Vintage dishware and matching hand embroidered linens

make the dining table say "welcome and enjoy!"

don't you think?

As most of you might remember, I found this wonderful set of rose designed dishes a few weeks ago, and plan to sell them in my shop.

 

They have such a beautiful design. I also want to sell matching table linens, such as napkins and tablecloths to go with the dishes.

I have several pretty vintage rose transfers. So I just used this rose head design to hand embroider...........

Added a bud, and small yellow leaves to match the ones on the plate...........

and added a stem with red thorns and leaves to match as well.

It turned out to be very pretty............

I think................

 

and it matches my dishes very well.............

don't you think?

 

This is a table cloth that I am working on for the set of dishes...........

This is only the center design. There will be roses along the corners and probably stitched eyelets along the middle edges. A crocheted edging will also be added.

Since there are gravy bowls, a platter , salt and pepper shaker, and dinner plates, I will also make matching dinner napkins.

I think this will pull someones  heart strings and they will want to take it all home.

I do plan to also show and sell on Etsy.............letting those of you who live too far away to visit my shop a chance to purchase dishes and embroidery as well.

How about you?

Do you have your favorite dishes with matching linens?

Do you like to set a table with dinnerware and linens?

I would love to hear!

One more note...............

I am still working on creating a vintage country garden. After weeks of applying stripper and hand stripping off layers of paint..........the vintage gingerbread archway is now standing over my designed path! To read more about this and my garden plans just click onto this link
