Forget-me-nots and lace

Hello everyone!  Sorry, I didn't realize that I didn't put up a message in my last post that I would be gone for a bit--I went on another vacation!  I've got lots of new pictures to go through before I can post about that trip, but I have a few other things to share first.  To start, I thought I would both post a teaser of my trip and get September's Flower of the Month post done with a couple of days before the end of the month to spare!


One of September's Flowers of the month is the forget-me-not.

 
This set is Royal Albert's Caroline.  If you've been following me for awhile, Caroline is my full name, and I have a collection of different china patterns with my name.

 
But now on to the trip teaser.
 



The lace underneath the set I bought during my trip on a little fishing island, Burano, in Italy. 

 
Burano is adorable with multi-colored houses and little "rivers" running through town, and is famous for lace.  The very first shop I walked in the owner was working on lace herself--she actually made the small piece I ended up buying.  Here was the little shop:
 


I had a wonderful visit to Italy, and I'm really looking forward to sharing more about the trip--even though it may be awhile.

    Your lace table dressing is absolutely exquisite! The precise handiwork is amazing. It's a bit of history as this pattern and skill has probably been passed down from multiple generations. These are the types of "souvenirs" I like to purchase when traveling. Looking forward to hearing more about your trip!

    I have been following your blog for a while and enjoying it very much but now adding this lace to the mix has thrown me over the edge!!! It is gorgeous! It looks so pretty with your setting. I had to comment. I can't wait to hear more about your trip.
