Lenox Interlude Autumn Tablescape

This week's table is a collaboration between Pat and our Great-niece, Maya. While Maya chose the pieces and then created the place setting, Pat designed the centerpiece. Me? I watched, pet the cat, and drank coffee and ate licorice.....I kept busy.




Flatware is "Musee" by Reed & Barton



The chargers are actually a "Colonial Red" (somewhat dark not this bright red. I tried to get a better picture to show a more accurate color but was hindered by the dark, gloomy and very rainy weather outside)

Tablecloth and Matching Napkins - from Linentablecloth.com five or six years ago
Silver Napkin Insert - from Pier 1 years ago
Off-white Oval Place Mats - from Art& Old Things (a local antique store now closed)

Autumn Harvest Tablescape 2025

Pat set this week's table for a simple, quick family dinner. Nothing special or unique - just easy-to-access dinnerware, flatware, and glassware put together with a centerpiece made from autumn vegetables found in my refrigerator and pantry. Of course, the "vegetable candles" (a gift from our great-niece, Maya) set the inspiration for the centerpiece.




The copper "hammered" flatware is by Hampton Forge from Horchow.
The accent plates are ironstone "Harvest Village" from Pier 1
Last week, Pat used the salad plate to this pattern - "Spice Route Clove" from Pier 1
I promise this napkin was ironed - but I took the picture much later in the day after the table was set.
