Happy Tuesday dear friends! I hope you are having a wonderful autumn week so far. We finally have cooler temperatures that feel like fall and I am loving it! It was pure pleasure to set up this tablescape in the garden late Saturday afternoon with a fall breeze blowing and low humidity!

After Saturday morning brunch with a precious friend, I made a quick dash to TJ Maxx and of course, I found something. This lovely plaid tablecloth (at a ridiculously low price) just jumped into my cart.
The dough bowl is a special hand-made gift from a dear friend of our family that passed away several years ago. He made it for my Mother and I cherish it and the sweet memories that go along with it.
Vintage napkins that are perfect for a fall tabletop!
I gathered pumpkins, seed pods, and dried sunflowers to fill the bowl. I love a centerpiece that is made with what I have on hand and easy to assemble…the no fuss kind!
I was smitten when I saw these Williams Sonoma Harvest Pumpkin salad plates with their brown/black background and vibrant pumpkins and fruit. I tried to talk myself out of them, but with a 25% off sale it was a no brainer. There are four different patterns…this one is a white Cinderella pumpkin with apples…
…a striped pumpkin with pears…
…a pumpkin with mini pumpkins…
..and my favorite one with figs! I purchased these for my Thanksgiving table, but I had to go ahead and use them! I already have many sets of dishes, so I normally just purchase salad plates which are less expensive and take up less storage space.

The amber stemware graces many fall tables. It was purchased years ago at a local department store in a box set of 12 and do I ever miss that wonderful store that closed its doors!

The dinner plates are “baroque” by American Atelier and they are still available at Horchow.

Thank you sweet friends for all of your visits and comments! Wishing y’all a beauty-filled autumn day!

Beautiful autumn table Pam. Love those WS dishes. I’ve been eyeing them but haven’t made the purchase yet. I especially enjoyed the center arrangement- that dried sunflower really created a great look. The amber stemware is perfect for this time of year. It is sad when these favorite stores close and there have been too many. Have a beautiful week!
Thank you so much Liz. Autumn is my favorite season, Happy Weekend!
Lovely table, Pam!
Thank you Cath!
Just beautiful Pam! I couldn’t resist those WS salad plates either, perfect for fall or Thanksgiving. I love your easy ‘no fuss’ centerpiece and especially the addition of the dried sunflowers. I’m always amazed at affordable price of tablecloths at TJ Maxx and HomeGoods. We had the same wonderful fall weather this past weekend but warmed back up yesterday. Cooler temps are back on the way later in the week, yay 🙂 Look forward to seeing you Friday. ♥
Thank you dear Mary. We are enjoying cooler temps already!
Love the salad plates, but what I love even more is the justification used for buying them, lol. I’m so proud of myself for emptying a tub FULL of dishes a week ago (donated). It leaves room for lots of salad plates. hehe Happy Tablescape Tuesday, Pam!
Forgot to mention how much I love your dough bowl, especially with its special meaning behind it! The arrangement is perfect, love the huge sunflower head and seed pods.
Thank you Rita. I do enjoy an easy centerpiece!
Those of us who are dishaholics will find a way to fee the habit. Lol
Thanksgiving shouldn’t be just one day but everyday. Therefore using the WS salad plates were not used early, to my way of thinking, but rather because it’s a day to give thanks. My foot fetish has turned into a plate fetish because wearing high heels at this age is asking for trouble. There are so many lovely plates to choose from these days but storage has forced me to slow down on getting them. The closet that holds my tablecloths was full also so recently a gave some of them away to my nail tech. She was thankful as she is helping to raise her sons stepchildren and teaching them how to behave at a well dressed table. God bless her and all the people that bring the children to a table to sit and eat with family.
Amen Alice. Thanksgiving is every day. I couldn’t help but laugh about the shoe fetish turning into a plate fetish. We are so similar. I have always loved shoes and wore high heels all my life until about two years ago, and I suddenly felt like I couldn’t walk in them. I am short and I always thought the heels were a plus for me. I guess now I just buy plates instead of shoes!
Pam, You were meant for tablescaping! Again and again you delight us with pretty and creative tables.
Love the heirloom handmade dough bowl and how you styled it.
It is foggy and warm today here. We received a hard downpour last night just as a meeting I helped host was starting. People had to wait in their cars.
Thanks for a lovely post to enjoy this morning.
Thank you dear Bonnie. It rained yesterday off and on. It is definitely cooler and I am glad.
This is such a pretty fall table. Love the plaid tablecloth and that dough bowl filled with such beautiful gourds, pumpkins and pods is stunning.
Thank you so much Marty!
Love, love, love, the table. So very pretty. Love that dough bowl. I have one that has been handed down to me. Story was that my great-grandfather made the dough bowl. My grandmother used for years and then I winded up with it. Love your tablecloth too! Hugs and blessings to you dear Pam. P.S. I ordered the The blessing jar book and it came in yesterday. I am so EXCITED! Hugs and blessings, Cindy
Cindy, it is a sweet little book that you can enjoy with your grands and teaches them about how to see blessings everywhere. Thank you my friend!
I love your fall table! Those WS plates are great and I love the new tablecloth.
Thank you so much Penny!
Oh, Pam – I am truly in love with your table. The dough bowl is absolutely stunning, filled with such gorgeousness. It is perfect on your table. I do know it is a treasure to you. I have a small round one that was my grandmothers, so I do understand the love you have for yours.
One does need to be careful at TJ Maxx. I have had many things just jump in my cart there too. Your tablecloth is so pretty, I know you are happy it found you. Also, your salad plates are wonderful – you will enjoy them for years to come.
Have a lovely week, dear friend. I hope you are starting to see cooler weather. We are to have highs in the mid 50’s this week. Yeah!
Hi Sandra. I love your visits and I am so glad Fall is finally showing up. We have cooler weather also and it is perfect. Thank you sweet friend!
Dear Pam, today you have touched the weak point of my perception of beauty. The tablecloth !!! What a wonder of colors and how simple at the same time …
And I add the uniqueness of the dishes so original and beautiful.
You have a special personal taste that excites me, the combination of this so relaxing and beautiful table makes me happy.
Those white pumpkins are very beautiful, I have never seen any in Spain.
I congratulate you
Dolores
Dolores, me alegro mucho de que te gusten los platos de calabaza. Pensé en ellos durante mucho tiempo antes de comprarlos. Tenemos muchas calabazas blancas y muchas variedades de reliquias que son bastante hermosas. Te deseo un maravilloso día y una semana querida amiga. Aprecio tus dulces sentimientos y aliento. Enviando abrazos, pam
This fall tablescape is just beautiful! The dough bowl is especially pretty with your choice of gords, baby pumpkins and the added dried flowers and seed pods. Your table is always so inviting, happy fall ya’ll!
Happy Fall to you and thanks so much!
Pam, this is so pretty! I have been eyeing those plates, too. I may have to break down and buy them. A couple of tablecloths from TJ Maxx made their way into my cart also last weekend. I’m just as bad about collecting table linens as I am dishes. Your table looks gorgeous and perfect for an alfresco autumn dinner. The traditional colors are just lovely and that sweet dough bowl looks beautiful adorned for fall! Happy Tuesday, sweet friend!
Thank you Shannon. I collect linens as much as I do dishes❤️
This table is really a favorite:those salad plates are fantastic!!!Love the plaid tablecloth too.Cozy and beautiful table,very inviting!Hugs,dear friend.Your blog is always a inspiration…

