| One of our family traditions is to use the Mary Engelbreit "Comfort & Joy" tea set at least once during the holidays. My daughter gave me this tea set several years ago....I will always treasure it! |
 |
| I have a casual table set in the "eat in" kitchen.... |
 |
| In fact, I even used paper plates and napkins....which I often do. I am not afraid to mix my antique green opalescent Cherry & Cable sugar and creamer with paper plates! I think the tall piece behind the sugar & creamer is a spoon holder...not sure! I have the matching butter dish, cracker jar, and cookie jar on the pass thru ledge behind the table. |
 |
| I layered three small paper napkins for the fork to rest on....and used a scalloped white plate as a charger. |
 |
| Each cup and saucer has a different saying on it... |
 |
| Here is a close up of the cracker and cookie jar...and the butter dish.... |

Hi Penny,
ReplyDeleteI like the look of your kitchen. The soft colors and white look now winterly and inviting. Mary Engelbright's tea set is lovely and so is the cherry and cable glass set. If you hadn't mention it, I would not habe seen that you used paper plates. They match perfectly. Thank you for this delightful tea time. Have a wonderful Advent time.
Best greetings, Johanna
