Pink Saturday Featured Blog

 

 

This week I am featuring Laura at Red Door Table Decor.  Laura contacted me about her interest in beginning Pink Saturday, and she said she was interested in being featured.

Laura is a new blogger, and we've all been there.  Please visit her, leave her a nice comment, and welcome her to Pink Saturday.

 

Take a minute to go meet Laura,

and please introduce yourself.

Thank you, Laura,

for your interest in making Pink Saturday special.

 

Laura has written the follow personal message to you.

• Laura at Red Door Table Decor

This is my first time participating in Pink Saturday and I am "tickled pink" to share with you my recent find while shopping at my local antique shop, Summit Antiques Center, Summit, New Jersey.

 

 

About Me:

Since I was a little girl browsing the shops of downtown Chester, NJ with my Mom, I have enjoyed beautiful table settings. Now that I am a newleywed and nesting in our first home, I appreciate that a decorated table is more than pretty china, trifles, and treasures–it is a way to honor your spouse, family, and friends with whom you share your table. Now I find myself on a neverending hunt for French Limoges and English bone china, unique serving pieces, and coordinating linens for holidays and all the days in between. My favorite spots are local antique and consignment shops, unique gifts/home decor shops, and the ultimate…Marché aux Puces St-Ouen de Clignancourt in Paris. I started a blog at the of December featuring tablescape ideas, recipes, and antique treasures. Please visit www.reddoortabledecor.com and you can email me at Laura@reddoortabledecor.com.

Pretty in Pink Limoges:

 

 

I am channeling my inner Spring with this delicate set of early Limoges dessert plates, sugar bowl, and creamer. All the pieces are adorned with the classic Limoges gold patina with handpainted pink floral pattern throughout. Perfect vintage charm!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The mark on the underside reads “Limoges B & H France”. B&H stands for Blakeman & Henderson, a decorating company in New York, that commissioned high quality porcelain, including dinnerware, from the Limoges region of France. This mark was used from 1890-1910.
