Lenox "Wheat" Autumn Table

This week marks the last of our Autumn tablescapes. We are more-than-ready to begin setting some Winter/Christmas tablescape. So this week, Pat used a set of dinnerware she recently found at a store around the corner from her gym (See - I was right when I said going to the gym is dangerous. Just what we didn't need was another set of dishes, Pat.) Anyway, they are beautiful and look great on a table. Produced by Lenox from 1940 to 1982, coup style "Wheat" has a gold wheat center with a thin gold trim around the edge. It is simple and classic.

Not wanting a formal table, Pat started with a burlap place mat and used a rustic napkin.

The centerpiece is an assortment of amber glass and grapevine balls.

Flatware is one of Pat's favorites - Green "Sophia" by Hampton Forge, Ltd. Company

Since the antique gold charger is over 14" wide and makes most dinner plates seem "lost" on it, Pat used a second charger - "Sage Green" Fiesta(ware) Chop Plate by Homer Laughlin.

Glassware is "Espresso" by Lenox

Burlap Place Mats - from Tuesday Morning years ago

Antique Gold Chargers - from Tuesday Morning six or seven years ago

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.
