Pheasantly Surprised!

I'm joining Susan's Tablescape Thursday again, thanks, Susan, for hosting, we do enjoy playing with our dishes! "Click on her name for lots more inspiration.

Inspiration for this tablescape came from this pheasant, below:

It's a gravy boat!

I found this cute gravy boat at Home Goods several weeks ago. The price was right - $7.99! Since we're having our grandchildren here for Thanksgiving, I thought it would be perfect for serving the turkey gravy! His long tail is the spoon!

How cute is that?!

I built the tablescape around the colors in the pheasant:
The tablecloth is bronze colored with a leaf design. It was from Ross a few years ago. The chargers (from Hobby Lobby) have a bronze edge. The plates (from TJ Maxx) and flatware (from Tuesday Morning) are more of a butterscotch color than shown in the pictures.

The large check napkins were probably from TJ Maxx. Napkin rings from Hobby Lobby (last year.) The vintage green goblets are from the 70's!

The centerpiece was made from faux flowers and leaves, and displayed on a wire tray.

View from the top:

I chose to go with dark hues this time and it is quite effective!

The napkin rings are all different.

Another look at the gravy boat, were you pheasantly surprised? LOL!

And, only $7.99!!

I hope you were pheasantly surprised at the gravy boat, and the way this all came together!

Happy Fall!

Tablescape Thursday

Tablescape Thursday is a fun day Susan hosts so we can play with our dishes. Thank you, Susan for hosting! Click here for lots more inspiration from many others.

We were in NY for five days (for my husband's 50th Class Reunion) and just returned last night so I had to quickly put something together for my tablescape!

My inspiration for this tablescape was my scarecrow collection.

I used my butterscotch yellow dishes (from TJ Maxx) with yellow and green plaid napkins, also from TJ Maxx.
The napkins are tied with raffia. The flatware is from Tuesday Morning. The only tan tablecloth I had is this crocheted lace, so I had to use it as nothing else I have worked!

The centerpiece is made up of lots of my scarecrow collection.

Some close-ups of the cute little scarecrows:

L to R: Scarecrow made of a light bulb, scarecrow on a hay wagon, and a stuffed pumpkin scarecrow.

This tall, skinny, floppy scarecrow came from Joann's Fabrics about ten years ago.

I think the scarecrow doll came from Walmart several years ago.

Scarecrow riding in a pumpkin with wheels.
Also a tiny scarecrow (front) riding on a pumpkin with wheels.

All of the above little scarecrows are on the front side of the table.
After taking most of the pictures I realized I had forgotten to add the scarecrow clock:

I added him to the left side of the table:

Front side of the table (above)

Back side of the table:

L to R:

Puffkins Scarecrow, scarecrow on ear of corn, flower pot scarecrow.

Below: scarecrow made with a block of wood, little doll scarecrow

I love this little "falling down" scarecrow!

Above: small flower pot scarecrow and another scarecrow on an ear of corn.

Do you have a favorite scarecrow?

Have a happy day!

God Bless.
