A few people have asked.....

Some have asked me how I use my Mackenzie-Childs Taylor dishes in the Fall....

It's easy....I use softer color fall items as accent pieces and centerpieces, rather than typical vibrant fall colors of pumpkins and leaves.  There are so many different colored artificial pumpkins in the stores this year and many are similar colors as the dishes, pinks, aquas and blues.  

And yes, I USE my dishes, however I do hand wash my M-C ceramics.  They are made to be used and enjoyed, not for sitting in a cabinet!

....this table was set for a lunch with a girlfriend:

Quick and easy, with a touch of fall in the center of my Courtly Check table with a glass top!

Perfect for 'chicken salad croissants' !

They can also be softened for fall by mixing with pastel yellow dishes:

The Taylor pieces also mix and match well with vintage milk glass:

The different patterns in the Taylor line offer a variety of ways to coordinate them with your everyday dishware anytime of the year!

I have also seen people use them at Christmas time and decorating the table with lots of pines, greens and birch twigs.

If you are fortunate enough to own some Taylor pieces I would love to see how you use them year round!
