On the table I used a white lace tablecloth which I discovered when I was cleaning up Christmas items last week. I placed a navy textured table runner across the table.
I set up my place setting this morning with some new to me blue & white dinnerware my aunt gave me last week. These few plates, bowls and a small platter will be a nice supplement to my collection of blue and white dishes.
There was a variety of vintages in the pieces I received which included Classic White Blue Nordic by J&G Meakin and Nordic by Johnson Brothers. A few quite a bit older that the others.
I placed the Blue Nordic plate onto an Off White Swirl Pattern dinner plate by Myott Meakin which features the same swirl design.
I served Earl Grey tea with honey and cream.
The mug is 365+ Cobalt Blue by IKEA which goes well with the plates.
I put a dessert plate of the Blue Nordic under the white porcelain tea pot.
The blue marker on the tea pot handle tells me that this is the first brew of the tea.
Cheese Tea Biscuits made with whole wheat flour and old cheddar cheese tastes great. I made half a recipe which produced 12 small biscuits.
I added some navel orange slices which provides a punch of color and some of the precious Vitamin C during this time of the year.
I placed a bit of butter and some orange marmalade on a small porcelain rectangular dish. The marmalade is the healthiest possible by Smuckers with no sugar added.
This was a great breakfast. I enjoyed three cups of tea over a few hours this morning.
