| The menu -- one at each place setting -- it is permissible for the guest to take them home. |
Often for charity events in our little town, I'll donate a luncheon. It's one way I can contribute to the cause and . . . I love having company!!!! Today, I fulfilled one of my commitments when a winning bidder and three of her guests came to lunch.

A table for four set in the breakfast room. My beloved blue and white, of course, set the table.

| The place setting. |
A Spode Blue Room soup plate, Spode Blue Italian plate, a linen napkin in a silver ring, hotel silver, and a vintage wine glass.

I love a room that's all ready for company . . . .
The menu:
Creamy Carrot and Ginger Soup
Ham and Broccoli Quiche
Mixed Salad Greens with Linderhof vinaigrette
Freshly baked corn made lines
The Silver Palate Carrot Cake
It's Thursday and I'm joining Susan at Between Naps on the Porch for Tablescape Thursday.

Martha,
So elegantly set for your charity luncheon! I adore all of the views from the sunroom. That black piece at the back wall is stunning in your photography! Every item of your menu appeals to my senses!
Fondly,

Both the carrot soup and cake look and sound fantastic. I just love the juxtaposition of the rustic placemats/chargers with the delicate blues. So pretty for your luncheon. I am sure everyone was just delighted.

What a wonderful idea, too -- donating a luncheon for a good cause.
I've been working on our Library to sponsor a house tour, perhaps next year, as a fundraiser. But I also like the idea of the auction. You have so MANY good ideas!
