Tablescape Thursday ~ Looking Forward To Fall!

Please join Susan @ Between Naps On The Porch to view her always beautifully creative tablescape and then click on the others who have opted to join in the fun this week!

Today I set the table in the dining room for a family dinner tonight, I'm happy the Fall season will soon be upon us so I set the table with that mind.




Once again I am using some leaf-shaped doilies as placemats:




Our dinner plates and salad plates are from one of our everyday sets:




The bread plates are actually a set of dessert plates that I had picked up at TJ Maxx last year:



I'm not crazy about the bowls that came with this set, so I'm using some other bowls that I found a few summers ago in a little shop in Southampton, Long Island, NY:

(There are two of each color and design.)










The flatware and the amber crackled glasses are also from everyday sets:






The napkins were bought at the Ralph Lauren Home outlet (on sale they were packaged four @ $5.99):



The napkin rings were purchased at the Pottery Barn outlet store (on sale for ninety-seven cents apiece):




The centerpiece is a large vase that I had purchased at Bombay many years ago and I filled it with silk flowers (they're not really Fall flowers or colors but I have a weakness for Bells of Ireland):





I surrounded the vase with the trunk candles purchased at the Pottery Barn outlet (I used one of these in another of my tablescapes a few weeks ago), and I used some other items from around the house that make me think of Autumn:




I used my little owl votive holder too, just because he makes me smile!








Happy Tablescape Thursday!
Happy Fall!

  17. The amber color, that cutie owl and the rustic candles are lovely! I'm sooo jealous that you have a PB outlet! It's probably good that I don't have one close1 :)
