Harvest Time – Fall Tablescape Blog Hop

~ Autumn, Food & Entertaining, Gardening, Outdoors, Summer

 “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding.”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭3:5‬ ‭

Happy Labor Day sweet friends! Where did summer go? It seemed to whiz on by when I wasn’t looking. It is still in the low nineties in our Appalachian Foothills, but signs that autumn is on its way can be easily seen.

Today, I am joining with nineteen talented bloggers to bring you a Fall Tablescape Blog Hop hosted by the gracious Chloe from Celebrate & Decorate. At the bottom of this post you will find the schedule and all the links for lots of fall tabletop inspiration. With the changing of the seasons, I know that our Southern farmers will be harvesting their crops of corn, soybeans, and cotton. Please pull up a seat and join me at my harvest time table!  Our garden, with its seasonal changes, is the perfect spot for setting an autumn table.

  Recently, a friend of mine that happens to own an antique mall texted me pictures of a set of vintage china that had just arrived at her shop. She knows me well enough to know that I would definitely love it. Immediately, I let her know that I wanted it and to hold it until I could get there. It was a bargain price for this vintage Johnson Bros. “Harvest Time” pattern with its brown multicolor fruit and leaves pattern that is perfect for fall!

  You will not want to miss any of these tablescapes! Be sure to check back daily throughout the week as the posts go live!

  Using my charcuterie board as the base for a centerpiece, I assembled copper mugs and candles for a runner.

  I filled the mugs with flowers and greenery cut from the garden…blush nandina, yellow zinnias, lantana, loropetalum, and purple blooms from variegated liriope!

  Rusty dragonfly napkin rings hold plaid napkins!

  Faux tortoise flatware, a long-ago purchase from Horchow, adds more texture to the table.

  I call this my peridot, amethyst, and citrine stemware!

  The table is layered with a plaid tablecloth, brown placemats, rattan chargers, and the scalloped “Harvest Time” dinner and salad plates.

  The adagio maiden grasses provide plenty of texture as a backdrop for the tablescape!

  As the sun began to set, it was time to light the candles!

  As it turned out, I have known the sweet lady for a long time that owned the dish ware. She has a beautiful home full of antiques.

  “A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in a setting of silver.”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭25:11‬

‭  You might have noticed that I mixed the copper mugs with brass candle holders and rusty napkin rings. You probably guessed that I also like to mix metals!

  The charcuterie board was handcrafted from old European barn wood! You can see how I used it here for BLT’s!

   Precious friends, you make my day with your visits and the comments that you leave behind. Wishing you all a most beautiful day and week ahead!

  1. Pam, I would’ve run to the antique mall for those JB dishes! I have the huge platter in that pattern and just love displaying it in fall. Lucky you! They look so very handsome on your harvest table outdoors with the mixed metals and woodsy elements and garden backdrop. Breathtaking!

  2. Pam, I would be in soooo much trouble if I had a friend with an antique mall who texted me photos of the latest arrivals! Harvest Time by JBros was my grandmother’s every day pattern and I have such fond memories of her and the meals she lovingly prepared, along the few remaining pieces she had. Your charcuterie board makes the perfect centerpiece for the table with your copper mugs as vases and candles…such pretty mini arrangements and flowers from your garden! I’m happy to pull up a chair anytime and join you at a table in your garden anytime, especially to blog hop! Happy Labor Day ♥

  3. How inviting your fall table is! Your garden is the perfect backdrop and I do love the sunset and candlelight photos. Your charcuterie board with copper mugs of greenery and garden flowers and wine candles is a charming centerpiece.The plaid tablecloth and napkins bring all your textures together. You do texture so well.
    Of course, I love your new dishes. They are beautiful!

  4. OH my goodness, Pam, your table and photographs are just stunning!!! To me, this is the perfect setting and table. It has this gorgeous casual feeling of sitting in nature on a spectacular day!! Your gardens frame this beautiful table so wonderfully. I love your barn wood charcuterie board topped with the copper mugs filled with such vibrant fall colors as the centerpiece! And of course I love the plaid tablecloth as the definition of a fall background. Just gorgeous❤️??

  6. Pam, such a gorgeous autumn table set in your beautiful garden. The candlelight photo at the end is my favorite, just so pretty. What a find you have in your Johnson Brothers dishes. I love how in most of their patterns the salad plate is square. Your flower arrangements in copper, placed on your charcuterie board are simply perfect for your table. I can just hear the conversation going well into the night around such a lovely table.
    Happy Labor Day to you and your family@

  7. I must say, those Johnson Brothers really know how to produce a beautiful and pleasing design. I love those dishes so very much and they are just lovely in your autumn table. Everything blends perfectly (I might add, as always — you do have the knack!). I love it.

  9. Pam, Prov 3:5 is one of my favorite verses and your wonderful table is beautiful. I love the copper accents and the Johnson Brothers dinnerware is to die for. Lucky you to have such a great friend to alert you to bargains. Blog hopping with you is so much fun because I found you many moons ago and we are able to share our love of blogging and the Lord. Your gardens are a perfect backdrop for all the seasonal tablescapes. I love their changing glory. Great job my friend. Blessings.

  18. Pam, your beautiful table has me convinced Fall is actually coming even though our heat index is 99!! Clemson and Carolina have started playing football, so all is right with the world. Would appreciate everyone’s prayers as my church starts 11 weeks of Alpha tomorrow, and I’m the leader this year. (alphausa.org if you’re not familiar).

  31. Pam, one of my favorite things about viewing all the wonderful tablescapes is the plates! And yours are no exception! They are so pretty, and perfect for your autumn table. I love the copper mugs filled with flowers. I love the wood element in the charcuterie board adds to the natural feel that, to me, is what fall is all about!

  32. A perfect color coordination that allows you to see the colors of autumn.
    Each piece is very beautiful and original, but I want to highlight one of them, maybe it is the most humble, and it is the large wooden board that serves as a support for all the ornaments of the table runner … and it is rare to see one so big
    As always, you surprise us with your beautiful creations.
