Over the last few days, I have been reviewing Thanksgiving recipes and decorating tips in my collection of vintage cookbooks and entertaining books.
During my review of this book:
I found this photo of a Thanksgiving table and instructions on how to make the gold spray painted fruit centerpiece:
I was amused by the centerpiece and then I realized the dishes looked familiar. Why, you ask? Because I happen to own six dinner plates in this pattern; Adaptation of Early English Ivy by Crown Ducal, England.
I acquired these plates about 10 years ago at a "tag sale" in Connecticut. I think I paid $8 for six.
It's strange for me to see them in a Thanksgiving tablescape, as I only use them in the spring and summer.
Perhaps I should purchase some fruit and gold spray paint and try to replicate this table setting for the upcoming holiday. What do you think?

Betty Crocker is a classic! Love your plates - and what a deal! Linda
Not only is the centerpiece awesome, but this whole post is just plain adorable. :-)
