Return to Red....

I have tried to show the detail on the cups, but probably needed a different camera setting.

In this post, I will share with you a picture of what I won in Nann's giveaway.  She even included a lovely handwritten note on one of the placecards she used for that luncheon last week-end. I encourage you to check out her blog - atnannstable.blogspot.com - especially today as she has taken us on a tour of the tables as she had them set up for the party.  It would have been really exciting to have been a guest!

I think you are able to see that the saucers are heart-shaped.  What doesn't show well, however, is the decoration around the rim of the cups.  Nann has a much better picture on her site.  Are you able to see my name on that lovely placecard?  She did such great work!  I am in awe!  Thank you so much, Nann!

Table set for February.

Watching from the mantle.

I am always happy when February arrives.  That means the red that was so cheerful at Christmas will come back out to cover the table.  The white china (Strawberry and Vine, Wedgewood) gives a good contrast, and I enjoy using the few serving accessories I have.  The plate and bowls were in the picture from last Saturday's "Super Bowl" party, and they add a festive touch.  

On the mantel are two of my "standbys," both literally and figuratively.:-)  They have seen duty for a number of February holidays, and they keep an eye on everything as well.:-)

I missed a "photo-op" earlier this morning.  We had a little dusting of snow.  It quickly disappeared once the wind became such an issue.  Although we have had flurries off and on all day, there isn't any on the ground because the wind has blown it away.  There is the forecast for about three more days of winter weather before we return to the fifties by Wednesday next week.  

I have noticed new followers!  Welcome to you, and thank you for coming along.  I appreciate your reading and love your comments.

Have a blessed Sunday tomorrow!
