The "New" Autumn Tablescape

Here in California, we are facing another year-long season of drought conditions. As the weather changes, so does the temperature. It is getting hotter and hotter. Our Fall and Winter seasons here in Northern California along the coast have always been mild but now they are almost nonexistent. So, when Pat found a set of "cactus" accent plates in my cupboard the other day, she thought they would be perfect for an Autumn tablescape...albeit a somewhat prophetic and ominous sign of the future....




The accent plate is "La Mesa" by Fitz & Floyd
Luncheon Plate is Chocolate "Fiesta(ware)" by Homer Laughlin
The dinner plate is Ivory "Fiesta(ware) and the charger is Royal Blue "Color Spectrum" by Mikasa
Flatware is "Montana" by Gourmet Settings
Goblets are Brown "Espresso" by Lenox

"Wyoming Pete" sits on a candle stand. He is part of the Richard Simmons' "Nana's Family" Dolls collection
From the other end of the table

Where it came from:

Dinner Plate - Ivory "Fiesta(ware)" by Homer Laughlin from Macy's

ago
Accent Plate - "La Mesa" by Fitz & Floyd from eBay
Flatware - "Montana" by Gourmet Settings from Bed, Bath, and Beyond many years ago
Glassware - "Espresso" Brown by Lenox (a gift from Pat's daughter)

Napkin Ring - from Pat's collection
Centerpiece Metal Ring Candleholder - from Kohl's five or six years ago

  1. I'm sorry that your fall weather is drought-laden again but this is a great table! I wish I could send you some of the pretty fall weather we're having in N. GA right now.

  2. I love how the plate stack echos all the colors from the salad plate, and the brown tones throughout are very "Autumn" indeed. We are having very good temperatures in Iowa for a Fall season, but it has been very dry here too. As Joy said, I'm so sorry you are still in drought out there. Always enjoy your posts!
