Here’s an advance peek at our theme for this week’s Tablescape Thursday: Dueling Ribbons and Bows. Which of these do you like better? Fostoria June etched topaz center handled server or the equally beautiful Romance etched crystal plume handled tray? Fostoria made June about 20 years before Romance and used different shapes. Can you see [...]
