Tablescape Tuesday: Bountiful Autumn!

~ Autumn, Food & Entertaining, Tablescape Tuesday

 “For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.”
‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭2:10‬

Hello dear friends…as always, I am so thrilled that you are here in my little corner of the blog world!  If you haven’t caught on yet, I love the outdoors!!  We have spent every Tablescape Tuesday outside since mid spring!  As I have said before, autumn is my favorite time for alfresco dining…it’s just perfection! With the coolest weather of the season expected the latter part of the week, Tablescape Tuesday comes to you once again from the great outdoors.  Please pull up a chair and join me for this week’s tablescape…Bountiful Autumn!

   Taking my inspiration from the Italian-made linen tablecloth, I pulled out several autumnal colors for this tablescape!

Tablescape Tuesday: A Happy Harvest

~ Autumn, Food & Entertaining, Tablescape Tuesday

“Know this, my beloved brothers: let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger;”
‭‭James‬ ‭1:19‬ ‭

Happy Tuesday dear friends!  We just returned late last night from a wonderful 5 day trip to Aspen, and I will give you a hint of why we were there…it truly was music to our ears!  But that is for a different post…stay tuned!

If you have been around Everyday Living for the past few months, you’ve noticed that on Tuesdays we have been outside.  I love tablescaping in the garden or on the patio…because God’s creation is the perfect backdrop for an alfresco setting!  Since the cooler weather is now upon us, we will soon find ourselves inside…but not just yet!  I am enjoying it as long as I can!  This week’s tablescape is brought to you by my April Cornell tablecloth that I had nearly forgotten about until I saw it in Southern Lady magazine. I searched though my linens and pulled out the cheerful blue and green paisley print for a non-traditional fall table!  I always like to use something a little different!  Grab your sweater and join me on the patio for A Happy Harvest!

I brought out the blue from the tablecloth with napkins and stemware!  The green shows up in salad plates and candles!
