Afternoon Sherry and Biscuits


It's been a stormy afternoon.  Rain, high winds and hail.
But it's cozy and comfy in my little cottage so I am inviting
you over for some biscuits and sherry.





While the weather might not feel like spring, I think this
little table does.





This Royal Staffordshire pattern makes me think of a spring
garden.




Little pink birds are holding down some vintage hankies we'll
be using as napkins.




Dainty and feminine.




Thanks for stopping by!  Bentley and I so love
your visits.

Happily Joining ~

Big Hugs,
Susan and Bentley

    Hi Susan! Oh, this is such a sweet setting! I love the pinkness and your pretty dishes. The little wreath is so sweet too. Now those little birdie napkin rings are the cutest things.
    Hope you're doing well.
    be a sweetie,
    Shelia ;)

    Susan, this is just the cutest setting. I love your quilts. Family heirlooms? The sweet plant is so at home with the darling little birds. The dishes are really wonderful. I really love the center flowers with the big rose. Every time I see my sweet yellow bird in my kitchen, I think of you and cute Bentley! xo marlis

    What a sweet table Susan. I'm a sucker for pretty pink floral dishes, so you know I love it all. Too bad the weather doesn't feel like spring yet, but I am glad you are trying to hurry it along with your lovely table. It seems so strange for Easter to be right around the color, and yet it still feels like winter. It's so nice to see the pastel colors. Have a great day!

    Hi, Susan! Sorry about the bad weather! I guess that's one of those down sides of Spring! :-( I hope the skies have since cleared and that sunshine is abundant for your Thursday! (I'm sure Bentley is glad you got him inside in time, too!!!) Your table is so feminine and pretty!!! I love pink, and I love Spring, so this is really a treat! The little wreath in the pot is so cute! I'm thinking about making a few of those, but I just can't get my creative hat on straight these days! Have a sunshiny weekend!!!!

    Cute idea, using the hankies as napkins. I did a little spring decorating tonight after everyone went to bed. It's getting pinker in here all the time! :) This week's Homemaking Linkup is up and I would love to have you join, if you haven’t already.

    Blessings,

    Everything looks so cheerful and cozy! Love your quilt and that wonderful pink pottery to hold your plant. It reminds me that it's time to dig into my stash of pink pottery and get some things going for this spring! I hope your weather gets better soon!
