Thanksgiving Table

Recently, Pat gave a talk to her Garden Club about choosing a dinnerware pattern that is versatile, inexpensive, and easy to use. She chose Johnson Brothers "Autumn Monarch" for the demonstration. Using the same pattern, she easily came up with four different looks. This week's table uses one of them.
Yes, that's my Christmas tree in the background. I confess - I love Christmas and always decorate early.



Flatware is "Musee" by Reed & Barton



Pat layered a Claret "Fiesta(ware)" luncheon plate to add more color

    I would have loved to hear Pat's talk. This is a beautiful table scape and the other combinations would be just as beautiful. Happy Thanksgiving to both of you.

    Beautiful table! Love Johnson's Brothers and the pattern you chose. Many, many years ago purchased twenty-five place settings of one of their selections in all white as was hosting a BBQ and have been using them on a daily basis ever since as they are dishwasher and micro wave safe .... ☺. Also back then, you could also purchase co-ordinating serve-ware. (i.e.: Milk pitcher, butter dish etc.) -Brenda-

      P.S.: This was well before 2003 when their products were still being made in the U.K. and not China.
