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.

You have excellent taste, my dear! That's the Rosina (not Roslyn, need to fix that), no name, just a number. It has apples, pears, daisies, acorns, ferns, and oak leaves. It's very symbolic of the seasons and things, and after I saw a picture of a cup in the pattern, I stalked one for almost two years before I ran this one to ground.

I'll happily let you use it anytime! For coffee, or hot cider, or whatever you like!
