I came up with the name for this tablescape because while it is
indeed fall, today as I photographed this table, it was 93°! So, the leaves on
the trees are still green, my deck garden is still thriving, and while cooler
weather is undoubtedly on the way, at the moment, fall is just whispering.
I love this table! I have really been embracing the quietude of neutral colors
lately, and I find them particularly inviting at the dinner table.
This tablecloth is a versatile favorite, so you
can expect to see it a number of times in the future.
The stemware belonged to my mother, as did the cups and saucers.
I borrowed the latter from my dad when I saw him for lunch earlier in the week.
These go way back to the 70s, and were, I believe, either a giveaway, or a
purchase with purchase at the local grocery store. Remember those days when you
used to get free dishes or cookbooks when you shopped at the grocery store? I
really miss those days. This set was from Graham Kerr, whom you may remember,
if you’re as old as I am, as The Galloping Gourmet.
The crescent-shaped salad dishes are almost as
old as the cups and saucers. I bought these when I first set up housekeeping so
long ago. I’d like the fact that they didn’t take up a lot of room on the
smallish table that I had back then. Trust me when I tell you that a lot of the
dishes have come and gone in my life, but the salad bowls are here to stay.
I hope you enjoy this table as much as I do.
If you enjoy neutral tables, then this Farmhouse Table might be for you.

I love the pumpkin shaped plates. They are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThis is an awesome autumn table...just gorgeous. I love everything and think I favor your tablecloth. I got rid of so many of my dishes when we moved 5 yrs ago...not sure I can even find enuf to have a fall tablescape.
ReplyDeleteIt's not fall weather yet where I live, either, but your "whispers" table is just perfect! I love your creamy white pumpkin dishes and your pretty centerpiece. One of these days, fall weather will arrive - I hope!
ReplyDeleteha ha, Fall is barely whispering here too Pattie, we're still in the 90s too but I've been buying pumpkins and mums like crazy trying to set the mood! I love the soft palette of white and brown, very attractive!
