Once again it is Tablescape Tuesday hosted by Susan of Between Naps on the Porch. My favorite place to eat lunch when I am home alone is at the computer. So, today I've fixed a tray so I can share my lunch time with you, my blogging friends!
The menu today is simple - some salad, creamed cheese & almonds on whole grain bread, a tangelo, and a chocolate brownie.
The glass and salad bowl are Fostoria in the Argus pattern. The larger plate is "Liberty Blue" which was part of a dinner set sold inexpensively in 1976 to celebrate the U. S.'s bicentennial. The Liberty Bell plate is also from 1976 produced by Wedgwood as a special edition award exclusively to Avon Representatives. I found it at a yard sale years ago.
Thanks for sharing lunch with me!A REMINDER!!
On my previous post, I announced a giveaway to celebrate my 100th post. All of the commenters on the previous post and this post will receive a chance to win this apron, potholder, the transferware cup/saucer, and a couple of surprises. So, it is not too late to throw your name in the bowl!! The drawing will be held on January 28th.
Thanks for stopping by and please go by Susan's to find all of the other Tablescape Tuesday participants.

I love the fabric under it all. I love red floral fabrics. What a nice little lunch. I am going to make wheat bread so I can try it with cream cheese and almonds.

ReplyDeleteYou're making me hungry, Sally ... the veggies look delicious! Do you ever visit Ellen Degenere's website? Every day, she posts a picture of what she eats for lunch, often with funny comments.
