Table Setting Ideas - Spode Christmas Tree
Comments (6)I haves everal friends who have Spode Christmas Tree....and there are cloths that are the right red or green. The china is white and a cream cloth doesn't look right with it. I always find an off white cloth with china that has a really white ground looks dirty....and I don't like a white clothw ith china that has a cream ground. For an absolutely "knock your socks off" table, look for av ery dark green cloth...I have one that is Ralph Lauren, bought at T J Maxx a few years back, and use gold chargers. Stem ware with a gold rim and white napkins will be lovely. I would concentrate on crystal, gold, and silver for a centerpiece. Perhaps an arrangement of crystal candle holders with white candles and greens touched with gold and silver glitter...time to get creative. Linda C...See MoreChristmas Tree #2 and #3 Completed
Comments (31)Heck we should have had your Dad make about 30 of them and we could have done those for an exchange gift!!!! That would have kept him busy!!!!!!! I think they look really great. I love them all. Like everyone else said. I dont do well doing duplicates either. My exchange gift has been replicated now because I took it to work and it was liked so well I was commissioned to make another one for her. Also like Nice I tend to try to make the next one even better and drive myself crazy!!!...See Morechina patterns-care to share yours?
Comments (47)The china we use for everyday use is Finlandia by Churchill. My grandparents turned their old Victorian farmhouse into a small inn during the depression, and took in guests. My grandmother cooked for their boarders, and accrued a large collection of china. When she died, there were vintage collections of brown and white transferware, several sets of Syracuse china, and some lovely glass dishes. I inherited some of these pieces, and my sister has the rest. My favorite is a service for 10 that I use for special occasions, holidays and large family gatherings. That is the Old Ivory "The Hostess" china made by Syracuse in the 1930's. It brings back many fond family memories and I love the colorful vintage pattern. During the winter months when we eat a lot of hearty stews, soups and spaghetti, I prefer to use my antique flow blue pottery, because they have such deep wide bowls and soup plates. Then I'll use either the Burgess & Leigh, NonPareil soup plates, which date back to the mid 1800's, or my Waldorf by New Wharf pottery bowls. I have enough dinner plates and bowls for each pattern to serve 8. This is the Burgess & Leigh Flow Blue, the Waldorf pattern is shown in earlier posts....See MoreTook my Christmas tree down this morning
Comments (76)bpathome, I never used the Aux input before. But that's a good idea. I have a cable for it. I usually leave an audiobook on CD in the car for long drives. I find I like certain kinds as "car" books and others as "working around the house books". Lately it's been non-fiction in the car, or a really good author that needs more attention from a certain part of my brain. The earbuds while walking around are great. No wondering if you've missed something. The ones from my library come with neckcords. But I don't like the unit swinging. I wear something with a pocket, or put it in my phone holster at my waist. I wrap the middle of the wire of my earbuds around as much as needed, and clip it to my shirt with a binder clip, so I don't snag my wire on anything. That way I can bend over as needed, dig in the garden, etc. Check out your library. Mine is always getting new ones, and I can borrow from nearby libraries in the same system as well....See Moredottieq
