Vintage Spode Autumn Tablescape

Pat had help with this week's tablescape. Our great-niece was here from Washington D.C. and had stopped by to see how we were all doing. Naturally, being a dishaholic like many of the family, she couldn't resist "picking up plates to play with." 

Pat created the centerpiece using an assortment of amber glass and wooden pumpkins

Being unafraid and unencumbered by tradition of mixing patterns, styles and colors, our great-niece blended vintage Spode "Buttercup" with inexpensive Spice Route "Ginger" from Pier 1 and everyday  Homer Laughlin's "Chocolate" Fiesta(ware) bread and butter plate.

Flatware is Brown "Roma" by D&D Design

Glassware is "Clarion" by Lenox

Where it came from:

Ivory Napkins/Place Mats - from Linentablecloth.com (mail order) several years ago

Brown Chargers - Inexpensive lacquer charger thrifted  and then spray painted with plastic-adhesive spray paint

Dinnerware - Spode "Buttercup" (1924-2003) mostly gifted to me by Pat

Accent Plate - "Spice Route Ginger" from Pier 1 years ago

Bread and Butter Plates - "Chocolate" Fiesta(ware) by Homer Laughlin from Replacements,Ltd.

Flatware - Brown "Roma" by D&D Design from Horchow several years ago

Glassware - "Clarion" Brown by Lenox (1977-1983) from a local Bridal shop long out of business

Napkin Rings, Amber Glass Pumpkins, Wooden Pumpkins and hemstitch gold napkins - from Pier 1 over the years
