The Green and Gold Luncheon

There are two things I know about myself to be true; I love the color green and anything vintage or that has the look of antiquity. This attraction began as a teenager and has remained true all of my life. Having lived in many of states that were once called the colonies may have something to do with it, or it could be that I do just love history. The dishes featured today are a perfect example. They were added to my collection a year or so ago. I was drawn to them because they have the ornate gold filigree pattern I so often associate with fine antique china. Then of course they were green - gotta have 'em.
I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.

Welcome to -
The Green and Gold Luncheon

With all the snow outside

this tablecloth centerpiece

reminded me of the patterns in snowflakes

Because of the square shape of the tablecloth

I added white placemats to the hosts seating

Here you can see the gold trim and filigree

on the dinner plate that gives this pattern

its' vintage appearance.

Shown here with the companion soup bowl,

the name of the collection is Melissa

 sold under the Vintage Home Essentials

and Beyond brand

The candlestick holder was a

GW find in Annapolis 

The little Victorian lady belonged to my

Great Aunt

On the buffet server

I have a few pieces of

vintage linens

My favorite would have to be

 this lace hankie

resting on the cake plate

One last look back.....
