The dishes are appearing.....


As we are now officially in the much-anticipated season of Fall, isn't it time for something to find its way to that table?:-)






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!

I notice I've added a new follower!  Welcome, and thank you for coming along.

Also, there were  many lovely comments on the post yesterday as I remembered Mother's birthday.  Thank you to all of you for your comments.

Thank you for reading.  I really appreciate your comments.

  2. I 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!

  8. I'm trying to just imagine having room to expand my table and actually having family sitting around it. *sigh

  9. I 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!

    Thank you so much for sharing...

  12. So 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.

    Love,
