Light Blue Depression Glass

On June 6th I wrote about purchasing some light blue Depression dishware.  You can read the post here.  I promised to share photos when I used the dishes.  On June 24th I had a birthday tea for three dear friends where the dishes made their first appearance.   I didn't have matching soup bowls, luncheon plates or bread and butter plates, so I mixed and matched my Johann Haviland Blue Garland china.



The Birthday Gals


Iced Tea - Celestial Seasonings Herbal Wild Berry Zinger
Hot Tea - Peach Mango Black Tea
[This looks like a Sadler Teapot, but it's backstamped Churchill, Made in Romania.]


Chilled Blueberry Soup and Savory Cheesy Basil Scones


Broccoli Salad


Tuscan Torte


Chocolate Mound Birthday Cake [I blogged about the recipe here]


I have  since acquired the soup bowls, but I'm still searching for luncheon/salad plates and bread and butter/dessert plates.
