Noritake and Mikasa with Aunt Jody's Hydrangeas

Hi everyone!  I did a post last summer featuring my Aunt Jody's beautiful hydrangeas <a href="http://anita-faraboverubies.blogspot.com/2010/07/aunt-jodys-hydrangeas.html">HERE</a>. They were equally beautiful this year, and when she brought me a large bunch, it inspired this table which would be great for Thanksgiving!<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZRhSrUyhdszhHrNo0t6T-kk22qdKyKjimHvPPwaA3fdckt16xISl5Pc1qBNoGOeF6qr2gacXVrWaddGv0ivGoukz6PEf_aLni99DdDlAElMbgWagrpGpK0r0dmCYfrBCoMihDU87pfQ/s1600/condorofall21.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZRhSrUyhdszhHrNo0t6T-kk22qdKyKjimHvPPwaA3fdckt16xISl5Pc1qBNoGOeF6qr2gacXVrWaddGv0ivGoukz6PEf_aLni99DdDlAElMbgWagrpGpK0r0dmCYfrBCoMihDU87pfQ/s1600/condorofall21.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDTOtpz6ObvqRdRU52f1M-2XOZLL4H8UW0aLHLgjgOFQQrkyZHSVuQan0muFZNT9iOQoOWGgVAqIDalGWKTw7MsnYdDDP3hmufDT-CO-1PoCLEVbzlGp0VpI88_uEBZnLFb1LEGCAo1w/s1600/condorofall15.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDTOtpz6ObvqRdRU52f1M-2XOZLL4H8UW0aLHLgjgOFQQrkyZHSVuQan0muFZNT9iOQoOWGgVAqIDalGWKTw7MsnYdDDP3hmufDT-CO-1PoCLEVbzlGp0VpI88_uEBZnLFb1LEGCAo1w/s1600/condorofall15.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">Honestly, I would never think of using my mother's vintage Noritake "Condoro" for fall because it seems so "spring" to me, but when I saw the color of the hydrangeas with it, I knew I had to put it together.
