In anticipation of late summer and fall, I thought this afternoon we'd celebrate in browns.

The cloth is a dresser scarf with fancy french knots, satin stich, chain stitch, etc. embroidered by my mom, and edged with lace tatted by my grandmother.

I love the English Burslem pot, hand painted with foxgloves and tulips. The cups, Colclough, Sutherland's "Chiang," and Rosina "4951" all have brown details, and look cheerful gathered with the pot. One spoon is coin silver, the other spoons, the lemon fork and tongs are vintage silverplate. Nibbles are raspberry jam bar cookies, and oatmeal bites.

I'm taking the cup on the bottom left with the thousand flowers. Move over babe and hold your nose, I'm pouring coffee in it : )

I'm not sure how you managed it, but it doesn't look like a photo. The light makes it look like an old Dutch painting.
