Tablescape Thursday

I have a new fall tablescape to share this week. Thanks to Susan, at Between Naps on the Porch, for hosting so we can share our fun addiction to tablescaping! Click on her name for lots more inspiration!
I'm using the Limoges salad plates a friend gave me with purple ruffled edge plates (from Walmart) I was concerned about the purple not photographing good, as so many times it looks black instead of purple.

I call this a harvest tablescape.

The centerpiece is a rustic tray (from TJ Maxx) displaying the orange Mercury glass pumpkin, beaded fruit, and purple candlesticks and candles on a purple scarf.

I was excited that my Green, purple, and orange goblets lended themselves well to this color scheme!






Four different fruit scenes adorn the salad plates. The one above has plums, the one below has apricots:

This one has yellow pears:

Apples:

Which is your favorite plate?

I really like the orange and purple together!

I thought it would be fun to show the tablescape I did last year with these same salad plates.

Which is your favorite tablescape using the Limoges plates?

I hope you enjoyed my harvest tablescape!

God Bless!

New Fall Decor

I have been doing a little fall decorating and want to share with you! I did run into a bit of trouble with the photography since we're experiencing a tropical depression here in Fl and it's been cloudy and raining for two days. It's difficult to get good pictures with bad lighting.

This is our foyer.

I like to change the decor on the hall tree with each season. I didn't mean to show the umbrella stand in the picture above, but decided to leave it so the two pictures will also show up.

I kept it simple with only a few fall touches.

I keep this little sign on the hall tree at all times.

I also use it as my blog banner, as I hope all who visits my blog are blessed.


The bottom of the hall tree has a vignette of beaded pumpkins.
I purchased the tall pumpkin at TJ Maxx recently. I was happy to find it since I had seen a white one on someone's blog and loved it!

I had to use the flash and the beads on the pumpkins pick up a lot of the light causing them to look shiny (they don't shine!)

I'm enjoying this simple welcome in our foyer

You may remember this pretty lantern I purchased recently at Hobby Lobby with a birthday gift card. (Click here to see more.)

I dressed it up with faux fall leaves

I'll never light the candle, so I put leaves inside as well

This lantern sits on a low curio cabinet in the dining room. The dining room is just past the foyer, on the right.

The vignette below is on an end table beside the sofa in the family room:
The large wire platter is upright on a plate stand. A gold mercury glass bowl of beaded fruit is in front of it, with a small bird to the side.



I will share more pictures of fall decor, throughout the house, in the next few days.
I hope you enjoyed seeing some of my fall decor. I will also soon share a little Halloween decorating and my scarecrow collection.

Sunday Favorites

I'm joining Chari with her Sunday Favorites this week. Thanks for hosting, Chari! Click on her name for lots more favorites of the past.

I posted this candy corn tablescape on November 4, 2009 and thought it was worthy of being seen again! (I'm still waiting for the fall decor boxes to come out of the attic!! Today is supposed to be the day, but in the meantime, enjoy this post!) In all fairness to hubby, he is teaching part-time at the college three days a week, then gone all day to Mayo Clinic each Tuesday, so he has a good excuse, he's really busy!)

As posted 11-4-09:
Last week I decided to save my candy corn tablescape for this week, but I forgot I had used a black table cover and it still looked a little bit Halloween, see below:

So I quickly put another candy corn tablescape together using a white tablecloth over gold:

The dishes are the same:

I did reverse the two napkins, above the white sheer is on the outside.

Below the yellow napkin is on the outside:

I used white, yellow, and pumpkin plates for the candy corn effect.
And I used the yellow handled flatware with the white tablecloth.

I added fall colored faux hydrangea in the orange wicker pumpkin centerpiece

I had planned to have a bit of whimsy with the other centerpiece saying the beaded spray represented the inside pulp of the pumpkin (seeds, etc.) were spilling out!

The candy corn mini cups were filled with the sweet, sweet candy corn:

Somehow most of the real candy corn disappeared after the first pictures were taken.

The large pieces of candy corn are made of glass:

Which candy corn tablescape is your favorite, the black, or the white tablecloth?

I like the black best for Halloween,
but now I like the white best for a fall tablescape.

Thanks to Susan for hosting Tablescape Thursdays, so we can play with our dishes and enjoy seeing each other's creations! So fun! Go here to Susan's blog for lots more inspiration.


I hope you enjoyed seeing my candy corn tablescapes! Won't you join me, here's a place for you!

Below is a wooden candy corn pin I bought at a craft show years ago. Doesn't he make you smile?

Hope to see you again soon when I get the rest of my fall decorating posted! Maybe this weekend!

Added note Friday night: The fall decor boxes are out of the attic!!!!!! Yay! Now, on to the decorating!! I'll be posting soon!
