…………….Where you bring your guests to sit and dine the table is the center of the dining experience…..I think it makes the food taste better when you are sitting at a beautiful table……AUTUMN…..has officially arrived….the weather is changing….the days are getting shorter, and the leaves on the trees are starting to change colors…..all signs that it was time to create a new table scape…….I started with a long ORANGE table cloth, and on top of that I put my shorter printed table cloth with PUMPKINS, VINES and FALL LEAVES….I use my matching print napkins which are held with thick STRAW napkin rings……For my dinner ware I chose my BAMBOO edged dinner and salad plates which sit on GOLD chargers. They all rest on thick STRAW mats…..I used my GOLD spoons, forks and knives to keep the colors warm… For drink ware I have my TORTOISE wine goblets, water glasses and an extra shorter glass for whatever else my guests would like to drink….maybe something alcoholic and SPICY!….For my center piece I have a large ceramic pumpkin with four smaller matching pumpkins surrounding the center one…..Jac and I bought these YEARS AGO…. They each have lights in them which creates a lovely HALLOWEEN mood…..Also, I have tall tapered candles in mixed colors….orange, yellow and wine….which are in different heights GOLD candle holders…..For additional lighting I have my DANDELION LIGHTS, my GOLD STAR lights and four different color candles in the shapes of pears…..I do want my guests to SEE what they are eating!…..I have my pumpkin salt and pepper shakers at one end and my pair of owl salt and pepper shakers at the other end……To finish the decorations I have added four GLASS gourds and pumpkins on stands. When the lights hit them they glow….To I also have four small pumpkin color vases filled with yellow and orange foliage……..Now all I need is the soft background music and my guests!…..I think a PUMPKIN CHEESE CAKE will be on the menu!
