Our lunch table is set up in the living room today....I brought in a small fold down table from the garage storage, just the right size for two for tea or two for lunch.
Today it's all about the little chicks....cute little fluffy chicks..... and of course the dishes, playing in the dishes...............
I love the fluffy chicks, don't they look sweet perched on the soft pink Hibiscus Kiss ....(Hibiscus tea with a drop of honey)

The pretty depression glass was a gift from my friend Mary, she knows I love it....the white plates are Lenox.....(you gotta love them cause they feel like silk) The cute cookie chick suckers are from Big Lots......Love their sweet little cheeks.........
Yummmmy....
The Hobnail glasses, again a gift from my friend Mary, many years ago....
Notice the shiny cushiony little stickers of chicks on the simple martini glasses, it makes them special for today...They are from Michaels............
The little chick cupcake containers are from Michaels.............here chick chick..
Small egg nest plates are from Marjolein Bastin for Natures Journey....so sweet
This is one of my Moms tablecloth, left to me.....love the delicate little flowers and leaves...
How did that bunny get in here, oh well maybe just one....................The candy dish is lovely depression glass and so delicate..........
Love the pretty flatware from Ross, lots of fun uses this summer, such pretty colors....
The napkin rings are from GW, love the perfect colors the delicate little flowers, and the price wow..................
I love mixing fun pieces with serious older collectables, it keeps them fresh and current when mixed in a playful setting, I guess now that I write that thought, it makes me realize I think that about most things......Keeping old valued pieces relivant, Maybe thats by not taking them to seriousely...I guess if I had a Mission Statement that would be my goal..........I love taking the older dishes out of the cupboard and after a warm bath letting them breath a little and make some new friends, maybe even a new young collector or two, before going back in the cupboard.....what do you think????
The soft pink votives are Citrus Blush and are from Claire Burke, oooooooohhhhhh the wonderful smell of the soft citrus is amazing...........

Thats a picture of my Mom in the background, I think she would have loved having lunch at this special little table just for two. She would have just raved over the depression glass, touched the embroidered flowers on the tablecloth so carefully. She would have tasted the candy, smelled the flowers on the table and laughed at the fluffy chicks...then announced "well, bring on the lunch" who could ask for more from a table setting...Not me...
