Southern Living recently published an article entitled "Turkey Plate Special" chronicling the origins of certain patterns. Who knew that when Abraham Lincoln declared Thanksgiving a national holiday in 1863, we would end up with beautiful transferware patterns honoring the official bird of Thanksgiving? I was excited to see my pattern, "His Majesty" by Johnson Brothers in the article. We lovingly call these our Traveling Turkey Dishes. Click here to find out why! I set our Reading Room table with His Majesty for a quick peek at this beautiful pattern. I love my "Traveling Turkey Dishes". It is a joy to get them out and use them throughout November. I also love this old table. It has the scars of a well lived life and reminds me so much of my sweet grandmother who loved it as much as I do. A close up of His Majesty shows the lovely colors of the season. I don't own the turkey platter, but it is on my wish list!...