Marion
Happy Fall and thank you Marion!
LOVE your dough bowl casual centerpiece Pam! Are the dried sunflowers real? I never thought to dry them out, I must try this, they look so great with your pumpkins and snazzy plaid tablecloth, just lovely!
Jenna
Thank you so much Jenna. The dried sunflowers are real and very easy to dry. I should have dried more. Have a wonderful day?
I am going to try this when the sunflowers I currently have in a vase begin to fade, thanks for such a great idea!
What a lovely and adorable table setting. With temperatures still raging at the 90s it is difficult to get in a fall mood! But I still love sitting in my AC home, enjoying the cute pumpkin table setting!
Thank you so much! Hopefully you will soon have more fall like weather.
Beautifully done! I saw the runner in that pattern and almost bought it. I should have. The colors are gorgeous. You did a great job of showcasing the colors and pattern without drowning out the beauty of the other elements on the table.
Hi Alycia. I sure miss you sweet lady. Thank you for dropping by. I hope you are doing well.
This is a table after my own heart. You know I love pumpkins, and when a centerpiece is of the no fuss variety I like it even better. I’m going to look and see if there are any more of those plates.
Thank you Linda, it was certainly a no fuss variety!
Such an interesting way to use pumpkins Pam! We don’t use them here for table decorations…they are just a vegetable for cooking but I love the interesting & inspiring ways you have been using them! 😀
Blessings,
Jennifer
Thank you Jennifer. We use pumpkins here for all kinds of decor. I love pumpkins for cooking, especially pumpkin pie and bread!
We make pumpkin soup & scones…delicious 😀
Lovely as ever. love the pumpkin theme. You always find wonderful things while shopping. The plates are super. I love your take on the centerpiece. So charming and sweet with your garden back drop. Always a pleasure to see your inspiring tablescapes Pam.
Thank you Linda for your sweet visit!
I like your idea of only buying salad plates to use with the dishes you already have…the new ones are perfect for fall entertaining.
Thank you for visiting Karen! Happy Fall?
The pumpkins are perfect and I love everything! Thanks for sharing with SYC.
hugs,
Jann
Always a pleasure to join you!
Oh how lovely that table is! The figs make for a beautiful addition to that pumpkin in those bowls. The amber stemware is pretty. Thank you for sharing. I came over from The Charm of Home blog.
Pam, I love the tablecloth. Amazing how things like that just jump into the cart! Lucky us! The salad plates are a wonderful buy. I buy salad plates, too. They just seem like an easy way to dress up the table. Wonderful Fall Table-scape!
I love your Fall table outdoors with the crispy lovely weather. The plates and the tablecloth are so very pretty.
Your dough bowl is simply adorable, I love mine, I always try to do something with it, Fall and C’mas.
Have a lovely week my friend.
Fabby
So very very beautiful Pam…that tablecloth was certainly a great find….I have always adored those amber goblets and LOVE those salad plates…they will be so loved at your Thanksgiving table….What a very special treasure that you have of your mother’s….it is so great to use things that have such special memories! Have a great day Pam!!!
Thank you dear Shirley. Happy Tuesday!
Such a lovely table in a gorgeous setting! Thanks for sharing at Home Sweet Home!
