This dish set reminds me of grandmas house. I’m pretty sure this is the same set she had, but I never knew the name of it. If not the same it is pretty close. I discovered Dr. Laura Koniver’s articles in your magazine several years back and have been reading and learning from you both ever since.
I have taken Mary Janes Farm for many years and saved every issue because of the beauty, joy and information. I just could not part with even a small piece. I make cards to give to patients in a local nursing home. This week I started to use your beauty for a greater purpose. I am creating handmade cards from art in older issues, bringing even greater value to each carefully saved edition. Your work, talent and affection is going from you, to me, to folks who will also feel your warmth and love. Thank you for each and every issue. Each one has been a very personal gift from your hands and heart to mine and now on to others.
I have found so many useful things in your magazine!! I love the recipe ideas- they give me lots of new ideas to try. I enjoy the Dr.’s articles. Always such good info!! The crafts. The projects. The people’s stories!! What’s not to love about Mary Jane’s Farm Magazine???
I have found so much useful information in your magazine over the years, but the article about the pink slime in the hamburger changed me forever. I was so appalled by that fact, we searched out a local farmer and have been buying grass fed beef from him and sending it to a local butcher who custom packages it for us. Thank you for your many articles that have enriched my life over the years.
YES!! I forgot about that article, definitely an eye opener. Thank you Mary Jane for sharing all of the informative articles about things we need to know!!
Hello, this leaf pattern looks almost like the set my mother gave me when I first moved out. Same colors and look. It was very fun to view the set that was pictured. Life happened, and I lost track of what happened to those simple, elegant dishes. I would love a chance for my name to be dropped in the hat. Thank you.
So much useful information for sure. I enjoy the crafting, and especially in the DIY pet beds.
I have been reading your magazine for years and find every time I pick it up I become I tune with my inner farm girl! I love your recipes and love being more organic because of the awareness you have brought to me. I garden and can thank you for ideas that inspire. Thank you so much for all you do.
I especially enjoy the recipes for use with cast iron pans. My son has shown a lot of interest in learning to cook with those wonderful tools, and, so I pass on recipes and tips you always have.
I love your magazine and everything in it.
But I have really enjoyed the Poor Man’s Cake recipe in the Dec-Jan 2021 issue. It’s easy, healthy and a great snack for picnics, etc.
THANK YOU!!
I am new to your Mary Janes farm magazine just got my first magazine. I found it in a book one day and got to reading about you and was like I have to get it!! I haven’t read through all of it.. I just got it today.. I can not wait to read it all!! ❤️❤️❤️ Ps I also live on a mini farm and do lots of gardening and flowering!
I collect Hall teapots. The Autumn Leaf teapot was introduced in 1942 and discontinued in 1976. I have The Collector’s Encyclopedia of Hall China by Margaret & Ken Whitmyer. One of these books has 35 pages of just Autumn Leaf.
The book shows the picture in color of each with Name of Item, Year Introduced, Year Discontinued, and Price of item at that time.
I hope I was helpful to you.
I love the recipies and what’s in a name in the current issue!!! I’m a teaching assistant can’t wait to share these with my kiddos 😍
Your magazine inspires me to get outside and dig in the dirt a little more. It elevates the concept of living simply and enjoying this beautiful God-created earth!
I remember my mom had a set of these dishes but unfortunately gave them away. I never knew the name of the pattern but always liked them. I have been a subscriber of your magazine for several years and look forward to reading every page. I especially look forward to Mary Jane’s Seven Wonders. Having raised sheep in my younger years I enjoy your articles on mini farms. Thank you for your magazine.
I look forward each month to Dr Laura’s article on healthy issues and facts. All of my life I have practiced grounding without knowing it. Her articles reaffirms lit my thoughts on healthy living and adds more for me to practice
Mthe Autumn Leaf pattern reminds me of my mother in law who had a whole set and many accessories. She was a wonderful cook. The set was left to her grandson and his wife. They use it every day
I have subscribed to your magazine for many years and have saved all of the issues. A few years back, on the front cover was a handmade flag, I believe for the 4th of July, no sewing involved. Instead of a patriotic theme, I made one using orange and white for my friend who lives in Florida and now I’m going to make a Ga. themed one for myself. Of course, I live in the peach state so it will have peach colored fabric, I have seen so many things I would like to make but the flag was #1.
I read your magazine from cover to cover and the day it comes in my mailbox, my work is done as soon as I get my mail.
