A New Table for 2!!!

I showed you our everyday table last week but I said it was "for now". You know I love to change things up, gotta keep it interesting. Plus I love to USE what I have! I have this great runner featuring beautiful pumpkins, so pumpkins came to the table! I made a mini stack of the small orange pumpkins.

I am using my tiny chair napkin rings and a teeny pumpkin sits on the chair seat!

My wrought iron candle holder, shaped like a pumpkin, from Kirklands, years ago, is my centerpiece. I like to be able to light the candle at dinner.

These glass pumpkins with tea lights in them have stayed. And that plant in the background has been moved. I am taking Yvonne's advice and pairing down some spaces.

This is how the table started but then I decided to do a stack of plates too.

I am using a regular placemat, round placemat, a burlap charger, a leaf dinner plate and my pumpkin salad plate. On top of al that is a small clay pot embellished with 2 candle rings and a small faux pumpkin.

I saw this in a store and loved the idea!

This placemat is plastic and I got them at the grocery store. SOMEONE I know can make a mess so this keeps things safe:)

I think it looks great with the runner.

I forget where I got these dishes, several years ago.

The pumpkin salad plates I have had for years too! I THINK they may have come from Walmart?

An orange and a tan napkin are gathered together.

You can see here that I brought my pottery vase of leaves back and it sits in front of the windows. It gives us some privacy while eating dinner, now that it gets dark so early:(:( I am glad I removed that plant, it was too cluttered looking.
