Spring Brunch Table

Last week I showed you a table set with my Nashville sister's Castleton Empire china.  During my visit we also set a brunch table with her everyday china, Gorham Sweet Violet.  We cut flowers from a shrub in her yard for the centerpiece, and we also pulled some wild violets to complement the china.

Here's a closer look at a placesetting.  I love the all-over violet pattern on the salad plate.  The placemats and napkins are from Bed, Bath, and Beyond, and the stainless is my sister's everyday flatware.

Here's an even closer look -- the china is in pretty good shape after nearly 20 years of daily use!

The teacup is a pretty shape.

The sugar bowl and creamer are also gracefully shaped.

Here's a better look at the freshly picked wild violets.

I love her iron bird candlesticks.

And here's a bird's eye view of the table -- very fresh and pretty for a spring brunch!

Thanks for visiting, and please also stop by Susan's Between Naps on the Porch to see some beautiful tablescapes.
