Before my mother passed away, she gave me a few of her hand made table runners, doilies and various other textiles which I've been  using in  some of my art work.  I  pulled this beautiful  embroidered  panel from my keepsake drawer and  decided to stage it with  some antique enamel pieces I  had.  The tall pitcher is an old milk jug -  my understanding is the farmers would pour the fresh milk into a pitcher of this sort for serving.  If anyone out there knows different - please let me know...  The small tea pot is part of my collection as is the ladle and cup.  The speckled blue enamel is one of my favorites - bright and cheerful.  The oil in the painting  has sunken in a bit and I'll be either oiling it out or  putting some varnish on it soon.    Thought I'd  post a pic of it since it's been a while since I've posted.  (I haven't been posing the small pieces I've  done...   )
