vintage linens and lace

my sister and i have had a life-long fascination with vintage tableware. our mom had numerous sets of china, from her post WWII wedding china, heavily bordered in gold and strewn with roses, to the set of vintage all-white haviland limoges which she acquired later in her married life.
we share her love of dishes and enjoy finding vintage table linens to set off these lovely old china patterns.
we came across this elegant and charming little set and were delighted by the very idea of it...
breakfast in bed!
what a wonderful way to start the day...a steaming cup of cafe au lait, a freshly baked croissant, fresh picked berries...

and a cheerful greeting to set the mood for the day.

this weeks theme for make mine pink's friday shopping event is 'linens and lace'.in conjunction with this, we have added a whole new category to our online shop, and have only just begun to stock it with beautiful tablecloths, embroidered pieces, table runners and guest towels.
this breakfast set will be up for grabs, as well as some other fabulous vintage finds.
we hope you will pop in to see what we have and also please visit all the other make mine pink boutiques as we bring you 'linen and lace.'
happy weekend to you all!
