A Rose By Any Other Name Would Smell As Sweet

Loveliest of lovely things are they on earth that soonest pass away.  The rose that lives its little hour is prized beyond the sculptured flower.
~William C Bryant~


Three plates

Three Potters

Three Patterns

I love to mix and match my dishes,

especially transferware that has a unifying theme or color, or both.



Whether it be painted,

or transferred onto a plate,

Whether made of silk,

Or of linen and lace,

A "rose is a rose is a rose is a rose"

  16. Nancy, the colors in this tableware are just gorgeous! I love the way you paired the transferware to the roses and your beautiful napkin rose takes the cake. I have a new blog and would love it if you could come to visit me and maybe answer a question I have about my little sugar and creamer that look like flow blue but I'm not sure.
    Keep up the great work, love your blog!

  25. Nancy, I agree that roses are very lovely. Your dish patterns are beautiful, and I indeed like the rose folded napkins gently stored in their 'vases'.

    Happy Pink to you,
    Marianne
