Thanksgiving Dishes

Before we go completely into Christmas mode I want to show you my Thanksgiving dishes. I found the first five at a thrift store. I found the rest on ebay. I have about fifteen dinner plates and a gravy boat plus a few small bowls and bread plates.



They're called Indian Summer by Franciscan. I just love them.



I think they look really cute with these miss matched napkins that I made.

    I have never seen that pattern! They are perfect for autumn and Thanksgiving and they would look great with those pretty napkins:>)

    Awesome! At first I thought that was the old fashioned melmac...they are "your" style for sure.
    Matching plates are always fun to collect.

    I love your dishes! And the mis-matched napkins are the frosting on the cake. Unfortunately, our hostess served dinner on paper plates - not so nice!

    Mimi, I love your dishes and you are so cool to make your napkins. I never think of that.

    I like those "fall" dishes. I have the Desert Rose pattern by Franciscian that got handed down to me from my mom. I use them for every day dishes, but they don't go too good for Thanksgiving, lol.

    I'm trying to catch up on blogs and not leave comments so I can see everything everyone has done. But I can't not say "ooohhhhh" when I saw these dishes. They are so lovely I said it out loud.
