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.

Fall on the Patio and Around the Pond!
I LOVE decorating my patio for Fall!!! I also love sitting out there in the afternoon to read and in the evening with a glass of wine. When it gets chillier we will have a fire in the fireplace!!! I have this cozy throw for chilly evenings.
The wicker trunk holds ALL the cushions and pillows when it rains! They all fit in there then I cover them all with 2 green trash bags IN the trunk to protect them even more.
This jack o lantern sits on a spider holder.
The mums are doing very well!
3 solar lanterns and 2 small pumpkins line the steps.
Cushions and pillows make it comfy for our guests too.
I have not been able to find another pumpkin in the right size for my stack but it's fine with just 2 for now....plus I need to ask Joe to trim back the stem on the white one.
The fireplace is ready for those chilly nights. We can leave it here and move the chairs or put it right in the center of the patio.
The lantern on the hook holds bug spray and has a remote:)
I filled my copper watering can with some faux foliage but will be putting some real things in it soon.
Now we can look around the pond! This is the view from the side yard, approaching the patio.
The mums that have come back from last year are amazing!!!
The other day, Joe and I cut back plants in the pond and some around the pond getting ready for winter:( I see we left the kneeling pad out, sorry:)
The Japanese maple is putting out new growth!
The mulch is being torn up by some critter. Several neighbors have this problem and we don't know what is doing it.
Thanks for your visit! I love to hear from you, so leave me a comment!

Fall in the Morning Room
I can not believe how much a can of paint can change the whole look and FEEL of a room. I looked at last years pictures when the walls were still all white, and it is such a difference. I hope we can get the rest of this floor painted this winter!! Anyway, I am hoping all the people in SC are OK. It is heartbreaking to see all the devastation.
I so enjoy decorating for Fall. I was finally able to get some pictures of this room when the sun came back out! This is the view from coming around from the foyer. It makes my heart happy in the morning to see this.
I love, LOVE this color. The colors of Fall are truly my colors.
Most of you know that Joe built this hutch for the other house. I still love it, he is so good at so many things!
I love decorating the top of this hutch each season.
I like to use garlands on the shelves of the hutch, they add texture and look so pretty.
The brown pumpkin is made of clay.
I added some flowers to the wicker demijohn on top.
This lamp comes on at night and casts a pretty glow in the room.
I bought this valance at our community garage sale the first year we were here. I am SO happy I got it. It is perfect with the color in here.
This is my favorite little squirrel.
I added some hydrangeas from the yard and the twine pumpkins came from Kirklands. They also have them in orange.

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you are dry and enjoying these beautiful Fall days!!!
