It’s the first day of fall, which is my favorite season for entertaining! While we’re still spending as much time as possible outdoors, the day is coming when it’s too chilly to entertain outside, so I’m starting to think about indoor settings.
For a small lunch or brunch, our breakfast area is just perfect. Surrounded by windows and overlooking our yard and stream, this spot offers guests a cozy place to gather and spot the wildlife outside.
I loved using my vintage delft china for this tablescape. I’ve been collecting delft pieces since we got married, but I was lucky enough to snag eight place settings of this china a few years ago on eBay. I had never seen such a complete set, and for such a great price. I could not hit “Buy it now” quickly enough! Look at those adorable teacups!
I paired this china with my husband’s vintage glassware. We call these his “goosy” glasses because they feature a pattern of frosted flying geese, a common sight around here in the fall. His grandfather used to drink his manhattans out of these glasses.
What is your favorite vintage possession? Did you find it or inherit it?
