How is it almost November?! I truly cannot believe where this year has gone. But I must say - while the world continues to zoom on at full force (and the pandemic is still happening - insert eye roll here) - this time of the year really makes me the happiest! It's all about making lasting memories with family and friends. Whether we're gathering around a kitchen island clinking wine glasses or gathering around a beautifully set table for a delish meal - this time of year is when the magic happens. 

And speaking of magic, I am really loving all the autumn entertaining-ware we have in the store this year, especially the addition of the beautiful Forest Walk pattern by Juliska. The branches intertwined, the feathers, the mushrooms - its just truly a vibe. It is a nice departure from the many turkey-themed pieces we see this time of year and brings a more contemporary look to your table.

That being said though, you can *never* rule out the timeless, more traditional look of the Woodland and Turkey Spode collections. Spode brings you those classics you will love collecting year after year. Mix and match your Woodland collection with all the animal options. There is truly a never ending supply of unique pieces in this collection that you'll want to add to your table every year. Oh, and did we mention we even have the paper plate and napkin versions of the Spode Turkey collection? That, along with sooo many autumn paper goods for you to choose from. They're so good, y'all. 

And lastly, I'm considering starting a petition to make velvet pumpkin décor a thing year-round, am I right? Loving these stacked down a dining table with taper candles for your thanksgiving meal centerpiece. Perfect mix of texture and color to set the mood. 

Make sure you browse and shop with us early to snag the best of the best. Remember, we are very limited on seasonal restocks with the many supply chain and shipping delays happening around the world today. Get ready for the magic of November with our autumn edit... Links below!

Sending you peace and joy,
