Favorite Fall Through Winter Dishes

For several years now, I have been switching my dishes to Fall and Christmas

favorites beginning on Halloween.  The change is fun and festive.  It adds another

layer of excitement to the season.

I am a big fan of blue and white dishes and will through in some red too, but

I never have been a big fan of brown.  My Mama loved brown and tan.  Her

whole house was done in those colors, but I often found it to be depressing, so

I stayed away.  Yet I have always liked the Friendly Village pattern from

Johnson Bros.  Maybe it's the pop of red that shows up in the different scenes the

sets it apart.

The red in the covered bridge makes me want to step inside and to go beyond

it to see whatever other pops of red will turn up,

It's a cheerful pattern too.

The colors in my centerpiece refer back to the colors in the

tablescape.

The Friendly Village will be around until the day after Thanksgiving.  For

Christmas I plan a little something different, yet with that same homey feel.

Have a happy and safe Halloween everyone!
