Oh what a beautiful morning it is here today!
Recently I showed you my newly purchased bedspread. But what I haven’t shown you is the set of thrifted dishes that I found shortly there after. I snagged these babies, service for 4 for $20.
The floral pattern goes so well with the patchwork flower square in my quilt.
Don’t they look right at home there sitting in my cute red tray? It was a Pottery Barn clearance for $10. There is a slight crack in the bottom, Phew; who cares?
Last Monday I found these fun red utensils at a thrift store. $3.50 for the lot. Oh, and the little red basket was $.50.
Right about now you’re thinking; “Why in the heck does it matter if her dishes match her bedspread?”
Well dearie, I may just have to start having breakfast in bed.
Excuse, me I think I hear the kettle whistling!
In the famous words of Lady Grantham, from Downton Abbey. “Where on earth is Miss O’Brien with my breakfast?”
Oh, I forgot to mention that the silverware is tiny. Perfect for the grandies.
Oh my, think they’re gonna want breakfast in bed too?
Whether you’re having breakfast in bed, cooking your own, or settling for a bowl of cold cereal. Good mornin to ya!
hugs,
Jann

lovely! I like the red very much and agree that breakfast in bed is certainly in order.
Jann - I'm jealous...
I like it soooooooooo much - if I could I'd go and buy the whole set right now.
Simply BEAUTIFUL
Oh this is a cute and funny post! I love your bargain set, and yes it is perfect for a tray on the bed. Like you Miss O’Brien is never there with my tray!
Enjoy your weekend.

Cute post and cute red items-those seem like quite the find, now to find someone who can cook that breakfast and bring it in for you. ;-)
Beautiful! Can't believe you got such a good deal on the dishes, and I love that they match your bedspread. Great deal on the tray, too, and we always love us some red, right?! Mary
Jann, I like all you new red accent pieces. Too sweet. xoxo,Susie
Love the dishes and love that pretty quilt!!
Jan:
Just Google Cece Caldwell's website to see the blues, etc colors are great! I think you will like it but the wax is also dull. I don't think it is supposed to shine but Cece also has a Satin Finish product you can use on top if you like more shine. There is no smell.

Hello, Jann!
How I love all your cheery reds. As much as I enjoy all the soft Eastery colors...I seem to
always gravitate to my favorite...RED!
What delightful bargains you have found...That makes it even sweeter!
Have a Happy Happy Easter, my darling friend.
Blessings across the miles,
Carolynn xoxo
Jann- I just LOVE LOVE LOVE those dishes. Your quilt makes the perfect backdrop for them. I wish I had a Miss O'Brien to bring me breakfast in bed! xo Diana
Adorable dishes and I love the flatware also. I mean who doesn't need dishes that match their bedroom?
hugs,
Linda
Jann,
Just love the red! You surely do have a talent for finding great bargains! I always seem to be too late!
Hugs!

Oh Jann, you are so right, a match made in Heaven, but forget breakfast is bed, how about a picnic on the bed .... have always loved red transferware, and yours is charming.
PICNIC in bed with the grands ! :)
I love pops of red, it is the most cheerful color! Have a wonderful Easter....be safe!
These dishes are perfect. I love the color and the pattern, love the the silverware and that quilt is beautiful! Happy Easter, Jann!!
Cynthia
You can bring me breakfast in bed anytime with that cute quilt and great china!
You will definitely need a maid to bring you your breakfast, when you have all that finery around you!
You've found some wonderful items, Jann. I love the pretty dishes and I agree, who cares if there is a crack in the tray, just gives it character. I think the quilt you are using to cover the table is gorgeous! The pictures you have take are great and so colorful to look at and enjoy. Happy Easter to you and yours!
Jann,
So pretty!! You know how I love red!!
Thanks for stopping by to visit and leaving such sweet comments!!
Wishing you a very Happy Easter!!
Hugs,
Debbie
That post made me smile--big! I love that your dishes need to match your bed. And I can just envision the happy mess of jam and butter and milk and tea from a picnic with the grandies in the most comfy place of all!
Have a blessed and happy Easter!
