Vintage Black Friday at The French Cupboard
This black and white photograph was a gift from the former Art Director
at Homer Laughlin China, Jonathan Parry. It is from a photo shoot sometime
in the 1930s, probably near the time Fiesta was first produced.
I am always amazed at the impact black and white photographs have and how
the hidden colors seem to come right through the image.
The Fiesta is all vintage and the roses and daisies were picked this morning
December 1st from my very chilly garden. The flatware is "Cityscape" by Oneida.
Thanks so much for stopping by again this week. I hope you'll come back often during
this holiday season for upcoming posts. Christmas Tree 2010 reveal will be for Metamorphosis Monday this coming week and as always lots of tablescapes for the holidays.

ReplyDeleteWhat a delight to see this black and white photo vignette recreated in living color. You are a wealth of creativity! ~ Sarah
ReplyDeleteYour photos are amazing. And what a great recreation of the picture. I got a little excited when I saw his obituary. Maybe excited isn't the correct word? I have relatives in East liverpool and I hadn't thought about that town for a long time. So sad that he died so young.
ReplyDeleteThat is a great feature on the black and color shots. I like both, put prefer the color. Your dinner photos are very pretty.
ReplyDeleteThank you for such a beautiful post to Mr. Parry and the lovely black and white photo. Your placesetting along with the photograph is great! You are so talented with your ideas and photography.
ReplyDeleteI am looking forward to your Christmas ideas! I know they will be exciting!
