First Fall tablescape

Hi everybody boy have I had a week. I am trying to play catch up and feel like I am weeks behind  instead of just one.First my hard drive went on the computer sent it out for repairs get it back then the off and on button housing went and had to be sent out again. Then I had to fly to N Cal for the ceremony of life for my brother and I have not  had time to compose a post so this is going to be a rush order this week plus have to get ready for the  Bundt challenge later on .

My inspiration came from Candy at Plum Creek when she made her beautiful white Fall Tablescape and I knew I wanted to try to copy hers using my own twist. I felt the colors were so warm and serene.I used my soup tureen that I also thrifted.

I bought out my good crystal glasses and stayed with white and browns with just little splashes of colors.The placemats were such a steal at Burlington Coat factory I had to do a double take and actually felt like I was on Candid Camera looking around to see who was watching me if I was going to grab them.. clearance for 29 cents  a piece and I was lucky enough to get all four. Plus they are reversible with solid on the back so that means they get to serve double duty and I can use them in a second scape.

 I used my antique creme lace napkins my little white soup bowls and my mini handmade panty hose pumpkins

 I threw some sunflowers and Indian corn for the rusticness and that little bit of color I wanted in it.

 I love how the white looks against the dark brown table

 and found the mini whites at Trader Joes they always have the best selection of the little pumpkins and they last forever

Well I hope you like my Quickie table that I just threw together.I miss you gals in blog land so much.See you At Between Naps on the Porch this week and thanks to Diane  for helping me on how to link up with other sites I will finally be able to link up at many more. hope every one  has a great week filled with love and joy.Susie

Fall vignettes

Well now that I have done my Halloween  posts I can move on to my Fall posts

Like everybody else my place has been ready for Fall for a while now but when I decorate for a holiday I do the entire space except I don't have any outdoor spaces to work with 

So this is how I transformed  both my dining and living rooms for  the Autumn season with lots of colors and textures. I love pumpkins in every shape and form and have quite a variety of pumpkins in my various patches through out.

 Here are some grapevine ones great texture on these

my purple hutch even gets set for Fall

this little beauty I just refinished a very old little chair from my Grandfather

                             I used a cupcake stand here filling it with various pumpkins and Fall looks

                                   Here is my cabinet all decked out including a Fall cake plate

                                    What about some plaid pumpkins aren't they cute ?

I filled my trifle bowl with  mini pumpkins in all kinds of materials

Well that's it for my Fall decor now I can start working on my tables but that's for other posts later on have a great week. come join us at between naps on the porch,confessions of a plate addict let's scoop and all the other blogs I  am going to link up with. See ya!Susie

Happy Candy Corn Halloween

I wanted to post my last Halloween table so I can move on the my Fall scapes Candy corn makes me happy

These marshmallow pops came from the dollar store and are nestled in the napkins waiting to be eaten but afraid the witch will come instead

Maybe if I leave her a trail of goodies she'll fly away

To bad candy corn doesn't come as glass beads I would snatch them up to use right away

This plate has mister skull on it.Did she bring unknown guests?

Is this a picture of where she lives?

I made candy corn pumpkins out of childrens candy corn socks aren't they adorable

I bet she cuddles up with these candy corn napkins at night to use as her blanket

I think I will just invite her for lunch maybe we'll have a good time

she can leave her friend at home it would take a lot of lunches to put some meat on his bones

I set the table with  her favorite colors of black  and orange even gave her a pumpkin placemat just to let her know her place

slow down already quit eating all the appetizers

I made candy corn from bottles ( I Had to finish all the wine before she got to them yep and I enjoyed every drop)

I think it is a nice and cheery table, don't care if my guest  of a witch doesn't like the nice bright sunlight coming through

I like all the oranges and yellows it makes for a Happy Halloween

The big pops of yellow help to just brighten every thing up.

I went to the dollar store and got these candycorn pops just for her kinda like a token to take home with I hope she likes them

well I haven't decided on a menu yet I  mean what do you serve a witch and her guests when they suddenly just pop in?

does this just shout happy to you

candy corn pops YUM

well I hope the table is to her liking  and that we have a nice lunch together

just some pics of the whole table

Well I hope you have enjoyed my Happy Candy corn table and hopefully it brought a smile on your face. Keep smiling no matter what life throws at you sometimes it will make people wonder what your up to. And you don't have to tell them.have a good week will be joining Susan at Between Naps on the Porch and a few others ..
