Fall Tablescape Blog Hop: A Box Of Autumn

August 28, 2017~ Food & Entertaining, Tablescape Tuesday

“And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Christ Jesus.”  
Philippians 1:6

Happy Monday dear friends, and welcome to a week full of Fall inspired fun!  If you are here for the first time, welcome to my little corner of the blog world otherwise known as Everyday Living!  Today I am joining a group of talented bloggers to bring you a Fall Tablescape Blog Hop hosted by Chloe at Celebrate & Decorate…be sure to scroll all the way down to the bottom to see the full line up!  Since my favorite season is soon approaching, I am so excited to kick this week off in the garden with a box of autumn!

*

Autumn’s colors invite you to the table to stay and linger in celebration of the season!

Spode “woodland” dinner plates are the perfect autumn pattern.  Each plate has a different bird…you’ll see the pheasant on this one. American Atelier “baroque” chargers and tortoise flatware add to each place setting.

What says autumn better than sparkling apple cider in a copper cup?! You’ll also notice stemware in shades of peridot, amethyst, and amber… my go-to for fall!

Feather placemats with their soft texture often grace my autumn tables!

Searching through my table linens, I found this tablecloth I had completely forgotten about.  Am I the only one who does that?

The centerpiece is packed full of flowers and clippings from the garden…sunflowers, hydrangeas, nandina, zinnias, angelonias, and purple fountain grass plumes!  My Renaissance Man arranged it beautifully in a wooden box.  You can see how I have used the box here and here.

Amber napkin rings hold gold linen napkins!

“…I cannot endure to waste anything so precious as autumnal sunshine by staying in the house.  So I have spent almost all the daylight hours in the open air.”  
Nathaniel Hawthorne

 *

Autumn calls for all things pumpkin including Butch’s great-aunt’s pumpkin bread recipe!

A pair of faux antler candle stands seem perfect as deer are constantly in our pasture!

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

“Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower”
Albert Camus

“For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven.”  
Ecclesiastes 
3:1


There are subtle hints that the days of summer are waning and autumn will soon arrive in all of its glory!

 *

I am so grateful for your visits and comments.  It is my hope that you are inspired to set the table and invite family and friends to celebrate the beauty of autumn!

    Such a lovely table in your garden setting nestled among the grasses.I’m glad you found that tablecloth because it has perfect colors for your Spode woodland dishes. Your soft feathery placemats and gold linen napkins are complimented by the most versatile wooden box used as a centerpiece. It is so gratifying I think to be able to pick flowers straight from your garden for your centerpiece. Butch did a great job.
    I am eagerly anticipating fall and its show of autumn color. Love the quote,”Autumn is a second spring where every leaf is a flower.”

    Just beautiful Pam! It’s always a pleasure to have a seat at your table and I love all your autumnal details from your gorgeous tablecloth, Spode Woodland plates, and stunning centerpiece box! The mix of textures, foliage, sunflowers and feathery plumes with the pumpkin candles in your centerpiece definitely are a box of autumn! Your garden is the perfect backdrop for a table no matter what the season!

    Pam, what a lovely way to start my day! So pretty! Fall is also my favorite season. Here in Lilburn GA this morning, it’s cool and windy and a little cloudy. My back door is open and my wind chimes are playing a beautiful symphony. The hummers are filling up and getting fat for their trip south. I will miss them, they have been a source of joy all summer. Thank you for your inspiration!

Everything looks so inviting–I long for a sip of a cold drink and a taste of bread. And what a joy to dine in your garden. It is so gorgeous!

We often think alike, because I love using our wooden box, my hubby made. Copper is so in this year, so I am loving that look. The pumpkin bread is perfect. Love visiting to see what you have created. A joy to join you in this fall tablescape blog hop.

    I absolutel LOVE your feather placemats and all of your autumn touches. Apple cider and pumpkin bread are some of the things I look forward to most when Fall arrives. Your setting made me feel not so sad about summer leaving us! Beautiful job!

    Oh Pam! I always have to scroll through twice to see and read your posts. Once to see the view and the next to see the actual table. Your table had me scrolling back up to take a second peek as usual. It’s just beautiful!

    Oh, so pretty and very representative of this season I adore! Yes, I’ve forgotten a time or two that I have a certain piece until I see it there on the pages of my home decor catalog! (I created that computer catalog about 10 years ago to keep up with everything. Old age plus sheer volume…no way I can remember everything!!!) Your tablecloth has a cheerful feel to it with those meandering fall-colored vines. Just perfect to welcome the season! You’ve included such detail in your presentation…something I truly appreciate and admire. From the rustic nature of the floral box to the rockin’ Spode to the cider in those fabulous copper mugs…just so pretty in a gorgeous setting! VERY nicely done!!! Have a good weekend, and happy creating!!!

