Repost of A Fall Table and Embellished Garland!

OMGoodness, I have been dying to share this with you. My friend Mary at Home is Where the Boat Is  blog, got these dishes from Mikasa in exchange for advertising for them. When I saw her GORGEOUS post, I FELL IN LOVE with the dishes and told Mary I was going to get some. She e-mailed me and asked if she could SEND THEM TO ME!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHAAATTT???? I was ecstatic! They are just beautiful, truly, and are in the colors that I LOVE! I will use these for many years to come! So without further ado, here is my table. Hope you like it. This is a service for 4 but I just set the table for Joe and I. I posted this table last year, as you will see (the walls were still white). I decided I couldn't do a better table but wanted to reshare these gorgeous dishes. We are getting lots of use out of them and will for years to come!!!

 I started with a beige tablecloth to give a neutral background to the table to highlight the dishes. Then I made a garland. I started with a VERY basic leaf garland and just added to it! I am a bad blogger and forgot to get a picture when I started, sorry!!!

 I added one of my berry garlands, some fresh cut hydrangeas from the yard

 a pine cone found while out on my walk

 and a monkey ball found on the same walk

 The inside of the bowl is plain so I added some leaves:)

 And a little "fluff" under the bowls adds texture and pizazz!!!

 I gathered 3 napkins this time; green, beige and orange, mimicing the colors of the leaves on the plates.

 gathered in a leaf embossed ring

 I added a simple candle holder and my cute squirrel. I like squirrels now that we aren't in the woods and they aren't destroying everything in sight:):) And now that it is getting dark earlier we can light our candle at dinner!!

 Oh how I love Fall, these dishes and colors!!! This makes my heart happy. They look even more beautiful now that the room is painted:)

My trusty brown bamboo flatware are used all during Fall.

 My dollar store goblets are perfect too.

I found these carved gourds several years ago and have never used them. Aren't thet great!?

 Let's light that candle!

~~~A Repost and a Reason~~~

Good Saturday morning. I do not have a Spring post together yet. We had a social at the clubhouse last night and then friends came back here and tomorrow we are having company so I have not had a chance to get my Spring things out yet. I don't want the mess out for company, but next week it will get done. We are leaving Fri. for FLORIDA!!! I can't wait. We have lots of family and several friends all living there that we plan to visit. No schedule, just winging it! First time in our lives to be aber to do that! So here is an old post from last year, just to get you ready for Spring:)

~~~Feathering Our Nest, Morning Room Table~~~

Good Saturday afternoon. I don't know where the morning went!!! Yesterday I was having some friends over so I spent the night before and the moring yesterday SPIT SHINING the house. The kitchen and Morning room are now dressed in their finest Spring decor:):) I wanted to share some of that with you. Here we go: This is the fabulous faux terrarium that I found at TJMaxx a few months ago and had it filled with bunnies for Easter. Now that I am "feathering our nest", I have brought out the BIRDS, nests, pots, and birdhouses. The air plants that are perched on the top are from Robin of All Things Heart and Home blog. She is the SWEETEST, most generous friend!

 I placed this birdhouse inside and on a little stand to bring it up some.

 This large bird used to live on my windowsill at the other house.

  The whole terrarium is lined with some moss for now.

 I love the 2 topiaries, and on each side of them are these cute wire cages that I found last year. They sit in a nest with a bird who is watching over her eggs. See the little bird on top too?

 A close up of the runner. I have 2 of these runners. I love the colors and design.

 The S and P are watering cans.

 I used a green striped placemat, my square wicker handled chargers, a detailed white plate and my pretty printed salad plates all topped with a twiggy wreath (that I also use as napkin rings) and a bird!

 The white marbled flatware is our everyday flatware for this season.

 I paired it with a printed green napkin. I like all the different hues of green on the table. It reminds me of everything outside that is greening up right now!

 

Sorry for the repeat, but will be getting things together soon! have a fabulous weekend my friends!!!!! XO, Pinky
