Pumpkins and Pheasants

Well, the weather here is dreary, so I need a pretty table full of fall goodies to brighten things up! What are a few of my favorite Fall things? Pumpkins and Pheasants!

I started with an Ivory tablecloth and gold chargers. I added a runner full of appliqued pumpkins from Big Lots that I bought a few years ago.

I used my Spode Woodland Pheasant plates, green goblets (from Target several years back) and dark gold napkins with a pumpkin napkin ring and pumpkin place card holders (also from Target in years past).

For my centerpiece, I used a beaded placemat (TJ Maxx) with a ceramic pumpkin elevated on a small glass cake stand.

Of course, I scattered a few autumnal colored acrylic jewels around the centerpiece!

On my mantle, I have pumpkins and turkeys (not pheasants), but it's all autumnal!

On a side note, I go this teapot and creamer a few years ago at TJ Maxx. There was no sugar bowl, but I figured I could find one some day. Well, it took a few years, but one finally popped up on eBay a few weeks ago!!! Pepper Tree Tea Wares is the only marking on the bottom. I love the Fally look of this tea set!

Pheasant Fest!

After an unplanned blogging break, I am ready to show you my newest Fall tablescape, that I am calling Pheasant Fest!

I started with off white table cloth which I layered with my paper runner. I got this years ago at Civil-La-Tea in Gettysburg and I still love it. It has Chinese lantern plants all over it.

At each place, I started with a wooden charger which I topped with Spode Woodland with the Pheasant. I used green and pewter goblets and a bronze colored napkin with a coppery leaf napkin ring. And I added a little gourd-covered goodie bag and each place also.

For my centerpiece, I used a mini cake plate to elevate my Fitz and Floyd Pheasant teapot and surrounded it with a silk leaf garland and scattered some glass pine cone ornaments around.

I added Fitz and Floyd Pheasant candleholders with Indian Corn candles to light the table and some Bobwhite salt and pepper shakers, also from Fitz and Floyd.

Over at the tea cart, I have a cornucopia tea set and pumpkin tea towel to add to the Fall mood.

And on the mantle, Turkey sit among Chinese Lantern Plants and bittersweet branches.

On the Hanging Shelf, more turkey have gathered to celebrate the autumnal season.

I will be linking to Tablescape Thursday at Between Naps on the Porch.

Pheasantly Surprised!

Another Fall Tablescape for Tablescape Thursday at Between Naps on the Porch!


You may remember that I had the Spode Woodland Turkey plates, but I had to get the Pheasant ones also! And  at my TJ Maxx this weekend I found this wonderful beaded runner. So a new tablescape was born!



I should have put one of my pheasants as the centerpiece instead of the turkey - oh well, maybe next time!

I found these chargers at WalMart earlier this season. Here is what they look like without a plate:



With the plate:



The whole place setting



Here is a closeup of some cornucopia salt and pepper shakers I got from Cracker Barrel last year.



Hope you all visit Susan at Between Naps on the Porch for lots of wonderful tables!