Happy Tuesday, I invite you to join me for Tea on Happy Tuesday, I invite you to join me for Tea on Tuesdays! A 🍓strawberry🍓 themed tea was set under the arbor where the Lady Banks roses have climbed up and over. The roses bloomed in early spring and they were gorgeous, but now they provide a green canopy of shade, perfect for afternoon tea! A delicious strawberry and vanilla green tea is served along with strawberry trifles in vintage ice cream sundae glasses. Precious memories are always shared with my tables!

Sarah Bernhardt was relocated last year and gave us some gorgeous blooms in spite of being moved. Several Spirea are in bloom as well as Clematis Jackmanii! What is blooming in your garden?

Mother had the gift of hospitality and shared it with everyone. Karl Rosenfield peonies from my garden fill a treasured keepsake pitcher handed down from my grandmother! A beautiful floral April Cornell ‘Lillianna’ tablecloth and Famille Rose salad plates elevate the status of the old picnic table next to our woodlands. I have collected bejeweled enamel trinket boxes for many years and shared a few on the table for whimsy and fun. For memories of my Mother, click the link in my profile.

With glorious weather, the table next to our woodl With glorious weather, the table next to our woodlands was perfect for teatime! It is Tea on Tuesdays with blogging friends Mary and Kitty. The table is enhanced by views toward the mountain, woodlands, and the large Snowball Viburnum. The verdant rye grass appears as a green carpet that has been spread for Easter! Vintage Fitz and Floyd ‘Herb Garden’ teapots, sugar and creamer, and oval tray are suited for springtime with their embossed bows, vegetables, and words. A bouquet of Kwanzan Cherry blossoms add more spring color to the setting. 

I am serving a simple teatime with Earl Grey tea, savory egg salad filled phyllo cups, and sweet vanilla cupcakes with cream cheese icing, and macarons! A favorite cottage rose tablecloth and Essential napkins are by April Cornell.

We are most blessed to celebrate the resurrection of Christ, being the source of new life, yet new life that is eternal. The beauty of this spring will again give way to another autumn in a few months, but the significance of His empty tomb will never change! Wishing you a blessed Holy Week ✝️ Click the link in my bio to view the blog!

Happy Thursday! I love setting a table next to our Happy Thursday! I love setting a table next to our woodlands and this is the first one of the season, an Easter/Spring table! I love all the sweet bunny decorations, but Easter is so much more. We celebrate Easter because of the resurrection of Jesus Christ.  His bodily resurrection enables all those who choose to follow Him to have assured victory over our greatest enemy…death!

 I look forward each year when some of my favorite blooms display their amazing beauty in our garden. Snowball viburnum in its full glory with large creamy white blooms. Climbing Lady Banks Rose is covered in hundreds of miniature yellow blooms cascading to the ground. An old-fashioned Bridal Wreath Spirea with its branches arching to the ground in a fountain-like growth habit is loaded with showy double white flowers in clusters of three to six that resemble a bride’s wreath. I still claim the Kwanzan Cherry tree even though it is now on our son’s property. Its ruffled pink double pink blossoms are some of my favorite blooms. All four of these blooms make up an arrangement with a few tulips from the grocery store. 

A fluffle of moss bunnies hopped up to the picnic table. A ‘Charming’ tablecloth with  Mary Lake-Thompson napkins and Williams Sonoma enchanting ‘Famille Rose’ bunny plates!

I often shared my sweet Daddy and his stories on m I often shared my sweet Daddy and his stories on my blog. My precious Daddy passed away peacefully on March 26th at the age of 94, surrounded by his beloved family! He was born during the depths of the Great Depression. That may have been part of the reason he was always content and loved the simple things. 

“A good name is to be chosen rather than great riches, and favor is better than silver or gold.” Proverbs 22:1

After high school graduation he signed to play professional baseball with the Cleveland Indians Organization. His baseball career was cut short when he was drafted in the army. He was seriously wounded in the Korean War and was awarded a Purple Heart and two bronze stars. Upon returning home, he married my beautiful Mother and they shared 54 wonderful years together before she passed away suddenly. 

My brother and I grew up in a Christian home, bathed in love, calm, security, and contentment, under the care of the two finest parents anyone could have. Daddy was known as Pawpaw to his three grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren. 

