“Keep your tongue from evil and your lips from speaking deceit.”
Psalms 34:13
Hello dear friends! Can you believe we will be saying goodbye to October this week? I am always a little melancholy to see my favorite month slip away. But, I do look forward to Thanksgiving, a holiday filled with family, food, and hearts overflowing with the knowledge of God’s abundant gifts!
“In the entire circle of the year there are no days so delightful as those of a fine October.”
-Alexander Smith
Blue-and-white is classic! It works for every season, even autumn!
I love pairing it with this plaid tablecloth in autumnal hues of rust and gold!
It was a gorgeous autumn afternoon last Thursday when I set the garden table. I am not sure how many more opportunities there will be for alfresco dinners!
Spode “blue room” dinner plates are paired with American Atelier ‘baroque” chargers!
Vintage napkins from a trip to Highlands, NC…napkin rings from a trip to Fairhope, AL…hammered stainless steel flatware from a trip to Walmart…and stemware that I am most often asked where it can be purchased. Unfortunately it was discontinued several years ago.
Small branches from Japanese maples, crepe myrtle, sumac, and beautyberry were cut by my Renaissance Man for an easy seasonal centerpiece!
“I see the turning of a leaf dancing in an autumn sun, and brilliant shades of crimson glowing when the day is done.”
-Hazelmarie Elliott
My artistic attempt of a floating table…not really trying, but that is how it appears!
Thank you for your sweet visits and gracious comments! Wishing you a most wonderful day!

Pam, your table is beautiful. I love blue and white any time. And, I always set our Thanksgiving table with our Spode, Blue Tower. I especially love your centerpiece, it is lovely and perfect for your table.
Wishing you a beautiful week, dear friend.
Thank you Sandra. This is an easy centerpiece. Butch cut it and placed in the vase!
Very pretty. Love the blue Spode dishes mixed with the autumn accents. The fall branches look fabulous in the blue and white vase!
Thank you dear Liz for your sweet comments!
So very charming Pam. Love the blue and white and I am somewhat partial to those colors when it comes to dishes. You always do such lovely settings. I have learned so much from you dear Pam. Hugs and blessings, Cindy
Cindy, you are a sweetheart! Thank you and blessings.
Beautiful, as always, Pam! I never tire of blue and white. I agree it goes with everything. The autumn branches in the chinoiserie vase make such a stunning centerpiece. Enjoy these last days of October, sweet friend!
We both have a love of blue and white! Have a wonderful day sweet friend!
I love blue and white and when you add a pop of orange it is even better! Beautiful table.
We both love blue and white, thanks Penny!

Pam, your table is gorgeous. I love the contrast of blue with orange. The gardens look fabulous with this tablescape. The vase looks fabulous with those autumn branches. Thank you for your sweet visit.
Thank you Linda, I certainly hope you have power today!
I really do love how the blue and orange set each other off so well. This is a pretty table any time of year but especially now.
Thanks so much Jeanie!
Pam, you do the best job I’ve ever seen using what you have in a different way. Love the natural loose arrangement. Butch picked well.
Thanks Bonnie, I try to use what I have. I certainly don’t need any more dishes!
Beautiful tablescape and I love anything blue.

Beautiful Pam! I love your blue and white paired with October’s finest hues! Your fall foliage makes a perfect and simple centerpiece. We had a gorgeous day Monday here in NC (if a bit warm). I’ll be sorry to say goodbye to my favorite month too. Happy Wednesday ♥
Thank you Mary. We are catching up on the rain over the past week!
Another stunning table in your garden! I love your arrangement of fall branches in the blue and white vase, the colors are wonderful and orange and blue always makes a statement! I am especially enjoying viewing this scene on this dark and rainy morning! I too am sad to say goodbye to October, one of my favorite months too! Stay dry today and thanks for the sunshine from your garden 🙂

Thank you Jenna! It is a rainy and dark morning, but we were dry so long I am glad to get it. Enjoy your day!
Blue and white will always be elegant….I am still collecting Mottahedah of sweet memory.
This pairing with the rust/orange hues is striking and the arrangement so natural and true.
What a lovely day that must have been create your farewell Autumn tablescape.
My dining room and dishes have lots of blue and I’m inspired to throw in some orange now!
Thank you dear Michele. Throw in the orange!
Beautiful tablescape! And beautiful verse from Psalms.
Thank you Becca!
I love the blue dishes on the orange check tablecloth. Very pretty.

Pam , as always a beautiful table. Love the blue and orange together. Forgot to make a comment on Monday but the picture of your granddaughters driving down the trail to your house was adorable. Made me smile. They are so precious and what a blessing to have them nearby. Cherry
Thanks so much for your sweet comments, Cherry. Happy Labor Day Weekend!
