10 Autumn Tablescapes

August 30, 2022~ Autumn, Fall, Flowers, Food & Entertaining, Gardening, Tablescapes

Happy Tuesday, sweet friends. Can you believe that August is coming to a close tomorrow? My favorite season will officially begin September 22. However, I start celebrating early!

“It is the Lord who goes before you. He will be with you; he will not leave you or forsake you. Do not fear or be dismayed.””
‭‭Deuteronomy‬ ‭31:8‬ ‭

With all things autumn on my mind, I am sharing ten fall tablescapes to hopefully inspire you for the upcoming season!

Click the highlighted links to view the original posts.

Fall is my favorite color! I love its warm palette of brilliant oranges, golden yellows, rusty reds, and chestnut browns.

My tablescapes often have elements with memories attached. The very old stoneware pitcher belonged to my paternal grandmother!

A garden table is ideal to welcome autumn!

The saffron-colored cloth is a French made tapestry that was given to me by a precious friend. Wicker chargers provide texture for vintage Johnson Brothers “harvest time” dinnerware!

A blooming pumpkin is the perfect centerpiece for a fall table and is not as difficult to make as it might appear.

Williams Sonoma pumpkin still life salad plates and pumpkin tablecloth were used to further enhance the pumpkin theme!

Easing into autumn with a transitional table that could just as easily be a farewell to summer!

I was smitten back in 2003 when I first saw the Tracy Porter hand painted dinnerware in a Horchow catalog. I didn’t waste time ordering eight place settings.

A box of autumn remains one of my favorite tablesettings. Cold apple cider served in copper mugs helps to keep the warm temperatures at bay!

The floral tablecloth blends well with Spode “woodland” dinner plates and feather placemats!

A warm throw used as a table covering provides a charming ambiance for a cozy autumn table!

I love the mix of patterns with floral placemats, plaid chargers, and Spode dinner plates. A copper pitcher holds a bouquet of summer to fall flowers…sunflowers, dahlias, celosia, and zinnias!

Blue and white is timeless and works anytime, anyplace…

…I love to mix it with other colors like orange!

Glorious October afternoons encourage spending time in the garden…especially for a shared meal!

“There is a wealth to September with its bounty of saffron blooms and golden light and flaxen grasses. Its gifts for the taking – for those who know true riches.”
~Greta Crank

With a perfect blend of gorgeous light, bold colors, distinct smells, rustic texture, the table strikes a chord of autumn harmony!

There are no fresh flowers, nor any real pumpkins, yet the table easily speaks of autumn with ceramic pumpkins and faux fall stems!

Vintage pumpkin-colored placemats and napkins offer a feeling of warmth!

RM foraged the woodlands and creek banks for wildflowers. He never does anything halfway. His Arctic Cat was filled with goldenrod, wild sunflowers, daisies, asters, summer cedar, fox tail, and maple leaves. I love this kind of arrangement that is wild and free!

I invite you to join me a week from today, September 6, for a Welcome Fall Tablescape Blog Hop featuring twenty table stylists!

Thank you for your visit and gracious comments. Wishing you a joy-filled day!

Thanks for sharing your beautiful tablescapes. God bless you and RM as you continue to glorify Him together through your wonderful blog posts.

    I love all your tablescapes Pam and your Fall collection is no exception. So inspiring! I need to revisit a few of my older Fall tablescapes for a bit more inspiration of my own. LOL… I sometimes forget what I have and haven’t used previously.
    I don’t like to see the summer end, but I do enjoy the Fall and Autumn colors, the weather, the smells, the apples and pumpkins and well, just about everything to do with September and October. Thanks for the memories of your lovely tables.
    Blessings Always

    Whew! That’s a lot of tables. I appreciate all the thought and work put into each of them. RM will need to build a structure just to hold your decorations, China, crystal and beautiful table cloths. When are you going to write a book? You have everything you need for a best seller. Beautiful photography and RM to forge on his Artic Cat. Best wishes for the best of weeks.

    In tablescape #1 you use amber glasses. Any idea where you purchased them? I have been looking for these for a long time to increase the number I now own. I believe I purchased mine at World Market when they carried lots of tablescaping items.

      Thanks so much, Taunya. I wish I could tell you that I have great organizational skills, but I don’t. I do try to keep all of my seasonal elements together. Unfortunately, I spend too much time hunting for one particular missing item that I want to use. Organization has never been my strong point. I do have large bins that I store seasonal items. Each one is marked with what is inside.

    Pam, this post is a feast for the eyes. So much autumn gorgeousness to be seen. I am so ready for fall to arrive. I look forward to seeing your beautiful fall table next week. Unfortunately, I am going to have to sit this one out. Our entire household has been sick with Covid since the end of July. Most of us came down with secondary infections. It has been a continual cycle of people being sick. Fingers crossed we all seem to finally be on the mend. Hopefully, I will be able to join the next hop. I always have so much fun. Take care, dear friend, and have a most beautiful day!

    Seeing the condensation on the outside of the copper mug took me way back to my childhood. Do you remember the multi-colored copper drinking “glasses?” My oldest sister had a set of them, and when I saw your mug, my mind went straight back to them. Isn’t it funny how a picture can do that? I love all your tablescapes and it is truly amazing how you can create so many different themes and color arrangements! I especially loved the blue and white with the orange. I would never have thought to combine those colors. It is just a joy to come and see all you have done over the years. God bless you!

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!

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.

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.

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!

 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!

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!