My heart is broken, he was the best Daddy a girl could have. I know he is present with the Lord and I rejoice in that promise, knowing too, that my Mother is also in the eternal presence of our Heavenly Father. 

For more of my Daddy’s story, click the link in my bio.

Welcome to Sunshine Cottage and the March edition Welcome to Sunshine Cottage and the March edition of Tea on Tuesdays. My inspiration for teatime is the beautiful linens from @april.cornell With the celebration of their 50th anniversary, many Heritage Prints from the archives have returned. Eden is one of the beautiful patterns that has returned. It is a soft purple paradise where butterflies float, roses bloom, and soft sage leaves levitate. As an April Cornell Brand Ambassador, I was gifted these gorgeous linens! I have been a collector of @april.cornell linens for many years…the floral patterns resonate with my love of English Country. 

I am serving my favorite, Earl Gray tea, from an Eileen’s Reserve teapot. Teacups by Grace Teaware and vintage Rose Chintz salad plates by Johnson Brothers add more floral patterns to the mix. Japanese Magnolia blooms were cut from my garden and placed in a lilypad teapot!

With March bringing the promise of spring and looking forward to our garden awakening, I planted a blooming bulb garden in my Sunshine Cottage! The butcher block countertop under a window, was a perfect place for a mini garden. Muscari, hyacinths, tulips, and daffodils danced in the sunlight and filled the cottage with an amazing fragrance!

Happy Tuesday! Welcome to the Sunshine Cottage whe Happy Tuesday! Welcome to the Sunshine Cottage where it is warm and cozy on this cold February day. It is Tea on Tuesdays and I have set a tea table with the “Blue Roses” collection that was a collaboration between @victoriamagazine and @april.cornell The exclusive porcelain pattern and matching linens have been used many times and I still enjoy their blue and white beauty. Instead of fresh flowers, porcelain ones require no arranging. Sweet treats pair perfectly with a traditional English Breakfast tea. I am joining friends Sarah @sjpa48 and Mary homeiswheretheboatis.net

Happy first Monday of February! After so many cold Happy first Monday of February! After so many cold days, we are experiencing a tease of spring with a 73 degree day that is forecast. After the gray and cloudy days, I needed a dose of color and decided to set a colorful citrus themed brunch! Using a bird gold and pewter stand, I mixed a citrus medley of lemons, oranges, and limes with pink and white carnations as the centerpiece. The table is highlighted with blue and white dishware. Fresh squeezed orange juice, French-pressed coffee and sweet treats of lemon poppyseed muffins, lemon cake with lemon icing, and lemon pastries are perfect for a small brunch. A faux lemon topiary belonged to my beloved Mother and seemed a perfect addition to a citrus-themed table!

Welcome to Sunshine Cottage where I have been fluf Welcome to Sunshine Cottage where I have been fluffing for Valentine’s Day! For many years my Sweetheart and I have celebrated February 14th at home where it is quiet, no reservations are required, and we always have a table by the window! 

I love the traditional colors of red and pink! Frilly carnations fill a vintage Staffordshire, ‘Charlotte’ pitcher which rests on an antique Limoges plate with a velvet gold-crowned heart. The plate stack consists of a Royal Stafford ‘Asiatic pheasant’ dinner plate, American Atelier ‘Baroque’ luncheon/salad plate, Johnson Brothers, ‘Winchester’ salad plate, and a vintage pierced Bavarian rose plate! I am a huge fan of mixing colors, patterns, and textures for a collected look.

Happy Tuesday! On this very cold winter’s day, I Happy Tuesday! On this very cold winter’s day, I am serving my favorite tea, Earl Grey, in the Sunshine Cottage where it is warm and cozy! The magic of dancing sunlight enhances the table that is dressed with a warm tartan plaid throw repurposed as a tablecloth! ‘Winter Fauna’ bird salad plates from Pottery Barn (many years ago and now discontinued) remind me of the birds I watch from my kitchen window during the winter season. The Grace Teaware set adds more blue and white to the Spode ‘Blue Room’ dinner plates. Sweet treats were placed on a stack of Bordallo Pinheiro plates! A darling Hummel ‘Icy Adventure’ depicts a scene of an outdoor frozen pond with a pair of sweet ice skaters, a rosy cheeked boy and girl who have fallen down on the ice. I am sharing Tea on Tuesdays with Shannon @bellebleuinteriors and Mary homeiswheretheboatis.net Link in my Bio will take you to my blog post! Stay warm and safe!
