It was a cold January, 2015 Wednesday. I was progressing well in therapy from my first knee replacement surgery, and I was so excited to be able to host my Garden Friends Bible study once again. I was determined to make a large pot of my chicken noodle soup, and I invited the ladies to remain for an easy-going, laid back comfort meal for lunch. We're eating in the living room at the games table. We were a small group this day, and I set a table for five. Won't you join us, please?
One of my sweet friends brought a bunch of bright yellow mums to bring some sunshine to a cold dreary day...
Still not able to make quick trips to the market for fresh flowers, I relied on the Burleigh Blue Willow tureen for my centerpiece, a long ago gift from Sweet Mister...
Sigh...makes me very happy.
...the Real Old Blue Willow rimmed soup.
Ready to roll...

How beautiful, Cherry Kay. I don't think there is anything prettier than Blue Willow. That 2015 afternoon must have been a lovely one - all the best components!
ReplyDeleteSometime when you make your chicken noodle soup, put a scoop of Stove Top Chicken Stuffing in the bowl and the soup on top....that is how my Momma used to make it and it was Chicken Soup Surprise! Thanks for sharing your menu, love it!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful table for your group. Those dishes are gorgeous. You kept yourself busy while going through your knee surgery recovery!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! The blue Willow plates are lovely and the tureen makes a stunning centerpiece. Love the stemware and the beautiful table covering too.
ReplyDeleteYou entertain with such elegant style and I'm betting friends look forward to being welcomed at your table. BTW, the new header photo is lovely.i hope your knee is rehabbing well.
ReplyDeleteI love your blue table setting. I just discovered your blog from Infuse with Liz. I will be following! sheila
ReplyDeleteReal Olde Blue Willow.. oooh sigh this makes my heart go pitter patter. The quest has begun for a set for us. I do like the shorter, smaller dollar tree wines. The larger ones are lets just say too large! But perfect for an iced tea when it's sweltering. I have always had an affinity for Xenia.. it's just gorgeous. It plays so well with the Booth's. Your tables are always book worthy, so why don't you do one??
ReplyDeleteLove and Hugs, Marlis
Hello CK,
ReplyDeleteWhat a FABULOUS pattern! Oh, WOW it is stunning! If I had to layer I would use only clear glass or use the same pattern like you. The table is a feast for the eyes. Regards, Robin
