Autumn Tablescape

When I think of Autumn in it's full glory I think or deep rich glorious colors!  This setting reminds me so much of a beautiful Indian Summer autumn.  I hope you enjoy!

My setting started using these beautiful woven round place mats I've had forever.  I purchased them years ago online from Crate and Barrel.  I have so many!  I only recently stained four of them the color you see here, they were a light unstained finish.  I will be doing a post on that later.  The darker stain reminds me of the woods seen outside.

I then added these beautiful green wheat plates purchased from a church sale this summer.

Then I added my green terra cotta salad bowls.

The napkins I got on sale this summer from Pier 1.  Don't you just love the rich jewel tones on these!

I just love paisley too!

I can't remember where I got the blue glass napkin rings, only recently too.  Short term memory loss I guess!

I decided to use my grandmothers crystal with the gold trim.  The gold has worn to an almost copper look that I absolutely love.  I think it looks great in this setting!

And for my flatware, I used my everyday again.

I really like the simplicity of these.

Doesn't this table just radiate warmth to you?  I think so!

For my centerpiece I have several items on our lazy susan.  This has been in my husbands family for years and we have had forever now.  The Mr. just adores this thing.  I used to hate having it there when I wanted to decorate the table but I have now learned to just decorate with it!  I started by adding the yellow napkin on it I purchased from the Pfalztcraft outlet.  I have learned a napkin keeps things from sliding off the lazy susan easily when it is being turned.  That's called a life lesson!

Then I added my SL hurricane filled with fall pears.

A small floral arrangement I through together with some older florals I already had.

 I purchased the vase at a thrift store this summer.  The gold overlay on the brown looks so wonderfully aged and mimics the gold on my glasses wonderfully.

I had forgotten all about this little basket until I was looking through my cabinet.  Doesn't it look wonderful with the salt and pepper shakers?  I have only used it for sugar packets before.  I love this new application.

And of course I wanted to bring one of my newest gifts into this setting.  There has to be a candle in all of my table settings.  This jar candle just looks so perfect!  I put it on the plate so you could see how cute candles look on these small plates.  I love to give this set up as gifts.  I posted about that more here.

Here is a close up of a dish I got from the clearance section at Belks many, many, years ago.  Not sure if you can see the autumn leaves on it!  I only have one for use with my candles.

Check out this photo.  I got on a chair and held the camera under the light and just clicked!

It looks great doesn't it?  I was quite pleased.

I hope you enjoyed my Autumn table scape.  Please be sure and visit some of the other beautiful settings
