My sweet mom bought me this beautiful Russian Blue and White Sugar from her latest trip to St. Petersburg. She and my dad are both retired and travel somewhere every year.
She is always on the look out for something pretty. I love this piece. I have a sugar from Romania too, so I love the beauty of each piece.
We celebrated my brother's 40th birthday last night.
My parents were in Russia on his birthday, so we waited til they came home, rested, celebrated their grandson and then had Murphy's birthday dinner.
My brother is low key, to say it best...no big parties or balloons, no jokes or pranks...
just a dinner with his family.

I thought this runner was appropriate to have just enough fall colors for an October birthday and yet has hints of blue to compliment the Blue Willow and Indies Blue dishes.
I set the table again this morning with these water goblets, white napkins and candles.
Since my boys sat with us, they used Fall melamine plates from Target. I served salsa in this Blue Willow gravy boat. My brother's favorite meal is fajitas!
I found this Romanian butter dish at Marshall's years ago. I LOVE it!

Your tablescape is beautiful. I love all of your dishes and accessories. I spied some beautiful fabric pumpkins, so cute. I especially love your new blue and white sugar from Russia. What a treasure. Happy BD to your brother. I am sure you all had a fabulous dinner. Thanks for joining TTT. Hugs, Marty

So many beautiful elements in your lovely tablescape. I adore the Russian sugar bowl. I have two cherished coffee/tea pots that Sweet Mister brought me from his trip there. Such amazing workmanship. Thank you for sharing your warm and beckoning table with us. Cherry Kay
Your table is so lovely and cozy. Perfect for a family get together. Blue willow is my everyday dishes. Love them! I also love your stemware. Are your pumpkins made from toilet paper rolls? We did that with our kids a few years ago and I still use them every year! Thanks for stopping by, and Happy Halloween!
BEAUTIFUL blue and white pieces!!! Absolutely beautiful!!! You did a good job of bringing a bit of autumn to the table, too! I like your brother's name. Murphy. Sounds like a really cool, laid-back guy with not even a hint of attitude. Happy Birthday to him, and GOOD JOB to you!!! Oh...and the pie is beautiful. Looks professional!
