Red Transferware


Since I acquired a set of red transferware this summer
 I am going to use it for Christmas.
So many of you are doing the same and are a great inspiration to me.



I have more dishes in this set. 
I still have not decided if I am preparing brunch on Christmas morning. 
I better hurry with that decision.


I laugh every time I look at these photos. 
I cannot keep spoons half way straight in a stacked tablescape. 
Just think what horrible errors I would make if I actually set a full table.
 I shudder to think of it.


Happy Christmas
Olive

  6. I am right there with you! I used mine for the first time last year and am using it again. My sweet husband just bought me 8 salad plates in the Johnson Brothers Old Britain Castles green Christmas tree pattern. I cannot wait to add them to the Romantic England. Lol, I get so excited about red/pink transferware! I'm sure yours will be beautiful!!

  14. I think red transferware is gorgeous year round. Yours will be beautiful for Christmas morning. We usually do homemade waffles on Christmas morning. So delicious! There is always such good food to eat during December.

  15. Lovely Red Willow pieces! I'm thinking of a brunch also but haven't decided either. One thing I do make every year, whether it's for breakfast or brunch, is a Canadian Bacon Casserole. It is our favorite brunch casserole!

  26. What a wonderful set of transferware. It wasn't until I was a blogger that I really knew what it was and appreciated transferware. Does it come in green too? I've seen it in so many colors now that I am "aware" of it. How fun to have some green and red together. I think the spoons look more natural as they are in the picture - hmmmfff. Ann

  27. Hey sweet friend ~

    I only have one piece
    of red transfer ware,
    a pitcher, and it really
    makes me smile at this
    time of year. Imagine,
    a whole set of red T
    dishes! Lucky!

    I know you'll set a
    magic table, whether
    brunch, dinner or
    both : )

    Happy Saturday,
    xo Suzanne
