I've been looking forward to taking part in this weeks Tablescape Thursday hosted by Between Naps on the Porch since I became the proud new owner of these fantastic antique mother-of-pearl handled fruit/luncheon knives that were sitting unused at my mother's house. They needed to see the light of day! So, please join me for a little afternoon coffee and cake. My favorite cake is without a doubt angelfood - yum. Of course, fresh strawberries and whipped cream make a nice addition! The cake stand was a local thrift store purchase for $12.00! The rose glass creamer and suger, complete with gold rim, came to me from my great Aunt's house. The silverplate coffee pot was a recent find at the Hell's Kitchen Flea Market in NYC for $10.
This is just the second year that my lilac bush has put out enough blooms to cut and bring inside. I feel like a proud parent! Unfortunately, I am completely allergic and this arrangement had to be banished to my back deck right after the photos were shot!
Here's the entire set that I "procured" from my mother's house. These were, in fact, wedding gifts to my great grandparents, who were married in 1895!
Won't you join me?
