Above you see the soup silver dish that we all love. I purchased it for ten bucks when it was black! It polished up sooooo nicely. We had some nice fall soup at this meal! Below is a shot taken through my laundry room window (Ha!) of the little eating nook.
Above is the shot of the same nook at night through our little hallway door. Below you can see the ruby glasses we found at the same antique shop (note: not the ruby tea light holders!)
Above you can see the salt and pepper shakers we found at the same shop.
Above you see some old linen napkins I found on ebay and the silver and something (bronze or copper?) napkin rings which I also purchased for dirt cheap from the antique shop--they were black!! Just needed polish.
It is fun (above) to put cheapo casual stuff with the silver stuff! I love the old soup spoons that belonged to my mom.
We added a few more candles
My hubby loves tablescaping!! He loves it when I do anything different and looks foward to it.....I find we linger longer ---Ha!!
One last view---have a great weekend!
This is so beautiful! I love the setting and atmosphere!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! Those napkin rings are precious. Happy TT!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful spot to dine. So quaint!
ReplyDeleteThis is very inviting. No wonder he wants to linger. Savor the meal and the glow of the candles.
ReplyDeleteOh this is so pretty -- what a wonderful spot to linger. Love all that you've polished up so shiny.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely home! I love the shot through the window...love the steps and fireplace!
ReplyDeleteYour table is so pretty. I love silver too, it's always a surprise how it turns out! Thanks for sharing.
Love your cozy cottage! Your tablescape is lovely and must be special when your hubby loves what you do too!
ReplyDeleteThank you for your comments on my blog. To answer you ?'s, a Canadian Thanksgiving meal usually consists of roast turkey with stuffing and gravy and mashed potatoes. Vegetables and salads can vary.Lots of people make some kind of brussel sprouts type recipe. My Mom likes to make butternut squash soup (Yummy!). And for dessert, tradition is usually pumpkin pie or apple pie. You asked what colour is on my walls and it is called Toffee Cream which was from Home Hardware a few years back.

I like the gingham with the silver!
ReplyDeleteGreat picture through the window!

P.S. - Mercury glass is vintage shiny glass, but they are now recreating it now, so I guess it is "faux mercury glass!"
That soup tureen is absolutely gorgeous...Don't you just love finding a bargain and then cleaning it up only to find it's a gem!
ReplyDeleteYour silver tureen is stunning and what a bargain. Clever idea to take photos looking into the space from through the hall or windows. Nice composition!

ReplyDeleteBeautiful table with the silver and the tablecloth. I love finding old siver in antique store, wondering where it has been and who it belonged to. Love your house, like the way you have the shelf over you fireplace mantle, eye catching.

Its positively magical! I covet that silver soup tureen!!! Sure wish I could find one like that. :D
ReplyDeleteYour cottage looks so cosy and inviting!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog this evening. Your table is so nice. I love the serving piece in the middle. You had asked about my dishes in my tablescape. Yes ma'am, they are all made by Country Living and they are all at K-Mart!
ReplyDeleteIt looks so warm and cozy. I want a cottage to decorate! I really enjoyed your post.

Hello Nannykim! I really like the setting of this table in front of the fireplace and that great wall!! Very pretty. The candlelight is so lovely.
ReplyDeleteYou asked about where I live...I know I can tend to confuse people. Currently most days I live in Southern Calif. in a little condo while my hubby is working down here. We kept our home on the Eastside of Lake Washington and spend as much time as we can there (vacations and holidays). We aren't too far from Microsoft :0)
What a beautiful table. Love the silver soup dish. Great eye, I would have just passed up the black soup dish.
ReplyDeletethis is a lovely table setting by the fireplace!
ReplyDeleteLooks so very nice,

Wow! Your home is gorgeous, and I love the beautiful tablescape by the fireplace. I keep wanting to paint my fireplace and your beautiful painted fireplace just might push me over the edge.
ReplyDeleteI love the way you've used red with your silver pieces. It all positively glows with warmth and richness! Kudos!
ReplyDeleteBill

ReplyDeleteMy Writer's Challenge link is up. Why not add a story to the rest. Just tell us about something really nice someone has done for you.
Charming tablescape & a very charming home!
ReplyDeleteI'm just now getting around to answering questions from last week's post! Our tablescape and party planning workshop was a part of a women's health conference - almost 500 women attended ... I had 70 in my workshop. It was held in a community college ... and I was in the music/band room ... because the seating was tiered and everybody could see the tables, which were set up in the well! We had a great time ... lots of work ... but lots of fun!
