This is my “Frost on the
Pumpkin” table setting. I'd like to say that we've had frost on our pumpkins,
but it has been unseasonably warm through the early part of November, so I had
to create my own “frosty pumpkin” illusion by way of this table setting.
This is a fun table, made up almost entirely of pieces purchased at Pier 1.
As you have probably guessed
from previous blog posts, I am a huge fan of Pier 1 Imports. It's
dangerous every time I walk into the store because I never come out without at
least one (usually more) items in a bag. (Remind me to tell you about the
“Chair Caper” some time.)
The dinner plates shown here are from Pier 1's spice route collection. I love
these plates! They come in a wide variety of warm tones, all colors of exotic spices,
and each blends beautifully with the other. The knobby border makes these
perfect for layering because it adds interest without adding pattern.
The salad plates with the pumpkin and vine image are also from Pier 1. I have
been using them since early September. I love the season of harvest, and these
plates are nicely transitional.
The lidded pumpkin soup bowls are another Pier 1 score. Now is the time to shop
for these items because they are all on sale. Yay!
If you click the box in the
upper right hand column of this blog, you'll go right to the site. Be sure to
use the coupon code for extra savings. I order online and save shipping costs
by having things pulled directly from our local store, bagged and ready for my
arrival, making shopping during this busy time
of the year a breeze.
The centerpiece of this table employs, once again, the use of my favorite dough
bowl from Pottery Barn, along with a variety of other items gathered from
various collections around the house. Many of the items here are simply extras
left over from the various bags vase fillers that I've acquired over the years; to fill-in a couple of bare spots, I used
cornhusks
from Melissa's produce. I keep these on hand just
for this purpose, I am not kidding. If nothing more, this goes to show
just how creative you can be when assembling a centerpiece.
Look around the house, see
what you have, grab from here and there, and you'll be able to pull together a
centerpiece that just might surprise you.
I wanted a candle so grabbed a
piece of Pfaltzgraff from many years past, sunk it down in the middle, and
surrounded it with various items that I’d gathered together. I quite like the
way this turned out.

Great fall table, Pattie! Love the pumpkin dishes. Wish I could get enthused to do another tablescape, just not there any longer.
Have a great week.

Beautiful! I love the mix of formal and rustic. You've blended everything into a gorgeous presentation. Taking notes for my Thanksgiving table :)
Wow, this is beautiful! I love the mix of patterns and colors!
I love this table! From the tablecloth to the dough bowl you did a beautiful job. Love the dish stack- colors and textures. I love Pier 1 too and a while back I brought my husband in and the girls greeted me by my first name and he laughed knowing why!
This is such a gorgeous table setting! Thanks so much for sharing it at The Homemaking Party!
