Autumnal Tablescape

Greetings everyone, Autumnal Greetings that is!

It is surely becoming fall here in the Midwest and I'd like to share a tablescape that reflects all the wonderful things I love about Fall. Thank you for visiting me and be sure to visit Susan and all of the wonderful tablescapes at Between Naps on the Porch.

I'm feeling mighty quiet today and I think I'll let the pictures do most of the talking...I say that now, but I never seem to stay too quiet....

The beginnings, some of my favorite colors....

I ran into these sweet coffee mugs at Family Dollar, if you can believe it! You can never have too many mugs at my house...
Look at the faux bois handle...love it!

Right next to the mugs were these cute S&P shakers and I couldn't resist...imagine having a couple of pairs (or more) for each side of the table...no one would have to say "Please pass the salt..." At a dollar for the pair, it's quite affordable!

Place settings:

Centerpiece:

I am using my everyday dishes (love them) and I can't remember whether it was last year or year before, but I found these salad plates with a wonderful embossed detail at Target. It just happens to coordinate with my dishes...yummy!

I typically like to use column candles, but my friend Judy found me some milk glass taper holders and I love them! Thanks Judy!

I put them on a saucer, I didn't want to risk dripage :)

This carving set was a wedding gift, won't this look beautiful with my new Turkey platter?

The famous ceramic Dollar Tree pumpkins...I've had these for a few years now

I found these beautiful linens at TJ Maxx. I only found one set of napkins (4), but I had a wonderful checked napkin that I knew would coordinate well

I love this napkin fold and used a little pumpkin for the center. I love using table coverings, but to change it up a bit I folded the table cloth in half and left the ends of the table expose, I like seeing the wood table too.
