I have Bopla, but I usually use my Mum's china for dinner, 

because it reminds me of so many happy times.

I love how the muted color tones down the frilliness of this pattern and shape.

This was one of our three Thanksgiving tables this year, 

over twenty family were at our home, it was wonderful.

Sorry about the horrible photo, snapped this quickly about two minutes before anyone arrived!

Happiest of Thanksgivings to all of you Stateside :)
