LAYERS OF FALL . . . . . .

After returning from England, I began noticing real seasonal changes in the weather.  Of course with that comes Fall changes inside.  We are having a very special guest in a couple

of weeks (more on that later) and I just wanted to start experimenting with breakfast table colors, linens and dishware.   I went into my bag of tricks and of course with that came some reorganizing of shelves in the storage area. . . . . . . yikes, scarry.  I found some things I had forgotten I had.  The pewter dishes for example. . . . love pewter at this time of the year especially.  I also love neutrals with bright colors as well. . . . . I selected my
magenta linens to accent this fall table.

I used rattan square chargers to hold the 'harvest'.  My lamb

was a purchase in an antique shop while in England.  I have

used him on a chippy old base bought at Joys' of the http://savvycityfarmer.blogspot.com/

(I can always count on her for that wonderful, old, chippy componant that has

become imbedded into my soul.)  The glass dome just cleanly adds interest.

I love mixing white and cream tones.  My little white rooster

milk pitcher was a purchase for Robins Egg Blue many years

ago.  He is sitting on magenta bread and butter dishes

which I will be used for scones. . . . just trying to find out where

to buy the clotted cream!!  I made the homemade jam this summer!

So happy I found these little pewter dishes.  I have had

them for years.

The white lettuce bowls will be used for fresh fruit.  The cream

and sugar mid-table is from the Bridgewater collection of dishware.

I did purchase a burlap runner and love it with the rattan. The runner is

from good ole Pottery Barn.  They just seem to improve by the minute.

Great displays, great product at great prices if you are buying new.

Dinner will be served this special weekend and I will share the dining

room table upon completion.

Enjoy this beautiful day and the rest of your weekend and thanks so much

for stopping by.
