8 Favorite Autumn Tablescapes

August 27, 2020~ Everyday Living, Faith, Tablescape Tuesday

“Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.”
‭‭Philippians‬ ‭4:8‬ ‭

Hello sweet friends. It is Wednesday evening as I am writing this while the states of Louisiana and Texas are bracing for a catastrophic hurricane. I am praying for all those who are in harm’s way. I hope you will join me in praying not only for those impacted by the hurricane, but also for those affected by the wildfires in California. I pray for our nation!

It is my desire to enjoy every moment, every day, and every season, whether the seasons of life or the seasons of nature. I have to admit by the end of August I begin to look forward to autumn. Our summers in the South can be extremely hot and humid. With that in mind, I thought it was the perfect time to revisit some of my favorite autumn tablescapes!

To view the original post, click the highlighted link.

Celebrating harvest time in the garden!

A charcuterie board made from old European barn wood was the base for a simple centerpiece!

What would fall be without pumpkins? A blooming pumpkin takes the spotlight…

…paired with dramatic pumpkin plates!

I love blue and white for autumn…

…or for any season. It is timeless!

Under our old oak tree remains one of my faves!

I should really do another tablescape under the oak. In spite of the time and work, it was fun and worth the effort!

Welcoming autumn with the same plaid tablecloth that I used with the blue and white tablesetting…

…and it looks completely different by simply changing the dinner plates

A box of autumn is filled with flowers and clippings from the garden.

A table setting that is abundant with autumn color!

Repurposing a shawl as a tablecloth was a great way to welcome October, my favorite month!

A dough bowl filled with pumpkins and used as a centerpiece makes it easy for the hostess.

Using the box again for a simple autumn arrangement, this table was set up for appetizers in the garden.

Cold apple cider and a cheese tray were presented on an antique quilt! I love using vintage, antiques, or things with memories attached!

Are you ready for autumn, or still embracing the last days of summer? Wishing everyone a joy-filled day.

    What a beautiful round up of autumn tables Pam! ‘Under the Oak Tree’ is still my favorite of all your fall tables! It has been so hot and humid here that I can’t even entertain the thought of setting a table outdoors. Fall can’t get here quick enough for me. 🙂
    Keeping all of those in the path of the hurricane in our thoughts and prayers. Happy Thursday ♥

    Pam, each one is so pretty it is hard to select a winner. However, I am partial to the one under the oak and the one with the lovely quilt.

    I, too, pray for all those whose lives are in danger from the hurricane. These are scary times when one resides along the coast. And, the wildfires are so freighting as well.

    This has been an extremely hot summer here in West Virginia, I am looking forward to cooler temperatures and our beautiful hills wearing her best dress. Wishing you a beautiful day and weekend ahead, dear friend.❤

    A virtual visual Autumn feast ..each a masterpiece of creativity and placement. Joining with others in prayer for those in the
    path of storms or fire … also for those brave souls in the acts of protecting, recovering and restoring. Soon the heat of Summer will dissipate and we can relish the crisp, cool air of autumn at the pumpkin farm. In the meantime, may the Lord
    hold all in His gentle embrace this day.

Between Covid19 and natural disasters it’s been a stressful year but with God’s promises we are reassured that He’s in control. Hope you don’t have tornadoes or flooding from the hurricane. We’re gearing up for the remnants to pass Friday and Saturday. Have a wonderful rest of the day! Clara ♥️

    I love fall colors! Fall welcomes in winter!! I do not like winter. I have a confession, I love table settings, but was feeling sad because we now have a small place and don’t do the big dinners. Well, then I had a wake up moment, I only need to take a small portion of your design to re-create the setting.

    We almost wish for the early days of autumn when we see your beautiful tablescapes in beautiful settings. You have inspired us to start thinking colors, dinnerware, centerpieces, and to start planning gatherings in the next few months. Let’s give summer a big send-off first I guess, and hope for some cooler, tranquil summer days before the crispness of autumn sets in. Let’s enjoy looking forward to the change and variety of seasons! It’s a miracle waiting to happen.

    I hope it cools down for you soon. I live in CA and though not directly impacted by the fires, have been living with extreme heat and smoky air. I can’t wait for autumn and a little bit of relief. Praying for the people in harm’s way of the hurricanes. They have been through Katrina and now this one.

Happy Wednesday! My favorite place to set a summer Happy Wednesday! My favorite place to set a summer table is in my garden. I decided the table should be simple to allow the hydrangeas to be the star! I always love sharing a ‘special something’ on a table setting that is sentimental and has wonderful memories attached like the majolica pitcher that belonged to my beloved Mother. A beautiful blue and white tablecloth by @april.cornell for @victoriamagazine was a surprise from my sweet husband and also included the ‘blue roses’ tea set which was a part of the limited edition when it was first introduced a few years ago. The Sur La Table floral-patterned earthenware was inspired by London’s Chelsea Flower Show in collaboration with artist, April Cornell. Vintage hobnail milk glass stemware was purchased at the Longest Yard Sale. Sometimes I just enjoy a simple table! 

I joined 16 table stylists for a summer tablescape blog hop. Click the link in the bio to see all of the summer tables!

Wishing you a joy-filled day!

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.

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.

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!

“May the raindrops fall lightly on your brow.
 May the soft winds freshen your spirit.
 May the sunshine brighten your heart.
 May the burdens of the day rest lightly 
 upon you.
 And may God enfold you in His love.”

Happy Monday! With March bringing the promise of s Happy Monday! 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! 

It is Monday Morning Blooms with friends Lidy @frenchgardenhouse Shannon @bellebleuinteriors and Mary homeiswheretheboatis.net

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. 

I have joined 17 table stylists for a Valentine’s Day Blog Hop. Click the LINK in my bio to see all of the Valentine inspiration!
