1. Tablecloth found at garage sale reminds me of Africa.
2. Butter keeper found at a charity shop.
A well beneath holds water or ice for keeping butter cold.
3. Gifted salt and pepper on the table more for charm than use.
4. Very vintage salt cellars from my MIL are used to hold teabags after steeping.
5. The green of lettuce on my G.Will Churchill dishes enhances the table.
A bed for chicken salad to rest upon.
But more than any pretties on the table, it's about those that put aside the
stresses of a day and sit around the table, sharing a meal and celebrating friendship.
Joining Amy's Five on Friday.
Such pretty things on your table today!! I love that they are both old and new, and even some bargains. I also love what you say about the friends gathered around the table. Yes, that's what it's about!
ReplyDeleteI love what you have to say about sitting around the table in friendship, just beautiful as is all the elements of your chosen five on the table. Lovely post.
ReplyDeleteLovely blue and hints of yellow on your table, Dotsie. So true about those sitting at your table being the most important! It is a lovely table set for good conversation. ♥

ReplyDeleteHow I love pretty tables. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteWonderful Five. What pretty pieces. As I'm a lover of dishes and table settings I really enjoyed your five!
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of a butter dish with a well for cold water below. I've blogged about the butter bell I have that sits upside down in cold water as well but my butter always falls out into the water. Time to Google and find out why. lol
ReplyDeleteI agree that it doesn't matter what is on the table, it's the people around that bring the greatest joy.
Your table looks very smart with all those lovely things on it. My parents had those blue and white plates.
ReplyDeleteLovely post, really like the butter dish.
