Oh what a Romantic Table! I love the softness of it all, with those delicate rose pattern dishes and their scalloped edges. That tureen is not only a great centerpiece, but just perfect for that delicious Chili you made!! I love your cherubs. Are they Lenox? I especially love the one sitting in the pair of hands. That's so different. Sitting at your table, enoying the food and fire...if I were a guest... (chillin) .. I'd have a hard time leaving! lol

PD, that is such a pretty table. I love those pretty rose dishes and your tureen. Those pink gingham napkins are really sweet. The porcelain cherubs, make everything look very romantic. - Gail

Printer, that is a pretty-in-pink table! What a lovely soup tureen. Your use of it as a centerpiece is making me think I need one. That Chicken and Green Chile soup sounds like it would warm you up...is it spicy?
Thanks for sharing!

I'm crying now. Been wanting a soup tureen sooo long. Waiting for a bargain. Congrats!

Very pretty!
Love the tureen too!

I think you are dropping part of the 'address' and that is why you have it in the message. Usually it is the beginning or ending

Printer, what a great find that tureen was. I don't have any, but I think they are so neat. Your soup sounded good too. Your plates are similar to some salad plates I have, and I have those same glasses also--use them everyday,DH likes big glasses. ;o) Your little cherub in the hands is so sweet. You probably already know that I like cherubs too. Glad you had a warm cozy dinner at your pretty table. Luvs

Thanks everyone. The cherubs are just some that I have picked up through the years. The one that several commented on in the "hands" was one that I bought in a hospital gift shop for my Mom. She was having surgery not long after the loss of my son and was having complications with an infection that settled in the leads of her pacemaker. She was so sad and not coping without our Mick. She always had collected angels and I found this little cherub and bought it for her and told her it was Mick, who would always be with her. I keep each of these and several of her angel collection on a dresser in the bedroom where I have my desktop computer.

The Green Chile soup can be as spicy or hot as you want. This one was rather bland by my standards. It definitely needed more green chiles!

I bought the roses dishes at a church TS for $1 a piece! The soup tureen came from there too and was $24. I picked up the pink plates shown stacked together on the upper right edge of table in one photo at TJ Maxx last week on a clearance. I used them for dessert.

twomonths, I'm not sure what you mean that I did with the address. Did I need to remove that portion? For some reason I always forget how to post pics so that they will show in the posts. I spent a long time copying and pasting the addresses and previewing and for the life of me don't know which ones worked! You'd think I would have figured this out! I do the same thing on HGTV. I just have a memory block on which area to copy and paste from Photobucket. I do know now how to change the setting on my digital camera to make the resolutions low enough so I don't have to go to Paint and reduce.

What a pretty table! I love your dishes and they look perfect for your Post-Valentine's table. Your salad plates are wonderful, BTW! Did they come with your flowered dinner plates or from a different set?

So you make Green Chile Soup, too? Being from New Mexico I have several recipes I use. The Green Chile Stew with the ground beef and potatoes is one. My green chile soup (I call it Old Town Soup) actually starts out with a base of Campbells Cream of Chicken Soup and then I add shredded cooked chicken and chopped green chiles. I top it with shredded Monteray Jack cheese, crumbled tortilla chips and fresh cilantro.
Gosh, I've made myself hungry just looking at your pretty table and thinking about my Old Town Soup! I may make it for our dinner tonight!

Lynn,
The salad plates came from T.J. Maxx. I found them on a clearance table for 2 each. They are a perfect color. I only have the DP and soup bowls for the roses ones.

your soups sound wonderful.

Printersdevil - Nice table. And good deals on the plates to boot! Love all the cherubs and the soup tureen. I really think I need to get one of those nice tureens. They look lovely.

Lynne, your soup recipe sounds wonderful. You are making me hungry!
