Autumn Leaves

It's Autumn, and oh how I love the colors of Autumn.  I've brought out my Autumn box so that I may busy myself with arranging Autumn vignettes around our home.  One of the first things I did was set a centerpiece in the heart of our home.  The rustling leaves in this wreath greet us with rich Autumn colors.

For the centerpiece, I paid a visit to my candle closet and gathered candles representative of my beloved season ~ Mulled Cider, Tuscan Vineyards, and Sienna.

Here is a pic of the pattern in my autumnal tablecloth.  My goodness, something about these colors just makes my pupils dance ~ love these colors.  They're so visually pleasing.  Talk about an eyeful, LOL.

This tablecloth expresses many colors of Autumn.  For a large surface such as a sofa (in this case a table), designers recommend using solids and neutrals, then complimenting with pattern.



 Well, I opted for a tablecloth with a beautiful pattern and used dishes in a solid neutral with a raised design.

I doubled up on the napkins to add more autumnal color and another Autumn leaf.  The flatware highlights additional color from the tablecloth.

Since, I’ve already loaded up on pattern, the ribbed stemware introduces more texture.

The layers showcase the neutrals, raised texture, and the ornate charger ~ ooh la la la.

Autumn, scattered about the tablescape …

These are scented candles, so we will not burn them during dinner.

Candlelight for ambiance…

Lemonade to go with polish sausage with grilled peppers and onions and fries.  My very talented friend Diane from Painted Pozzie’s hand painted this lovely pitcher.  Click here to check her out on Facebook.

Tummies had a plenty.  Sweet Pea and Sugar Pudding have retired to bed to get an early start for school tomorrow.  Mr Wonderful and I are going to watch some primetime on the tube.  Goodnight dear friends.
