Welcome to My Cozy Corner *2013* edition.
The weather here in the far northern end of California has been bitter cold. We had some snow and I took a few photos of the scenery in the garden. Go Here. Then the temps dropped down to the low 20's for a few days. I have a very sunny window in the dining room, so I decided to photograph a few vignettes of my new tea set I received as a gift before Christmas.
I think it's incredibly beautiful.
Lomonosov Russian Porcelain made in Russia and I have an idea what the pattern is. But not sure enough to go public. If any of you know the pattern, please make a comment or e-mail me. I keep a binder on my china for future reference. You never know when you might have to liquidate a collection.
Hopefully I have six granddaughters and they will be interested in collecting china also.
The little cherubs are sunning themselves in the window.
This Blue and White tea set was a bonus and a complete surprise to me. ENJOY!
They were a little dingy hanging in my mother's bedroom for so many years.
Need a romantic touch? Add a burning candle.
Hope you enjoyed the Winter Blue and White.
