Autumn Leaves

It took us about two seconds to decide that we did not want to do another Halloween tablescape this week - we both wanted something seasonal but no pumpkins (and absolutely no more straw this year!) So, with that in mind, this is what Pat came up with:
Over view of the table


The place setting

Flatware is one of our absolute favorites - "Image" by Spode. It is simple, sleek, and really nice to use.

First layer of the place setting - these bowls have been sitting in the cupboard for a couple of years. Pat thought they would add interest to the table since they come in four different colors.


The Chocolate Fiesta Salad plate acts as the Leaf Soup Bowl liner

I love these plates! My absolutely favorite person at Pier 1, Rayleen, helped me pick them out.


Pat used a simple brown charger to hold it all

The five piece flatware place setting

Bulky, gold napkin rings add the right "weight" to the napkin fold

The brown "Expresso" glassware by Lenox was a gift from my niece

Pat used smaller leaf bowls in assorted colors for votive holders

The centerpiece is a simple candle arrangement

  1. This table just epitomizes fall! I love those leaf bowls in all of their glorious color, and the dark brown goblets are lovely. You've got me thinking about Thanksgiving table settings now -- I too am ready to move on from Halloween hues!
