Harvest Kickstart!

Why did I title this post Harvest Kickstart? Because, I haven't created a tablescape in many weeks, and this one almost didn't happen. I don't know if I needed a Red Bull or what, but this tablescape was going SO slow! I should be was committed to doing it outdoors, and the weather was iffy all week. Anyway, it took me awhile to get back in the swing of things, so "kickstart" is just a nicer way of saying kick in the a**.

I (really) hope you enjoy!!!



Last week I was complaining how early the pumpkins were in stores and this week I bought one. Can you say "hypocrite"?

Yes, the filler in this mason jar is what you think it is.

When you have ten million little tomatoes, you get real creative! I'm wearing a necklace made from them.

I was so excited when I heard this month's challenge would be "Harvest". Months ago, I found these cute little pots at Goodwill for $1.49 each.

I bought one of each vegetable! Aren't they adorable?

Nothing says fall like sunflowers!

Quick story--I bought these napkins last spring at Tuesday Morning, but they only had two. I checked their other stores and no luck. Last week I found the matching tablecloth at Burlington Coat Factory. I bought it, thinking I would cut it down to a square and make two napkins from the leftover fabric. What I didn't know was the pattern was only on the border, so I had to cut out the middle of it. Next time, I am taking the item I'm considering OUT of the package in the store. If it isn't what I want, I'll just stuff it back in the package inside out like everybody else does. Just kidding. I'm too OCD to do that.

All dishes and glasses, salt & pepper shakers,

and metal pedestal bowl came from Goodwill

Placemats are from World Market

Flatware from SteinMart

Vera tablecloth from BCF

Some of the napkins are from (never mind, let's not relive that)

Mason jars are from my magic basement

The Season Gone Wild!

Welcome to my third Tablescape Thursday! Thank you to Susan, of Between Naps On The Porch for hosting this fun party! Even though we are still warm here in Colorado, the leaves are changing and the nights cool down.

I gave this the title "The Season Gone Wild!" because of my centerpiece. I really love to create something that looks like it was just gathered and stuffed in a pot.

This time I set my dining room table. I had to put our crazy cat, Eddie, in my office. Otherwise he would have found a way of breaking everything on this table!

I just fell in love with these little plates!

Another piece I feel lucky to have found!

I'm thinking I got a good deal!

I bought these at JoAnn's. I thought they were plastic, but when I opened the package I found out they were ceramic!

I thought these were so cute from Tuesday Morning. I decided to go with the green ones, just to be different!

The loose leaves came from Dollar Tree, and I think they just add to my season gone wild!
