The Ghost and Mrs. Muir Table

It's no wonder that Pat decided to pay homage to her favorite romantic fantasy movie this week when I asked her to use our Wedgwood "Flying Cloud" dinnerware. It's a beautiful white and rust pattern that was made from 1969 through 1993 featuring a historic clipper ship in the center. Pat immediately thought of Captain Gregg, sea captain and owner of Gull Cottage who died there years before Mrs. Muir arrived and "won his heart." The movie - "The Ghost and Mrs. Muir" (1947) - is still charming and heart warming after all these years.....

Pat used "Colonial Copper" from Horchow's because it's rustic and masculine

The antiqued copper chargers were a gift to me from Pat's daughter

Pat decided not use the cup and saucer but I wanted to show the neat shape

Another one of our bargains - found on the sale rack at Pier 1 a couple years ago

Of course - Captain Gregg
