On Tuesday evening I was in a *mood* and decided to spring a fun and vintage supper on my family (and 2 guests of my teen daughter). Recently I have scored some great vintage finds at our local thrift stores. I decided to use the Edwin Knowles Forsythia china from the 1950's. I was thrilled to find service for 6 at our local Goodwill store for $10.50. It is in such lovely condition. Someone saved these lovely dishes for *good* use only. I used the dinner and bread & butter plates with some green depression salad plates I had picked up recently at an small antique shop in Hastings. The tablescarf came from a small private thrift store for .75. It was pretty sad. Wrinkled and stained but a little work and it is a beauty again. Such lovely embroidery work. The stemware came from SA (.75 each). I have no idea what pattern or manufacturer they are from but I really liked them and suspected they were also from the 1950's. The centerpiece is very simple....just a green depression bowl with some greenery and a candle but I like that it doesn't take away from the tablesettings.
Supper was 1950's classic fare....Glazed Meatloaf, Cauliflower Gratin, Iceberg Wedges w/homemade 1000 Island Dressing and Parkerhouse Rolls. Dessert was Angel Food Cake w/Strawberries and Whipped Cream. Everything was yum and our little guests had a good time. I plan to do this for my family more often!
