you had used as the flower holder. What a fantastic, original idea. Even without the roses, the stamp holders are such a cosy look at 'yester year'. I can remember having one of those on my desk years ago before my 'one stamp fits all'. Never the same, there is real comfort in hearing the stamp hit the ink pad and then thump down on the paper. I am going to have to look out for these as I feel a real desire to own these now. Thanks for sharing. Chel x

  7. What a sweet table setting. I love the tablecloth and rabbits. That's a super cool idea to turn a stamp holder into a flower arrangement. I'll have to be on the lookout for one now. Happy Spring, Michelle

  13. I absolutely adore your bunnies! This is such a happy table beginning with the vintage flowered tablecloth. The stamp holder is just perfect to hold the vases with your pretty pink roses. This is a sunny room for a great place to dine.
