Despite the fact that the calendar insists there are three more
weeks of summer, once September hits, it’s over for me. My official first day
of fall is September 1. I’ve noticed a change in myself; I’m starting to
gravitate towards fall colors, I bought pumpkin to make quick bread, and I’ve
been digging out my favorite throws to launder and have at the ready. Why am I
mentioning this, you may ask? I mention it because this will be my last table
of the summer. I had actually started another summer table in pink and green
with flamingos, but I just wasn’t feeling it, so I took it all down in favor of
something more autumnal.
What I brought forward here from last
week's tablescape is the salmon colored
glassware. As I mentioned last week, it fits quite suitably on a table with an
ocean theme, based upon name alone.
The star of the show is the Dario Farrucci Italian ceramic pitcher at the
center. Isn’t he a cutie? The flowers
came in a vase (that I donated) from Amazon (I
chose the Burgundy arrangement, and it matched perfectly), to which I added
fresh olive branches that I snipped off of my tree.
The table covering is from Williams-Sonoma, as are the matching napkins and
crab plates. I love this combination.
The woven placemats form the base of the plate stack on top of which I have
painted tin chargers, and rustic brown plates that I found here. Next to the place setting are little fish dishes (from World
Market) to do use for butter pats.

The hammered flatware is by Mikasa and I found it here.
Joining the salmon colored ice tea glass is gorgeous cobalt
blue stemware.

While dining at this table I enjoyed a new (to me)
recipe for a clone of Chi-Chi’s enchilada casserole made up of crabmeat
enchiladas. It was very delicious and the plate was perfectly appropriate.
Be sure to come back next time to see what elements of this table I brought
forward into my first table of fall.
