Welcome to the Blog today, Friends. I am so excited that you are here today. I love going to estate sales and one thing I frequently find are beautiful china patterns for a much-reduced price. It allows you to have a variety of quality dish ware that you can mix and match in your table settings. The Noritake dishes you see above were acquired at an estate sale a few months ago and this is the first time I’m using them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This pattern of ivy leaves with an inner border and a thin line of green around the rim is perfect for a relaxed meal. Even though the pattern is quite intricate there is a feeling of spaciousness and lots of white space making the design quite light and airy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s a closer look art the pattern. You can see all the different shadings of green with a touch of brown around the inner rim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s an Irish pattern called “Ivy Lane” and looks like it is actually made in Ireland. I have such fond memories of our time in Ireland and it is nice to have a pattern that reminds me of those visits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I wanted to keep the setting simple and in keeping with the meal I was planning to serve so I opted for a woven place mat in a natural color. Next came a dark green wooden charger that picked up the darkest green in the china. The dinner plate and the salad\/dessert plates have identical patterns. I separated the two plates using a very dark green napkin folded in three, lengthwise. The setting is simple and casual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The beverages are served in a pottery glass from England that holds the water and a green, glass, wine goblet. The greens blend well and the designs are simple and reflect the relaxed feel of the table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I used my every day Fiddlehead flatware that I have had for many, many years. I still love it. The handles resemble the fiddlehead fern you find in forests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The flowers add that “pop” of color and are in a simple glass vase. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This overhead view shows that the flowers, like the china pattern, have lots of space in the design keeping the feeling nice and light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s another view.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I made a French stew from one of Julia Child’s great recipes to serve for this get together. The meat is fork tender and the dish has rice, tomatoes, and wonderful flavor. I served it with a simple green salad and some French bread hot from the oven.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was lucky to remember to take this photo as I was serving the stew. After that we were too busy talking. LOL<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This lovely estate sale china worked perfectly for this setting. Hope you give estate sales a try and see what wonderful finds you can snag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
