Please join Susan at Between Naps on the Porch to see what other fall tablescapes there may be this Thursday!
A dark green tablecloth seems a perfect backdrop for the oranges and golds of the pumpkins and gourds.
Each place is a blue and white Spode plate, a small leave plate (to be used as a bread and butter plate) that I got ages ago at Wal Mart. Gold napkins blend well with the greens, golds and oranges of fall.
The big blue and white bowl is always on the dining room table this fall -- filled with pumpkins and gourds and bittersweet. It's low enough that it is a perfect dinner party centerpiece. Some more bittersweet twined around and some mercury glass votives placed here and there and my sterling candlesticks on either end for more candlelight.
Silver wine bottle holders placed around the table so that refilling glasses is not a chore. Placecards are silk leaves -- with the names written on them with Magic Marker. Thankfully, all the guests had short names!
I always love that time -- just before the party starts when everything is ready and the guests have yet to arrive. The table always looks so pretty and so expectant.
Please join Susan at Between Naps on the Porch for it's time for Tablescape Thursday -- it's fall and I'm sure that there will be several fall tablescapes. It will be fun to see everyone's take on how to decorate and set a table for fall!

I was at one of my favorite shops yesterday and your table looks much like their beautiful fall decor. I could hardly tear myself away--and didn't without a purchase.
Best,

Different colours and different forms, gorgeous, indeed!
Get well soon. Now, we're 2 who's healing.
Happy TS Day.

Wow, your table is gorgeous. I love the bowl with the gourds and bittersweet. the colors are scrumptious! get better.
Reading this post, I can't wait to get home and fill up my big blue bowl with gourds and leaves. I've been away for far too long and am yearning for my house now.
In a perfect world, I'd be able to send you a wonderful covered dish meal along with my continued wishes for a speedy recovery.
I pray that you continue to heal in a steady fashion. I admire you for honoring your limitations for entertaining during your season of recovery. The tablescape is beautiful, but I have to admit that it is the large blue and white centerpiece bowl that makes my heart go pittypat. Just magnificent. Thank you for sharing your charming design.
Hi Martha, hope you are taking care of you and will be feeling better soon!
Lovely table, I like your center piece and the Asian pieces mixed with the Fall things, nice!

Sorry to hear about the cold weather you are having. The reminder of summer we are having won't last long. I love the centerpiece on your table. I hope you'll soon be back on both feet. Take care, Martha. Blessings...Mary
