Not Ready For Fall Coffee Table

I wanted to change the vignette on the
coffee table in the family room.
I was tired of the Summer lookof shells,
but I'm not quite ready to do Fall, 

I needed a transitional look.

Here's my compromise.

I brought in the silver tray from the 

cobbler's bench  in the living room.

 This was a retirement party gift to my
 father-in-law given on April 5, 1976.

The signatures are from fellow board members at
 Standard Oil of Indiana.

 That'll be the base for the vignette.

I'll cover-up all the signatures with my things.

The tray came in a velvet lined box 

with this identification card, which I kept.

 On top of the books I placed this tea cup and saucer.

It's one from my tea cup collection.

I had found it at the Kane Country
Antiques & Flea Market years ago.

 It has a lovely blue and white pattern.

Don't know the name.

Very delicate.

It's made in England. 

Coalport bone china, established in 1750. 

I think I'll have tea in it today.

I'll need something to go with the tea, of course.

These are Lemon Brownies.

I haven't given up my chocolate,

 but these were a nice change and very good.

Cheers!
