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

Discovering the light from this window was a happy accident. At a certain time in the afternoon, especially on a cloudy day, it's just perfect for photographs.

I guess it does approximate that wintery northern light in those old paintings.

Thank you, love!
