November's coming

Hello everybody how has your week been? Living in Seattle just keeps getting better and better. Mother Nature has really pulled out all the stops in her Fall splendor here. The array of colors has just been breathtaking. I will be sad to see all the color gone and the trees so bare.

This week I created at table using the new Better Homes and Gardens plates from Walmart.I tried resisting these for weeks and just stopped to see if anything new was out yet.I was not going to buy anything. I am determined to save my pennies for a trip to Figi some day and I know I just didn't need to buy more plates. but there were only four left not five not three but four . So they needed a new home right?

I used my tablecloth from last year. It seems my cat thinks he needs fabric threads and fringe in his diet and proceeds to eat anything hanging over a table that is why not knowing till I took the pics of the lets say bigger pumpkin pattern.

I used a cornucopia for my centerpiece

These plaid chargers are new I got them when they were on clearance at Michaels and using my employee discount they came to .75 cents each.The plaid napkins are the ones from Candy and thought they would go well with the plates. 

And the cord hanging behind adds a little dimension to my table don't you think? Its funny what the camera sees that we don't even notice.

The table is set and the candles are ready to be lit. this colorful fabric was a gift from my friends remnant stash. It really says Fall to me

These glasses are from Dollar Tree they really have some great glassware from time to time

I am a sucker for napkin rings I am embarrassed to say how many sets I have. How does this happen that we end up amassing great quanities of things like napkin rings in our lives?But they are pumpkins and just to cute to pass up.when you find things at a clearance bin at thrift stores take the time and check them out . you would be amazed at the bargains waiting for you to take home

The sunflowers are nice and bright. .My husband grows the most magnificent sunflowers I have ever seen, they are massive

I can't wait for November to get here because then I know all the Christmas tables are not far behind.That is always some of the best eye candy ever.
