I LOVE Spode Blue Italian. It's so bright and fun and quite frankly, makes a gorgeous table. I keep mine in a little side cupboard off the breakfast area. My favorite part about it? It's an old pattern, but the china is NEW and you can microwave and put it in the dishwasher. Of course I never do that, I hand wash all my china after use. But I don't have to worry about it being too vintage or "fragile" to use. I like to USE my stuff!
Breakfast this morning:
I'm all about pattern on pattern. So of course I have the placemats too. And this whole breakfast, by the way, is completely Keto. All of it, eggs, bacon, toast, jam, tea and custard are a whopping SIX NET GRAMS of carb. I tend to eat most of my 20 carbs a day at breakfast. Breakfast is the best. My favorite meal. Especially when you have a cute toast rack:
This is why I love Ebay. The toast rack isn't mainstream. A lot of my favorite pieces aren't. (Yes, I took the teapot from my "tea for one" set and I'm using it, it's perfect for breakfast.) I have a jam jar as well, and I have this lovely 200th Anniversary set:

It's my "berries and cream" set. But it's very versatile. I also have a soup tureen. Not sure why, but if I ever serve Minestrone it's my go-to.
I made the sugar cubes myself with Erythritol. Which is Keto as well. Three lumps for me!
What a beautiful pattern. So bright and cheerful. I can't imagine you'd ever go wrong with it.
