Welcome to another double duty post.
Tablescape Thursday & Foodie Friday..
What’s on the Table & Menu today..
- Cheese Stuffed Shells

I have two sets of what I call my Wedding China.. Neither set is expensive but I really loved the pattern and colors.. When I was 17 I started my Hope Chest.. and this is the very first set of china I purchased. At the time I started my Hope Chest there was a store going out of business called Zayre's.. That is where I got most of my home starting supplies for my hope chest and this set of China. Today I’m featuring the set I call “ My Yellow Set” .. It is by Fine China of China.

ReplyDeleteHi Debbie,
ReplyDeleteI just love your gorgeous wedding china! You were way more advanced than me, I never gave china a 2nd look when I was 17, too busy chasing boys (lol).. I love the pretty napkins and the centerpiece is gorgeous and fits perfectly! Now that delicious food, oh yum, thanks for sharing, Hugs, Cindy
Hi Debbie...
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous set of china...I just love the soft buttery yellow and the pretty flower pattern...it's lovely, my friend! I smiled when you wrote about this being the set that you bought for you hope chest...I'm showing a salad plate on my tablescape today that was from a set of dishes that I bought with green stamps when I was 13 for my hope chest!
Your table is beautifully set! I just love those ruffled salad plates...so pretty! Ohh...and your flatware is sooo frenchy and pretty...love them! I loved how you layered your napkins too! Beautiful centerpiece...the entire table is really beautiful, my friend! Thanks for sharing it with us and that yummy recipe too!
Have a wonderfully sweet day!

Oh My Gosh Debbie, When I think you can't get any better, you pull off another beautiful setting. This one is even better than the last. Outstanding job. Do you hear me clapping? Take a bow. And the meal looks so enticing. I would have been out there sampling it for sure. It just looks delish. Thanks for sharing honey. Great post. Country Hugs, Love, Sherry
ReplyDeleteGorgeous table and that dish looks yummy!
ReplyDeleteI do love those old-fashioned chairs at your table. And that china: truly lovely! The colors of the flowers on the plates are such a nice combination. I'm so glad you said where everything came from in such a straight forward manner. Easy on us! And the food looks great!
ReplyDeleteBrenda
Hi Debbie,
ReplyDeleteEverything looks wonderful together. The stemware is very classic-looking and would look good in any setting. Your flatware is beautiful as well. What really knocks me out is your stuffed shells ... they look fantastic! Thanks for sharing the recipe.
bye for now,
Bill
How nice of you to share the recipe with us as well. Lovely table scape you have presented, how nice to be able to utilise all the wonderful peices you have collected.
ReplyDeleteYou have the same dining room set that I have! :) Your table is lovely. I still have my china that I started buying when I was in high school too. I can't let go of anything pretty. :)
ReplyDeleteGood job!
~Liz
Love the tablescape & dinner looks so yummy. I'm hungry. Your china is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteOkay, you're makin' my stomach growl. It is my birthday today and I haven't eaten any dinner yet and it's 7:30. Everybody keeps asking what we're eating. (Obviously, I haven't cooked!) Debbie, you make it all look so doable. Normally, I'd have planned something - at least where to go - but I had a bad reaction this week to the meds and the rest is well, boring.
ReplyDeleteI'd LOVE to have your insider secrets on growing the blog. I thank you so much for offering. You are WONDER woman!
Debbie,
ReplyDeleteThis is my first visit to your blog and I feel so at home. Thanks for your hospitality. I loved the tablescape and your beautiful dishes. I could just taste that delicious looking food. Wow!!!!

ReplyDeleteYour dishes and table look so beautiful! I bought shells this week at the market for the first time in years and now you've provided me with a perfect recipe to make them. I could just dive into that photo!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
