Sunflowers in Autumn Tablescape

It's been quite a while since we last used our "Sunflower" dinnerware from Pier 1. Although Pat used it for everyday last year [Pat always changes up her dinnerware for each season and/or holiday since we are "fortunate"enough to own several patterns - the word "fortunate" is probably not the word I am looking for if you listen to family and friends.....I fully admit I have a dish problem and my dear sister is almost as addicted], it has been sitting on the shelf among all the other dinnerware waiting to be used again.

In addition to spray painting the chargers and matching napkin rings, Pat's sweet husband made our rustic centerpiece box for us a couple years ago.

Flatware is my old "everyday" pattern from the 1980's - Noritake's ceramic handled "Iron Brown"

From the other end of the table

Brown Water Goblets - "Classic Mocha" by Libby from Kohl's years ago
Beer Pilsner - "Quench" by Circleware from Ross several years ago
