Vintage Brown Drip Autumn...

Thank you to Susan for hosting Tablescape Thursday again. Please check out her fun, Halloween  tablescape after leaving here!



I fell in love with "Brown Drip" pottery several years ago and started collecting pieces.  I have a variety of Hull and McCoy, and lucked into a whole box of around thirty pieces for $20 from an antiques dealer. I decided to use it since the brown is so nice for Fall. Enjoy!!




Hull plates, Walmart napkins and chargers, napkin rings from Bed, Bath and Beyond. The sterling flatware is by Wallace, "Louvre" from 1893.




The candle holders from Big Lots, filled with potpourri...



Imperial Glass amber goblet, "Old Williamsburg." Amber tumbler is by Hazel-Atlas, "Dots." Below, goblet from Wal-mart with Imperial Glass goblet.



I made the table runner out of this lovely paisley from a local fabric store...






Hull pitcher with real fall foliage from outside...



A view at night...



Thank you all for visiting and for the wonderful ideas I get when I visit your blogs! Please come back Friday for Apple Crisp...

    Lovely table, so Fall looking and I love your table. You are so creative. Your Wallace is stunning! Someday when the price of silver falls I'm going to invest in a set.

    Wow, Anita, you made the table and had the base made. It is beautiful. You are so creative in everything you do. I believe this table setting is my favorite so far. Love the hurricanes from Big Lots of all places. Beautiful fall colors makes this setting so warm and inviting....Kim

    I was impressed as soon as you said you made the table. Not only is your tablescape beautiful, the entire room is beautiful. The table by candlelight, stunning. I really enjoyed my visit.

    What a beautiful tablescape! I love your set you collected. It's fun to find something we love and then collect it. I always worry they will stop producing before I finish my collection. Thanks for sharing. Happy Fall!

    Anita,
    I am a new follower and just love your table! I'm a fan of brown drip and have a rather "eclectic" (meaning mis-matched!) set I've collected over the years. I think I'm going to post a tablescape with them next week for our first fall weenie roast! Thanks the great ideas.

    Interesting post as I had no idea they called this brown drip. Your table looks so inviting and the cobbler sounds like a great way to end a perfect meal during these cooler days and nights. Thanks for sharing all with me.
