February Breakfast 2nd half




















I was trying to go as pink as I could with just touches of red.  The three candles are ones I enjoy every February.
The teapot is Old Country Roses of course but a new one bought in 2000 or so to replace the original which was bought in 1986 and used till it fell apart.  The sugar (and a creamer) are original to 1986.
I am also using a bit of the rest of my Old Country Roses set for 4 that I bought in '86 and have not broken one piece of yet, thank goodness.

Current breakfast book is a rereading of Speer's Inside the Third Reich.

First half of February breakfast

Using my new bright red teapot and sugar bowl and even my red glass cup and small plate!  I still have my "winter" lights there with the snowflakes on them and red candles in brass candelabra.

Because of the Oriental New Year (and the fact that we went to a wonderful wedding of a girl from China and a fellow from right here where we live) and because I like many things Oriental not to mention the color red - a bit of a salute in the dining room.
