Our Thanksgiving Day Centerpiece has one constant in its decor. A little music box of two children saying grace. My husbands grandmother Lucille Pearson Bennet loved music boxes of all kinds. We bought this one for her as a gift one year. When she passed away the little music box came back to us. Our children and now our grandchildren enjoy listening to the music as the little boy and girl go around. Precious memories!
The table cloth is a find from Dollar General... a curtain panel....$5.00.
The plate is a Johnson Brother's transferware pattern "Olde English Countryside".
Have a Blessed Thanksgiving!

How pretty. I love the transferware. I keep wishing I had brown/thanksgiving transferware. Some day. Happy Thanksgiving.
Amazing dinnerware! I wish I have some! Have a great Thanksgiving!
Such a beautiful vignette. I love the brown transferware, one of my favorites. Thanks for joining TTT and Happy Thaksgiving. Hugs, Marty
That is so charming! I have a huge set of that Johnson Bros pattern -- my mother found a large never used box of it in their attic last year, been there since they moved to that house in 1960, and with a newborn, 3 yr old, and 5 yr old, she totally forgot about it. And now I have them. We will be using them for Thanksgiving Dinner tomorrow.
Thanks for sharing this at Feathered Nest Friday! :)
