How to Style a Table in October Blue

As Columbus Day | Indigenous Peoples’ Day weekend winds down and Vermont Vintage Market Days comes to an end, I sit here on our porch in Vermont and admire the vintage October blue dishes that I thrifted over this past weekend.

I’m calling them my “October Blues”! Check out more of this weekend’s Vermont Vintage Market Day adventures here.

Blue Dishes and  Pumpkin

Lynton | England Dish Set

These “October Blues” are made by Lynton | England. I have scoured the internet looking for these without much luck. If you know more about these beautiful dishes, please drop me a comment below!

The set is romantically worn with an off-brown overtone, china dimples, and is an odd set of 7, 35 dishes in total. I paid $100 for the entire set.

October Blue and White Dishes

Autumn has been absolutely amazing here in Vermont this year. So much warmer than usual, which has us spending all our time outdoors before the harshness of winter sets in.

Therefore, it made perfect sense for these “October Blue” dishes to make their debut on our second-hand wallpaper table outside on the porch.

October Blue with Green

After visiting the Fleurish Home and Garden booth this past weekend at Vermont Vintage Market Days, I wanted to add in the touches of green with these vintage threaded spools.

And my go-to colors for redecorating this porch are blues and greens, a wonderful combination. More on that is coming this winter…

Today’s table is set for a casual breakfast or lunch on the porch. Blue and white striped linens are folded for both the place setting and as napkins. And adds a bit more pattern to this dressed “October Blue” table.

Everything on this table was thrifted from the blue cobalt glasses to the table itself.

A simple centerpiece of pumpkins picked from our neighbor’s pumpkin patch along with some dried flowers also looks nice outside even when the table isn’t set with the October Blues.

Fall October Blue Tablescape

Don’t you just love the moody fall mornings?

It has been so warm here in Vermont this autumn that almost every morning we have been graced with low mountain cloud coverage along with this fog. It’s absolutely beautiful with the changing leaves.

Love, love, love this bistro-style chalkboard that I also thrifted over the summer in Maine. And of course, our Bernese Mountain Dog, Ella with her classic head tilt for the camera…

    Hi Ann! Your enthusiasm for your new English/Lynton dishes is easy to catch. It put me in a bit of a sleuthing mood myself. I ended up contacting 3 different antique specialists in blue and white dishes. They are all in England. (I hope you don’t mind, but I cropped two of your table setting photos to send to the experts”. The first one said he had no clue. The second said it was difficult due to lack of stamp or name identifier, but that it was Staffordshire c.1910. The third person had the answer with the most information.
    “ Hello
    There were many patterns produced over the late 1800s and first part of the 1900s., often for export and the maker did not consider it worth adding their name. Very difficult to identify maker in those circumstances.“
    Do you have a receipt or remember the dealer you purchased these from? You could contact them and find out where he/she found them, and then contact that dealer, and follow it back as far as you can. You may get lucky and find some more! That’s the best solution I have right now. Wish I could have come up with the magic answer!
    Best Regards,
