Tablescape Thursday

Tablescape Thursday is our fun day Susan at Between naps on the Porch hosts weekly. Thanks to Susan for hosting so we can enjoy our hobby and share with others! Click on her name for lots more inspiration.
Inspiration for today's tablescape was this white ceramic cornucopia. I bought it at a thrift shop about 20 years ago! I love it because it is so unusual being white!

It is filled with white faux magnolias and gold fruit.
The white Blessings block completes the centerpiece.

I'm using the gold leafed ceramic chargers from Pier 1 (20 years ago) with white Dollar Tree dinner plates. The ceramic pumpkins are from Dollar Tree.

The tablecloth has tone on tone fall leaves, it is from Ross (last year.) The pumpkin rings are from Hobby Lobby (this year.) I've had t he white sheer napkins several years. They have embroidered leaves on them.

I named this tablescape "Simple Elegance"

I thought about adding the gold mercury glass candle sticks,
but took them away since I used them in last week's tablescape

I think I like the cornucopia alone with just the Blessings plaque



A special place for you!

Plaque says: "Blessings - Remember to count them each and everyday"
(not just Thanksgiving! Added by me!)

Have a Happy Thanksgiving Day!

God's Blessings to you

Table Top Tuesday

I keep doing a little more fall decor, changing things around often! I've also changed my blog banner, I like to continue changing the hall tree in the foyer.

I keep this Bless All Who Enter plaque by the front door,
but changing the decor with the seasons.

I had a difficult time trying to decide which picture to use for the banner.

I hope you like the one I chose!

I also did a new vignette on the Bombay chest in our living room:

I don't photograph this chest with vignettes often because it is so hard
to get a good picture due to the large window behind, it usually has a glare.

I don't think I've ever shown these copper colored mercury glass candlesticks.
I found them on sale at Hobby Lobby several months ago.

I liked the white pumpkin under the cloche so much I kept it like this after Marty's Cloche Party.

I've had this lamp for about 20 years or more, I love it! It's a Steiff lamp.

The Bombay chest came from Dockside Imports, it closed a few years ago, I hated to see it go!




I will show more fall decor vignettes next week on Table Top Tuesday. Thanks to Marty for hosting so we can all share. Click here to go to her blog for lots more inspiration!

Here's a hint of what my tablescape will be this coming Thursday. I'll build the tablescape around this white cornucopia, but using a different tablecloth, ETC!

The white cornucopia

I hope you will come back for Tablescape Thursday!

I give thanks for my blogger friends!!

Tablescape Thursday

Tablescape Thursday is one of my favorite blogging posts! Thanks to Susan for hosting, click on her name for lots more inspirational tablescapes.
Inspiration for this fruit themed tablescape comes from these pretty plates that were given to me recently by a friend!

They are Limoges china dessert plates!

They were even in the original box!

They were her 95-year-old mother's plates and she is now in a nursing home. I am so happy to be the lucky recipient of these beautiful plates!

My friend, Donna, knows how much I enjoy creating tablescapes, that's why she gave them to me!

Each plate is different! At first I thought they were all the same as the top plate and I didn't even look at all of them until today!

Pears and grapes:

Apricots:

Apples:

Plums:

Which is your favorite?

I found the perfect napkins at TJ Maxx for only $4.99 for four! They are black with pretty fruit on them.
The flatware is from Tuesday Morning, above is closer to the real color. The green plates are from Dollar Tree!

The lace tablecloth is the one I bought at an estate sale recently, for only $5.00!

The centerpiece:

The centerpiece evolved to this above. I had originally planned to use a cornucopia and dark chargers under the plates. As I was putting it together it seemed to have a "mind of it's own!" LOL! I used the mercury glass bowl with the fruit, and the two tall mercury glass candle sticks that I bought last week at Michael's on sale at 40% off. The shorter one was $6.99, the tall one $8.99! Can't resist bargains like that!!

The gold chargers go nicely with the gold mercury glass.

I waited too late to take the pictures and had to use the flash on some, so some of the colors aren't true.

Confession: I was watching Oprah and planned to do the tablescape when her show was over, I forgot it gets dark earlier now that Daylight Savings time is over!

Choose your favorite plate and join us!

Maybe I'll take the place with the yellow pears, unless you want it!

I hope you enjoyed this inexpensive tablescape! It was a labor of love!

Have a happy day!

God Bless.
