Your Invited!

It's an open invitation, for wine and cheese and whatever goodies you bring!  My newest dishes have inspired me to set up a table for guests.  The only thing missing is YOU!  So, let's step outside on the porch so we can enjoy the views of fall and the cooler temperatures that have finally arrived.

The trees are looking quite beautiful around here lately.  My only problem, with football season in full swing, is it's quite lonely around here on the weekends.  That's why I've set up for you!  Gee, I really should get on board with the football though, I bet I could have some fun with those tailgating tablescapes!  LOL! 
Alas, for those of us who are not that thrilled to be so left out of all the fun, I have come to the rescue.  So pack up your goodies and join me for an enjoyable autumn evening.

I started my setting with this beautiful tablecloth that I made years ago from some old draperies from my in laws house.  I just loved the fabric and when they sold the house I was able to get all the drapes.

Look how well it went with my newest dishes that I purchased last week at the thrift store.

Do you recall I told you my one dinner plates was going to actually be a cake plate?  Well here it is, just waiting for a few real treats.  I thought you might like to see how it can look when you bring your goodies!

The plates is balanced on a brown Dansk candlestick to give it more height.

I even pulled out my grandmothers wine glasses for you.

I've supplied the napkins and forks in case you bring something that requires a little more then fingers.

In the center I placed my newest pottery barn thrift find.  I added the glass candle holders since I already had them on hand.  Not to bad, huh? 

I also added my cornucopia with a little fall color...

...and my newest spotted glass fall pumpkin.  It even has the perfect blue to match everything!

Oh goodness, where are my manners?  Would you like a glass of wine?

Did you see those trees out there!  Isn't it just gorgeous this time of year?

I hope you'll come!  I've plenty of room on the bakers rack to set out more treats.

It's Tablescape Thursday and I'm ready for some company!  I've set everything up a bit early because I have heard bloggers photo download is going to be closed for maintenance after 5:00pm today.  Besides, what kind of hostess would I be if I sent my invite out too late?

What are you waiting for?  You've been invited, so come on over!
