Thursday morning is here again, and I went through my photo archive to see if there is something I have not yet shown on VTT. Suzanne is hosting this weekly fun
So what did I find there? A hand painted bowl for vegetables or sweets perhaps?
Maybe I will serve a cucumber salad in this, when the cucumbers taste like summer again. Thin slices of long green cucumber shaken with some salt and sugar in a bowl covered with a plate, then add cold water and vinegar until it tastes right. Lots of fresh dill crowns the salad. Serve cold with all kinds of summer food.
The flowers are painted by Great Aunt Saima.
The bowl is by Arabia, the flowers from 1948.
There was another picture from my old china cupboard, a porcelain basket for bisquits:
Isn't this sweet and romantic? All I need is the cookies, and company for tea.
The bottom markings only tell me that this is imported.
This was it for this week's VTT. Coloradolady has a long list of links of places to visit and enjoy. Happy VTT!
P.S. Today would have been Great Auntie Saima's birthday. Happy birthday, Saima!
