It was a gradual, albeit a bit slow, process, but I think we are just about ready! Only flatware and crystal are to be added, and we need a pot of soup for those pumpkin soup bowls!
China - Noritake Vineyard, now discontinued. I have had this china since before we were married, though we did receive some pieces as wedding gifts.
Pumpkin Bowls - Williams-Sonoma. Just couldn't pass them up when they were on display at the store in our local mall.
Soup - It's on the way!

Thank you for reading. I really appreciate your comments.
that is a beautiful table, Thanksgiving ready!
ReplyDeleteI remember many delicious meals served on this china! The miracle is that it has lasted so long, through three daughters and more than one move over many miles! Those pumpkin bowls are beyond adorable, and I look forward to seeing what soup you choose to make to fill them. Have a wonderful Wednesday, Sister, and enjoy this pleasantly cool day!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the sweet memories of using these vintage dinnerware. Love the soup bowls. Thanksgiving isn't too far away. It's October the 13th for us this year.

ReplyDeleteOh wow Nellie, autumn is in the air indeed :-)
ReplyDeleteYour Fall table is just gorgeous Nellie.

Beautiful.

I'm trying to just imagine having room to expand my table and actually having family sitting around it. *sigh
ReplyDeleteI suppose I can try to fight it tooth and nail Nellie but once I see a table like that so festive and inviting, I just must give in. Indeed, Fall has arrived!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for sharing...
Such a beautiful table setting Nellie. I would love a bowl of soup served in the pumpkin bowls.
ReplyDeleteIt is a very nice table. I love those bowls. I am so glad you are greeting fall with such zest!
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful! The strangest thing has happened. It is so cool here that I turned off my AC and opened some windows. Very unusual for September. It gives me hope for October.
ReplyDeleteLove,
