Beautiful China display and I too have done that sweet jug stitchery of Jenny's although not the applique.

It looks lovely and summery decorated with your upcycled pots and the plants. Your beautifully stitched spring posies look perfect in the embroidery hoop and how lovely the buzzy bees oilcloth looks covering your table, with the pretty vase of flowers sitting on top.
