Tablescape Thursday - Golden Autumn


I'm not much of a "yellow" person, but I love the amber yellows of autumn.  The leaves, the fruits and vegetables... They're muted and warm, rich yet mellow.







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!

    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

    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.

    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
