In tune with the weather....

Is the Polar Vortex about to move on away from your area?  Our high temperature yesterday managed to move above freezing, and today promises to be almost balmy!

As I replied on an earlier post, my favorite color is blue.  I like to move into January with a blue tablecloth on the table.  With the addition of white, the table takes somewhat of a winter appearance.

In the dining room.


The china is Wedgewood Strawberry and Vine.  The stemware is Lady Anne by Gorham, and the flatware is Rondo, also by Gorham.  The cup and saucer in the front is marked as Staffordshire Tableware, no pattern mentioned, while the one in the background is Barratts, also no pattern given.  Both were made in England.  Barely visible is the snowman napkin ring.

There are a couple of other pieces that fit right in with January.

I think the plate and the bowl are fun!  

The bowl and plate are marked Bella Casa by Ganz.

The large blue pitcher is a product with a Country Living stamp on the bottom.

Isn't this cute?

The stamp on the bottom of this small pitcher credits Alpine Pottery in Roseville, Ohio in 2001.

We have already enjoyed our January table setting this year!  The Country Couple came to lunch last Sunday, and  it was fun to use the dining room on that day!

Thank you for reading.  I really appreciate your comments.

  5. You go all out with your table... I haven't done that in decades! Looks great!

    We have warmed up, even though it's a little dreary and wet. I'll sure take it over the frigid temps!

    Your table setting is lovely.
    I love blue colors. I also love winter, but I don't like it when temperatures are so low.

  12. You do set a pretty table and you have such pretty tablewares. I would be more inclined to use a pale blue during hot weather to cool the room down a bit. I sure could use a nice yellow color during winter months.

    Thanks for sharing.
    Hugs,

  15. Your table is perfect for a winter meal. Love the softness of it. I think there were a lot of pottery places in Roseville, Ohio.

  17. Blue is a lovely color, but not for fingers and toes! I'm glad the mercury is moving in the right direction again.
