When I received this dinnerware, I immediately envisioned a Christmas table set with gold accents and sparkling crystal on a snowy white tablecloth. . .
With my harvest of pumpkins and gourds, I decided to create a table prior to the holiday season, inspired by a plaid tablecloth with shades of pumpkin, persimmon, russet and ‘rouge’ ~ a warm foundation for a celebration of fall with Parchment Rouge Dinnerware.
Natural elements~ pumpkins, gourds, leaves, and Indian corn add an organic feel and natural abundance for an easy and casual centerpiece.
I love the scroll design Mary! The shot with the sugar and creamer really shows the warm glow of the gold too! Very pretty and I look forward to your Christmas setting too:@)
Gorgeous fall table. The colors look so rich with the pumpkins and fall leaves. The design really *pops*. I like the idea of dishes moving easily from one season to another. Less storage room to look for! ;)
Hi Mary, You must feel like it is Christmas every time you open a package from Mikasa! I like the pairing of the elegant dishes with the rustic charger and the plaid. And any dishes that can go from autumn through Christmas belong in every dish lovers cupboard! I could see these dishes on a festive Santa and jingle bells table too! Linda
This is perfect for fall and harvest time. I think you did it beautifully. I am so glad you didn’t rush Christmas.
I can see why you thought of Christmas at first look. You have proved how versatile these dishes are as well as putting your creative juices to work. They will look entirely different but lovely. Next chance I get I want to check out Pier 1 and Home Goods. You are blessed to have them nearby.
I have a 70’s Poppy Trail zinnia pattern I would LOVE to see what you could do with. Remember the orange, yellow and green era? You may be too young!
Oooo, me like!! Anything scrolly like that pattern sets my ♥ aflutter!
They would work for ANY holiday that uses RED…Valentines, Christmas, July 4th, Flag Day, Labor Day…you name it.
Lucky you to get to *play* with so many different styles of dishes & accessories. You always do such a nice job for Life Brands.
Thanks for sharing these.
This pattern is so versatile. Love the color combination and the pattern. I agree that this is a set that can go through the season. It must be exciting every time Mikasa sends a package. You are the perfect one to showcase their beautiful patterns.
Raining here again. Feast or famine as they say……..Sarah
This is a beautiful pattern, Mary! I love how you have paired it with the Fall items and then you can use it at Christmas too! Versatility is a GOOD thing! I love the napkin sleeves, I am always looking for them as I have NONE:( I haven’t bought any new dishes lately, I am really running out of room:) Have a beautiful, Fall week!!!!
Mary I am trying not to buy any more plates right now, and you are making it seriously difficult! I love these colors for fall and winter, gorgeous! Your napkins and gourds and leaves compliment the dishes so beautifully and I love all the different textures and fall elements~

Mary sooo pretty! The take away for those young ladies who want to build a pretty and up-to-date table for holidays…is to buy those extra classics as you find them at discount. For me it’s the chargers and texture items like baskets and a bunch of things I can prop w florals and lift. Build the cloth napkins as you go, supplementing w paper early on.the rest is inspiration w natural items for the season. I love the inspiration you, Mary, provide in this fabulous blog!
Mary: Your blog is my absolute favorite! Your table settings are gorgeous! I just love all the dishes & tableware you use. And I love the quilts you have too! You are my Inspiration!
The dishes are beautiful…Yes, perfect for Fall and the holidays…and the tablecloth is perfect!..You create your tables so elegantly and then so eloquently you take us on a beautiful journey…another masterpiece!!
I think that Parchment Rouge is destined to become a pattern for all seasons…beautiful! Your Fall table yields a bounty of inspiration. Thanks for inviting us for a peak. Cherry Kay
Those dishes are absolutely lovely and I LOVE the way they look with the plaid tablecloth. You’ve done an outstanding job of blending colors and textures (the chargers, the beaded napkin rings, the 2 napkins, everything!)
A treat to see. Rosie @ The Magic Hutch

So natural and beautiful, I love how you always make a table look so elegant. The Parchment Rouge is fabulous, I may have to treat myself :)

I love the parchment patterns and this one is gorgeous. I would be tempted to order a setting for four and there you have provided a coupon…hmmmm.
I ordered French Countryside goblets and wines yesterday!;-) I just can’t seem to stop!
Beautiful table!
