Autumn Pumpkin Tablescape

Pat really likes to set Autumn tablescapes as confirmed by the number of Autumn-themed tables we have posted. She promised me that next week our table would not be in oranges and greens. I am not a big fan of that fall color combination - I know it is almost sacrilegious to dislike Autumn but it is not my favorite season either. I can't wait for Winter and Christmas! (Alright, truth be told, I love Santa Claus, not Winter so much - well, collecting him, that is, as you can tell by my stash of hundreds of the jolly, round guy in all sizes. It's OK....It's excusable. I'm in my seventies - I'm eccentric....or weird, or quirky, or unconventional, or worse yet, "odd" as the family likes to say. Take your pick. I've learned to live with it.)

Well, anyway, here is this week's table:

The bread and butter plate is vintage "Old Ivory" Fiesta(ware) by Homer Laughlin. It was produced from 1936-1951 and is a treasured part of my collection of Fiesta(ware) bread and butter plates.

The satin-finished flatware is "Vault" by Gourmet Settings

The wire pumpkin napkin ring is from Pier 1 many years ago

Pat and I found the chargers on a super-sale rack at Pier 1 nine or ten years ago. We bought all of them. The original color was a dark brown wood tone. Pat's husband spray-painted eight of them in this burnt orange color for a tablescape challenge that we participated in featuring a bundt pan. It was really a lot of fun. (Here)

Glassware is "Lawrence" from Pier 1 several years ago

The centerpiece is just an assortment of pumpkins, squash and grapevine balls.
