Tablescape on a rainy night 10/8

It's starting to look like I'll be tablescaping on my kitchen table for awhile. (That is unless we have a really nice indian summer.) Thank you Susan for being such a gracious host each week for Tablescape Thursday. Everyone must visit her spectacular blog and then look up the other participants for this party. http://betweennapsontheporch.blogspot.com/


A nice warm dinner for me while it's rainy and chilly outside. The table runner I've had from back when I had a shoppe. (Used to sell them there.) My little clay pot coffee cup, I think I got as a gift but I'm not sure. I've had it for ages.


Plates and napkins & rings are from thrift stores. The old worn stainless is my everyday that I've had for years (and years).


Roosters and a glass of wine. (Really cranberry juice : ))


Fall bouquet. Some from the market, some from my garden.


My sister made this beautiful fall card for me. If you click it you can read the verse. Inside it says "Now go out and jump in a big pile of leaves" : ))


Can you believe it; this tablescape actually had real food. This was the stew I made and put on Crock Pot Wednesday. Of course I had to have biscuits with it.
Lot's of leftovers too :))
Have a wonderful Thursday everyone.
Shirley

    I ♥ your little clay pot coffee cup....so cute!

    I remember racking up leaves with my siblings & making different rooms of an imaginary house with them in straight little boxes.
    Thanks for jogging that memory. :D