I love this dishset too, my wonderful Mother left me the coffee pot, teapot, cup and saucer and a serving bowl we had found for her at an antique store. It reminds of her whenever I see it! I miss her so much!
I love getting your magazines and I’ve learned a lot and used a lot of your recipes and ideas!
Just received today’s issue in the mail! Turned the page and couldn’t believe my eyes! My parents received the small serving bowl as a wedding present in 1951. I have since found the 2 larger bowls and would love to add to the collection! How fun!!
All the inspiration I get from the magazine is my favorite thing. The can-do attitude, the gotta try this, the recipes, ideas, projects and connection I feel toward everyone who also loves Mary Janes Farm is an added bonus 😉
My mother had an Autumn Leaf mixing bowl which passed down to me, and I have enjoyed using it. Then someone gave me a flat round serving dish of some sort in the pattern which I have spices sitting on currently. I love vintage which is just one of many reasons I enjoy your magazine. It’s homey and comforting and cozy! Ahhhh …
I’ve had a wooden shelf with a rod for hanging a quilt for years, but didn’t do anything with it as it didn’t excite me. Then today when I got my Oct-Nov issue of MaryJane’s Farm, I found my inspiration for dressing up my plain shelf in the Fall Farmhouse Decor article. All I need is a piece of wainscoting and a little paint. I can’t wait to get to it!
This is a great pattern and I loved the visits with the Jewel Tea salesman. We used many of their products during my childhood. Thanks for refreshing those good memories.
Hi from Indiana, Mary Jane! I am 72 and love to read and love decorating and crafting and cooking. I ALWAYS discover new authors in Farmgirl BOOK CLUB each issue. The Oct./Nov.2021 issue intoduced me to Donna Everhart books, which I intend to read and although I know who the author Fern Michaels is, I have never read any of her novels. And now I WILL. Years ago I ordered/purchased a special Garlic from you and I sure would love to buy it again. Any chance?
Reading, decorating, crafting, and cooking are right up my alley. I freed up some of my pasture the summer and so want to expand my garlic crop. If we get some much-needed rain, I’ll surely have some next fall, 2022. Happy reading and thank you for leaving a comment!
I have one of my mother’s pieces of the Autumn Leaf collection. It is a round casserole dish. She made the best homemade macaroni and cheese and would bake it in that dish. I enjoyed looking at the collection in the magazine. I did not realize there were plates and such with that pattern on them. It is a unique pattern and the casserole dish brings back memories from when my mom would use it.
My mother had these same dishes. I knew where they came from, but I thought it was a bittersweet pattern. Now, I know. When we cleaned out my mother’s house, someone else in the family got the dishes. Imagine my delight when I found a serving dish at a white elephant sale. I love it so much. Good memories.
The autumn leaf pattern reminds me of good times growing up in a family of 11 children with loving parents. My grandmother had most of the set of dishes for everyday use. My mother used the serving bowls every day until they were broken. The pattern is very pleasing and reminds me of all the days of working on a family farm. We always seemed to have plenty to eat. I have collected several pieces over the years to enjoy. My latest find was the large rounded pitcher for $6
I look forward to every issue of Mary Jane’s Farm. I got a newstand copy last year and I was hooked. I’m renewing my subscription soon for another wonderful year of eclectic reading of crafts, recipes, helpful tips on various topics, great personal writings. I mean Mary Jane’s Farmgirl has it all. Thank you so much! And I look forward to possibly being a recipient in your drawing.
I love the Jewel Tea dishes…my mother in law had a set but when her household was broken I never received a piece…🤦♀️…..wished I had many times..wish I would win the set…..👍..love the magazine..I share it with a friend…
I have found many useful things in your magazine! I first discovered Autumn Leaf dinnerware when I purchased a box of miscellaneous items at an estate auction. It contained two of the Autumn Leaf serving bowls. I love them and have them on display at The Old Cozad Mill along with other vintage finds!
I love the old fashioned cream candy recipe. It’s so good! Love this beautiful set. ♥️
Hello hello hello…have made vanilla and thanks to you(page 91) I remember to bring it up from the basement. Probably 20 years old.
I could not believe my eyes when I saw the Autumn Leaf featured in your magazine. I have a china hutch filled with pieces of this dinnerware. It came from my grandma’s house and I remember these being used for Thanksgiving Dinners. I have dinner plates, serving bowls, even the complete coffee pot. During the winter months my grand daughters love drinking tea from the “fancy” teapot using the matching cups with saucers.
