Sage and Amber Autumn Tablescape

There was a brief glimmer of hope that we might have much needed rain this week but it faded fast - just gray, overcast skies and not one ray of sunshine for days on end. Pat said we need something colorful in our lives - but it is Autumn after all. That means less than a brightly vivid color palate. In the end, sage and amber won the color war and this week's table was set with traditional Fall tones.

Dinnerware is "Basket Weave" by Oneida [2003-2012]

Flatware is simple "Addison" by Mikasa

We bought the amber drinkware from Pier 1 years ago. Pat liked the idea of using a "textured" looking glass with the basket weave dinner plate.

We literally tried dozens of different centerpiece combinations for this table - nothing worked. All of our Autumn garlands were weird oranges and rusts and the wrong color green. Our green squash was more blue than green. Flowers didn't seem to "fit" and looked awful. And the candle choices were a nightmare.....so we finally settled on one of our premade arrangements (again).

One last look
