Today's tablescape is on the breakfast table in the kitchen. I used my Blue Willow china along with a piece of toile material for a runner and blue checked napkins.
I used Blue Willow bowls placed on top of my everyday wedding china: Nantucket Basket by Wedgwood. This pattern is so versatile! I had picked out Nantucket Basket even before I was engaged. Why wait to eat on nice dishes until you're married? My family members were kind enough to give me pieces for my birthday and Christmas until I was able to finish out place settings for twelve with wedding gifts. 
I've really enjoyed my Blue Willow pieces, too. You can read about my find here.
The stainless flatware is Easton by Oneida. It is our everyday flatware. I like the simplicity of the design and how the notches echo the wicker rim of Nantucket Basket.
A January meal calls for a warm cup of tea after dinner, don't you think? What about Harney & Sons chocolate mint?
The covered casserole I've used as the centerpiece of this setting is usually displayed in the hutch. I'll be using it today to keep chili warm. A Blue Willow serving bowl temporarily has taken its place in the hutch.
I love checks with the toile. It has such a French Country feel.

Blue Willow is so classic! This is a very lovely tablescape and I like so much that you used the toile linens in it.

My mother had blue willow so it's always a nostalgic look for me -- you've put this all together beautifully -- toile always reels me in!
Oh, this is so pretty! I just adore Blue Willow, and you really have some nice pieces. I love how you'ved paired it with toile and gingham. Very classic. Thanks for sharing and happy TT to you!
When I first opened your post, I gasped. I love the table. That tureen is so very nice. I love the candlesticks. Toile is a weakness, too. You did a great job. I like the fact that you started getting yourself the beautiful white plates even when you were single.