I am a 71 year old great grandmother living in town. But I was raised on a farm and MaryJane’s magazine always makes me smile.
I love your magazine and find many helpful ways of doing things. I was so surprised to see the Autumn Leaf dinnerware. My mother had some of it. I now have the butter dish and small serving bowl. I wish I had the salt and pepper shakers, she did have them but couldn’t’ find them when she passed away 42 years ago. There was also a pie pan and pitcher, but didn’t find them either. This brought back so many memories. Keep up the good work on your magazine. So look forward to each issue. Thanks.
My husband got me a subscription for your magazine. I’m always anxious to see your magazine in the mailbox. I love everything about the magazine and the outer covering feels good to the touch.I hope the magazine will be handed down to the next generation.
My love hall China beginning in 1980 when I started working at the phone company. I was 20 at the time one of my co worker knew I went to yard sales ever Saturday she told me that she collected hall China I said never heard of it. she brought a saucer for me to see and I was hooked been collecting every since
I loved seeing the autumn leaf pattern in your magazine. i have had the pitcher and some large bowls for years, this year at an antique store i bought the coffee pot and cream and sugar set. i love them so much. I get my daughter a subscription to your magazine for Christmas every year. This issue I called her up as soon as i got mine and asked her if she had seen the dishes in the magazine I was so excited. I love your magazine an look forward to each issue. Best wishes.
My husbands grandmother had a wonderful collection of Jewel Tea Autumn Leaf and my daughter was lucky enough to inherit the collection. Over the years, we have added a few pieces picked up at antique sales. A treasure for sure! Just like each issue of MKF magazine is a treasure. I quickly devour each issue and love the colors, pictures and articles. I have a lovely collection of MJF magazines!
I was so happy to see the article in the Oct/Nov 2021 issue starting on pg 78. I have my grandmothers Jewel Tea set that my mother remembers very fondly. I never met my grandmother as she was killed in an automobile accident when my mother was in her teens. My mother is now 81. So having these dishes bring a huge sense of honor to me.
Just getting them out for the Fall season now.
I acquired a partial set of the Autumn leaf dishware many years ago. I have used the large mixing bowls for mixing up homemade bread,etc. I always use some of my pieces especially at Thanksgiving time which happens to be my favorite holiday. I am always searching at flea markets or antiques stores to add to my collection. I love your magazine and have bought subscriptions for both my daughter & daughter-in-law.
I am a newbie to you’re wonderful farm! As a new homesteader, my friend gifted a subscription to me and I am in love! I particularly loved the Aug/Sept article about the uses of coconut oil! I’m also interested in trying out a sauerkraut chocolate cake!!
I ALWAYS find something useful in your magazine. I can’t wait to try the recipes in the latest issue.
I have been collecting Autumn Leaf for over twenty years. My sister does as well and we enjoy looking for finds when we are out and about. We especially enjoy using Autumn Leaf on holidays with large family gatherings. Put my name in the hat for a chance to win an Autumn Leaf dish drainer quilt or a salt and pepper shaker set. I really enjoy Mary Janes magazine, especially the recipes
Thanks you
I’m not plugged into the farming community since we moved to town.
I love all the book and movie suggestions! Makes me feel like part of the conversation!
I’m excited to watch Honeyland that was mentioned in this last issue!
My Grandma collected these dishes as your mom did and believed in using your best and prettiest everyday. My mom actually collected my set of cabbage rose dishes a similar way in the late 70’s when our local grocery store used a sticker reward system.
Fall has always been my favorite season, the autumn leaves remind me of the cycle of life with all the Bueatiful colors of life. The Autumn leaf design gives me a feeling of connection with our mother earth and her wisdom. 💕 y
I have a set of 3 Autumn Leaf bowls that were my grandmothers. I use them every autumn and Thanksgiving. They are very special to me. I love getting your magazine.

I love fall and have been collecting any leaf patterns. My grandmother collected California ware dishes which I treasure.
Now when it comes to your magazine, wow, I’ve made many recipes, done many projects, and keep them around to reread often. Fabulous stuff.
I have a small collection of Autumn Leaf my mom had a pitcher and I always admired it. I have it displayed in a old yellow pine corner cabinet. It’s beautiful with the wood of the yellow pine.
I love all the recipes in the magazine. I have subscribed for several years and will continue to do so. I love the dishes. They remind me of a simpler life.
