First Fall Tablescape of 2014

Hello Sweet Friends,

So how if life at your house this week!!

Hope you are enjoying all the wonders

of Fall................

We are..........inside the house at least!

So enjoying the Fall decorations..and

did my first Fall Tablescape over the

weekend, and had my first piece of 

pumpkin pie this morn. Always so

 wonderful after not having it for 9

 months or so.  Also, simmering my

 first Pumpkin spice potpourri, and

boy, does it have the house smelling

awesome.  Love it!!

Well, onto the reason you came here

in the first place.............lol

Sometimes I like to do casual easy tables

that anyone can do....whether they have

china, nice dishes or not.  Cause as some of

 you already know we don't have to break the

 bank to have beauty in our homes, and I

 think all homes can be a place of beauty.

 The plates and napkins in this tablescape 

are all done in paper goods, that I thought 

were just adorable,  but I used regular

silverware and glasses, rather than

 plastic ware to dress it up a bit.

 See for yourself

It all started with these cute napkins and plates

 I happened on in the Christmas tree store.

Loved them immediately...............

So I got large solid cream plates,  and then 

dessert plates and napkins all for $2.50.........

just figured we would use them some time

 this Fall.  So since we decided to have Scott

and Megan and the baby over for Burgers,

Pasta and fruit salad,  thought hey, already

have the centerpiece and it goes great with

them.  So I proceeded............

I did decide to change up the

 centerpiece just a lil bit, so it went

from this...................

To this.....Used these pretty cutwork clay

candleholders,  turned this one upside down

and put a faux candle inside, and put the

pumpkin on top.  This made it a lil bit lower
so you can see over it and doesn't impede
conversation.

This was the before, of the centerpiece,  I took

 the votive candles out, and moved the pumpkins

 closer together.

and this is how it looked after.................... 

Then I did the place setting just on the Tan

 tablecloth,  but remembered I had these......

Gold placemats,  so decided to try it with these.

I took those 2 above pictures, cause I was
trying to make up my mind which one to
go with, so when I saw the pictures I could

 see how the gold made the colors of the
 plates and napkins show up better

So decided to use the placemats since it was for

 a casual dinner anyway...............

 I used this silverware because I thought it went
 well witht the lil flowers on the plates and also on

the candleholders

with colored pencil affect

I used the gold votives that I took away from the

centerpiece at each persons place setting.

Don't they look pretty all aglow.

I had 2 other cutwork pottery

 candleholders, so just added one on 

each end a top the napkins.

Used my brown glasses I found last year

at WallyWorld.  Have to say I do miss my

smokey green goblets (that got broken in

my china hutch implosion last year)this

time of year especially. They would have

look great with this, but the brown went
well too..............

Just added these tiny plastic pumpkins

for fun and cuteness.......

Just did the silverware a lil different  to offset 

the napkin on the other side, cause they were so 

pretty I hated to fold them,  and of course,

  added some candy

and Just for Fun.......

This has a Wave distortion affect.  

A nice overview.
I have to say I love doing themed
tables or parties...........

Well, there you have it my first
 Fall table..............

Hope you enjoyed your visit and 
so glad you could stop by.

Would love to know what you
 thought of this inexpensive table.
