Vintage Queen Anne and Birds


Usually when friends come to visit they bring a cake ... or a bottle of wine ... or flowers, don't they?  But when a friends who knows you really well comes to visit she brings ......


beautiful vintage Queen Anne plates!


I'm so lucky - a very good friend brought me this lovely plate and saucer.


They are gorgeous and I think I am going to make a cakestand with them.


Isn't this fabric cute?

It's called "Birdy"  - gorgeous!  Not sure what to make with it yet, though.


I'm sure I'll think of something.

Love, Liz

Your friend knows you well! I'd rather have a gift of pretty china than chocolates any day,and it lasts a lot longer too.
Luscious fabric! :0)

What a lovely gift from your friend! And the fabric matches it beautifully. I think you should make a table centerpiece, or napkins, or something that you can use when you have those plates out for tea. :-)

Beautiful plates and fabric. Good to have freinds who know you so well that they can give such lovely things.
Sorry for being abscent, but I have had a long long holiday this year.
