Spode Indian Tree Autumn Table

For our last Autumn table of the year, Pat used Spode's "Indian Tree" - a pattern that was very popular and very long lived (from 1879 to 1994.) She paired it with amber to make a traditional Fall tablescape.











Where it came from:
Amber Glass Charger - Pattern unknown from Wayfair (mail order)
Tableware - 'Indian Tree" by Spode from Pat's collection
Copper Flatware - "Rialto" by Ricci from eBay
Amber Glass Pumpkins - from Pier 1 two years ago
Napkin - Handmade by Pat
Amber Candle holders and Bowl/Vase - from Art & Old Things (a local antique store)
Silk Flowers and Candles - from Michael's

This week, we will be joining "Tablescape Thursday" at Between Naps on the Porch:  http://betweennapsontheporch.net/

Johnson Brothers Autumn Monarch Table

For an easy and quick table, Pat set "The Table for One" using Johnson Brother's "Autumn Monarch." It's a classic ironstone scalloped pattern with a floral edge and a turkey in the center.


Purchased as my "everyday" flatware nearly forty-five years ago, "Iron Brown" lives up to its name. The ceramic handles are exceedingly strong and only two have broken over the years.





The brown glassware - "Clarion" by Lenox - was also purchased as my "everyday" glassware years ago. 



Where it came from:
Faux Leather Place Mat - from Pier 1 several years ago
Dinnerware - "Autumn Monarch" by Johnson Brothers from Replacements.com
Bread and Butter Plate - "Chocolate" Fiesta(ware) by Homer Laughlin from Replacements.com
Flatware - "Iron Brown" by Noritake from Walsh's (a local China and wedding gift store long out of business)
Glassware - Brown "Clarion" by Lenox also from Walsh's years ago
Brown Napkin - Handmade by Pat
Wooden Candle Holders - from Pat's collection
