I bought these plates several years ago from a shop in Duncan, BC (Canada) called Pots and Paraphernalia. I had seen similar plates used by Ann of Thibeault's Table, so Ann got the phone number of the store and business was done! I love these plates!
I found these bowls at Tuesday Morning for a mere 99 cents apiece. The cream-colored salad plates were also found there for about $1.50 apiece. I love a bargain!
I was so taken by this matelasse tablecloth several years ago, that I bought a second, smaller one for one of my bedside tables. I believe they came from Horchow's.
The napkins were another Tuesday Morning find. I was so happy to find a set of napkins to go so well with my Canadian dishes!
Guess where I found this bowl?? I'll give you a hint: it's initials are "T" and "M"...
I've had these candlesticks for a hundred years... It was love at first sight!
Besides cooking (and tablescaping!), one of my favorite hobbies is crocheting. I have so many afghans all over my house! I thought these afghans, which I made a year or so ago, would look nice draped over the back of a couple of the chairs for this setting.
Many thanks again to Susan of Between Naps On the Porch for hosting Tablescape Thursdays!! Please visit her site to see the labors of the many inspired (and inspiring!), talented tablescapers!

Think the Harvest Gold color is a winner!
Lovely table you've created and are sharing with TT.
Glad I got to stop by and see this.

love your dinner plates, you are an addict buying internationally!
Yes, J., my name is Lori and I am a bona fide dishware addict.
The thing about dishes: they always fit and I can usually find a deal somewhere to enable my addiction! :D
I found your blog via Once Upon A Plate. She posted a recipe that she said she got through your blog, so here I am.
What a beautiful table, the golden colors of fall.
I also have become a follower of your blog, I love to share recipes and ideas. Come by and visit my blog anytime.

Absolutely beautiful tablescape!!
The perfect autumn table setting!
And Lori, I bet I know where you got that beautiful bowl. It was either, Tuesday Morning, Tj Maxx...or Tijuana, Mexico?
Thank you all for your kind comments!!
Sol, that would be a blast to go to Tijuana for a home decor shopping trip! Maybe I should consider that trip for a future tablescape... ;D
Hi! Its great to meet you, thanks so much for stopping over at my blog. Wow, this table is gorgeous. Love all the subtle shades of color. I can't believe you made those afghans, I love them on the chairs. I'm definitely going to have start collecting some more dishes and glassware and things. You ladies are making me all jealous:)
I love the idea of the blankets over the chair backs- how cozy! And, I love the texture on the yellowish texture bowls against the white plates. Gorgeous, just gorgeous! :)
Heart be still. Lori, that is one lovely table ~ I love everything about it. Everything. Love the story about your BC plates. :)
Your crochet pieces are beautiful! I want to see MORE. :)
Very, very nice! I hope you have a wonderful weekend.
Lori, your tablesetting is absolutely beautiful. I love the tablecloth! It adds such a nice texture to your table.
Your tablescape is very warm and inviting, lovely. The tablecloth is my favorite, just gorgeous, I love matelasse and have several items in matelasse in my bedroom.
Thanks for stopping by Creative Chics and drawing me to your website.. Happy Thanksgiving
Oh your table has a lovely golden fall glow about it! It looks so warm and inviting and I would love to have one of those beautiful afghans -- although, I had a memory that made me giggle a little -- my dear grandmother used to call them "Africans" -- we never could convince her that wasn't what they were called.
I love your plates!
That recipe for gnocchi sounds sooo good! Wish I was eating some right now!
So Pretty! I love your tablecloth too! AND the tassel candelholders as well!

I LOVE your tablecloth. I don't know that I have ever seen one like it! Now being the dish and tablescape person that I am I will be on the lookout for one! :) Love this whole look you have put together. Thanks so much for stopping by for a visit today.

Lovely table..another confessed dish addict here!
I love a bargain, be it Villeroy and Boch or Tuesday Morning..
Those candle sticks are wonderful! Unique..
How pretty this tablescape is! I thought those pretty amber colored glass bowls were an antique. I didn't see those at our TM. Everything on this table is beautifully coordinated. Love the addition of the afghans. They are gorgeous, and I envy your talent to make them. laurie
