My mum has loads of Johnson Bros and Meakin in that 'Romantic England' style, except it's all in blue and white. <br /><br />It's the Mason's Bow and Bells that I really like though. I must confess: I am a little disappointed that these are brown and white. I think they would be spectacular in black and white. Against the natural colour of the tablecloth, wouldn't they really stand out?Louhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09573705937929588747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4478201407511428968.post-13275891305704482842011-12-28T06:00:27.794-05:002011-12-28T06:00:27.794-05:00Enjoyed your table setting dahhling with the brown...Enjoyed your table setting dahhling with the brown mix & match plates...HRH The Duchess of Statehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13468222976305715556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4478201407511428968.post-46018383179960789642011-12-28T01:02:49.030-05:002011-12-28T01:02:49.030-05:00Oooeee!

I am a bit of a nut for brown transferware but have not indulged it much as I am trying to go for a plainer look. But that Bow Bells of your Grandmother's is just lovely. That is a pattern I would buy - I also love a scalloped/ruffled edge that a lot of transferware has! I always notice that I like the Aesthetic movement stuff more as it often has a lot of white space. All lovely!<br /><br />I had to move my paperwhites to the bathroom I use. They smell like cat urine and David hates them - I can live with it because I LOVE the way they look! How do you manage them on the table!? Some people hate the scent. Mine are all opening fabulously today.<br /><br />Well, talk later!! xo's Terri<br /><br />P.S.

My parents always bought a Christmas tree with the ball a planted it after Christmas. Sometimes it worked and sometimes it didn't, but I'm pretty sure ours was in the house too long. Then there was the year that the neighbor thought it would be funny to spray our dead tree with green spray paint. We all had a good chuckle with that :)Renéhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08651977756534816441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4478201407511428968.post-27326116882996443182011-12-27T08:07:31.410-05:002011-12-27T08:07:31.410-05:00Sally and I really liked your living tree idea.
