Over the Columbus Day weekend, my dearest and I went on a little autumn excursion which included lunch at Frank & Mary's Restaurant in Stevensville, PA. That's the restaurant in the photo above - an unassuming little place, don't you think? There's not much to the town of Stevensville, but you'll find the restaurant, a vintage linens shop, a bakery, a country store, and a great deal of trees lining the hillsides.
Frank & Mary's serves up some fine eatin', but what I find most remarkable about the place is that all the tables are the vintage enamel-top type. The styles cover just about every decade in the history of this sort of table. Have a look...
And here is my favorite table - very art deco...
Since other customers were trying to enjoy their lunches in peace, I didn't photograph all the fantastic tables in the restaurant . Maybe the next time I'm out that way...
We were seated at a table with a lovely floral pattern whose pull-out extensions didn't have the usual square edge...
Here I am just before I became bold enough to run around like the paparazzi. My autumn-colored vintage wool plaid jacket is a Minnesota Woolens, but it's the same style as the Pendleton 49er.
My dearest had a toothache that day, but he didn't want to give up our annual fall outing. And he's even smiling here - guess that soup really hit the spot.
I had planned on having a slice of pumpkin pie for dessert, but after the huge turkey club sandwich, alas, I had no room.
And so, it was with full tummies that we paid our bill and headed out on the open road again. If you ever find yourself in Stevensville, PA, do visit Frank & Mary's Restaurant. The enamel-top tables and the food are worth the stop.

Oh, I can't stand it! Those enamel top tables are the ones I absolutely dream about owning some day! I want one SO badly for our sunroom - which is like a breakfast room. Luke's Diner on Gilmore Girls had them, too, and I wish I could have somehow purchased one when the show ended! Thanks so much for sharing your photos from the restaurant.
What a gorgeous little place! The food looks goood too. I love those tables! My Grandma had one in her kitchen when I was a kid and I loved it!
I recieved one on my 50th B-day! Red metal tube legs, white top w/ red edges and awesome art deco red pin stripe and cross hatch patterns. I saw chairs to match on "A Christmas Story" and I may have to resort to making my own if I can't find them. These tables are to die for!
