Autumn Copper and Fiesta(ware) Tablescape

Pat's daughter, Jennifer, was here this weekend, and we got her to design an Autumn table for the weekly blog - she, of course, chose her favorite dinnerware to use - Fiesta(ware) and selected Pier 1's copper goblets to add additional color to the table.

Where it came from:

Burnt Orange Place Mats - from Bed, Bath, and Beyond several years ago

Colorful Dinnerware - "Sage," "Chocolate," and "Tangerine," Fiesta(ware) by Homer Laughlin from Macy's, Kohl's, and Replacements,Ltd.

Hammered Copper Flatware - "Paris Essenstahl" by Hampton Forge from Horchow years ago

Drinkware - Copper goblet from Pier 1 years ago

Pumpkin Napkins - Handmade by Pat

Sage Green Wicker Napkin Rings - from Pier 1 nine or ten years ago

Assorted Faux Pumpkins, Squash, Burnt Orange Hydrangea, Greenery - from Michael's, TJMaxx and Pier 1

Get Out the Vote Tablescape

This week's table is our bi-annual tribute to our right to vote - set for both family Democrats and Republicans. We don't allow any discussion of politics anymore (sadly since 2016.) Gone are the days of mild banter between the family party members. Today, we just visit and enjoy each other's company and the good food.

Pat set the table in traditional "party colors" of red and blue. She even pulled out the party napkins that she made years ago - blue Democrat and red Republican together with our Mother's flag napkin rings purchased many years ago.
