Pumpkins and Leaves for a Fall Table

Good morning! I set a new table for us for Fall. I love the colors of Fall and use them all over the house. This table is warm and cozy to us. Fall tables mean organics, textures, warm colors, and a pretty centerpiece. I used a pumpkin runner, orange place mats, a burlap charger, orange dinner plate, leafy salad plate and a pumpkin on top of the stack.

I LOVE to use my brown bamboo flatware, especially in the Fall.

Amber bubble goblets and leafy covered goblets for your beverage of choice.

I am using my brown slatted box for my centerpiece. I filled it with "fluff: (shredded paper) then added a pumpkin and gourd platter, leaves, pumpkins and a bird!

This little sign sits to the right side

The gourd rests on the left side.

I gathered 3 napkins with the pumpkin napkin ring: a burlap like fabric, an orange and a goldish one.

I always try to place a votive candle at each of our place settings as the daylight gets shorter every day:(

This throw is draped across one of the end chairs.

My leaf and acorn S and P sit on their matching tray.

Some shots at dusk.

I LOVE these lanterns that I got many years ago at Steinmart. The candles are actually a dark russet color but appear red in the pictures?

The leaf candle in the centerpiece is an LED candle and has a timer.

I got these pumpkin rings at CTS last year and they were 4 for $6.99!!!! I saw them there again this year if anyone is interested. They are a nice quality and should last for years.

Thanks for your visit! Has Fall arrived where you are. We are having beautiful weather: cool mornings and evenings and low 70's during the day!!! I love it!

2019 Fall Mantle and Hearth

Fall is 6 days away but I am decorated and enjoying it! We also have been having beautiful "fallish" weather, cool mornings and evenings and mid 70's during the day! PERFECT for me! I am loving it!!! Today I will share the mantle and hearth, all decked out for Fall.

I usually change out the artwork for Fall but this year decided to keep it and work with it. I LOVE the combination of blue and white with orange so decorating for Fall is my favorite time!

On the hearth, the elephants and lanterns are a constant. I added the small white pumpkins and the vignette in the center.

The berry garland is intertwined with a leaf garland and draped over the side of the mantle.

I piled some "velvet" pumpkins and a velvet acorn in my pedestal bowl. I added some berry picks and a few candle rings under the pumpkins! The large orange pumpkin sits beside it and the branch of blue pumpkins was a gift from my friend!
