2nd Fall Table using Transferware Plates, 2017

Hello everyone! I hope you are enjoying this cooler Fall weather. It's still pretty warm here in Florida but it gets a little cooler after a rain.

Although I am still pretty busy cleaning up after the hurricane, I made time to create my second Fall tablescape. This time I decided to use brown transferware for the plates.

The table cloth is by April Cornell.

For the dinner plates, I used Johnson Bros, Historic America series in "Massachusettes" pattern.

For the salad plates, I mixed and matched them, 4 are from the Historic America series, 2 Royal Staffordshire bowls and 2 acorn shaped plates.

I picked some santan flowers (also known as ixora) from our garden to use as part of my centerpiece. I surrounded the vase with chicken S & P shakers, some votive candle holders and a squirrel.

The napkin rings used are a wooden brown acorn and 2 green ceramic veggies, an asparagus and an artichoke alternating one another.

I bought the square beaded placemats from a thrift shop in Utah.

The bone flatware are from Horchow.

A pineapple S& P shakers given to me by my stepdaughter.

The whole house is decorated for Fall too. I just want to show you a few pictures.

For tea, I took out the brown transferware tea set to blend with the dinnerware. I dug out my lighted amber tree from the garage. I bought it from Kirkland's many years ago when we still lived in Natchez, MS.

And there it is, another fall table. I hope you like it. Thank you so much for your visit and thanks to all the hostesses throwing all these fun memes that I am joining.

Brown Transferware

Cooler mornings inspired me to take my brown transferware out and use them. I took out a brown linen tablecloth and then looked around for what I can gather on the table.

The dinner plates are made by Johnson Bros' Historic America. I don't know why but I am always drawn to historical plates. I really like them, no matter what the pattern is.

The base are wooden plate chargers I bought from Walmart many years ago, followed with the historical dinner plates that we bought from an estate sale, I think in Brookhaven.

The dessert plates and soup bowls are Staffordshire W.H. Grindley's "Sunday Morning"

I thought the tablescape looks kinda manly so I decided to use vintage beer mugs. This is the first time I have ever used them.

John found these steins about 2 years ago in an estate sale in Natchez while I was in Florida helping out with my granddaughter, Rea, who was undergoing chemo treatments at the time. In case you are curious, Rea is doing very well. She has been on remission for 2 years now, very healthy and active. She and her twin sister Halle just started VPK. Thank you again to all who prayed for her.
