I am so excited to help celebrate 200 years of Pfaltzgraff by giving away 8 place settings of Pfaltzgraff “Heritage” to one of my followers!!
I envisioned a primitive table with lots of pewter for that early American look, but I have no pewter pieces! So I remembered the 1997 issue of Country Living that inspired my dining table…
…and found an add for none other than…Pfaltzgraff Heritage!! At that point, I knew it was meant to be!
Here is the inspiration table from Country Living, November 1997…
…and my version…
I grew these orange pumpkins, and thought the brown and white combo would be nice with the orange accent.
I used Imperial Glass “Old Williamsburg” amber goblets and Mikasa “Italian Countryside” flatware.
Napkins were purchased at Marshalls several years ago and you all should recognize the napkin rings from BBB.
These dinner plates are on the smaller side, which I actually love. At 10 1/4, it is the perfect size for the portions we should all be eating, plus you could always use a larger dinner plate as a charger, which opens up a lot of options.
The salad plate is more of a dessert plate size at 6 7/8, but the bowl would work well for salad or soup. They do sell a luncheon plate that would be perfect for salad, and these pieces are really affordable.
Everyone needs a set of white or cream, and this is a lovely set to use alone or to mix and match.
I know, you want to get down to the details!!
To be entered in the giveaway there are several options:
1. Follow Far Above Rubies for one entry
2. “Like” the Pfaltzgraff Facebook page HERE for one entry
3. Post a tablesetting tip on the Pfaltzgraff Facebook page for one entry

I’l be linking up to Tablescape Thursday at BNOTP.

Your table came out splendidly. I love your pumpkins in the center and the pretty napkins you chose play so well off the pumpkins. The dinner plates are so very pretty. Love the whole look. Excellent job! thanks for hosting such a great giveaway! good luck to all. xo marlis

Hi, Anita. No pewter needed. You hit it without it! Your unique version of the Country Living table works beautifully! The different sizes of pumpkins and those with variegated colors look great! I like their version, too, but it's a little more stripped down than yours. Your stemware brings out the richness of the tabletop better, too. I am a follower and would like to be entered in the giveaway. What a great package!!! Thanks for the opportunity, and have a great week!
I've never had any Pfaltzgraff; it would be so much fun to use some of my primitive elements to create a tablescape with these lovelies. I'm a long time follower, and I liked the Pfaltzgraff Facebook page. Thank you for the opportunity to win these wonderful dishes. Cherry Kay

Anita, what a simply stunning table! I love that you grew your own pumpkins, and that Country Living photo IS inspirational. Very simple and elegant, and I'm thinking I might just visit the church's pumpkin patch and buy a lot of little pumpkins to march down the center of my table! I am a follower and am on my way to the Pfaltzgraff page on Facebook. Great giveaway!
Well, first of all I love your table so much. I think you did better than the inspiration! I also love the fact that those dinner plates are slightly smaller. I happen to be looking for smaller dinner plates. That's one reason that I love vintage ones. They are an appropriate size.
Second, I'm a greedy Gus who would love those dishes so this follower is throwing herself into the pot with a wish, prayer, and some extra options to boot.
Love the beautiful table setting.

Classic Country Living is such a good source. Your interpretation of their table is such a great contrast of colors and textures. I love the orange, brown and white together.
I think I remember that issue of CL and that wonderful simple table. Yours looks so inviting and I can't believe you grew those pumpkins. I'm impressed! I love these dishes. I'm already your follower and I have now "liked" Pfaltzgraff on their FB page.

I like your table much better…you improved on their idea!! Beautiful and VERY autumnal!
I love the way the white plates look against the brown. Very clean and simple. I tried to grow pumpkins once, but the squirrels had their own agenda! I definitely agree with others that your table is better. I am now following you!
Sweet Autumn Blessings to you, Anita.
You have the TOUCH! When you set a table it looks so lovely!!!
Enjoy seeing your work.
God bless,

I love this table — love the simplicity of the Heritage china, and the simple pumpkins as centerpieces. So beautiful and spare. Food and guests would really shine at a table like this.
