Thanksgiving and Grandma's Porcelain China

[Ellene Meece]

Anyone already dreaming about how your Thanksgiving table will look this month? I've been using my grandmother's Franciscan Apple pottery set the past few years but this time I think I will go with my Royal Doulton Heather china. It's very simple cream with gold stripe and could look like this place setting.

Harvest Place Setting

Set the table and mood. Let your table reflect the warm colors of the season. The vibrancy of autumn shines through with aged wood, roses the color of fallen leaves, and fresh produce. A mix of antique and reproduction creamware, vintage amber glasses and dessert plates, and the utter simplicity of beeswax candles sets the mood. Here, propped against a russet-tinged pear, a rectangle of scallop-edged stationery is embellished with silk ribbon. Use your best handwriting to place family and friends around the table.
