Tablescape Thursday

Although we've been having such incredibly hot weather, and the heat continues, It's five in the afternoon right now and it's 96 degrees fahrenheit!, we still wanted to celebrate the seasons soon coming our way. Bright colors of summer are a thing of the past.

I prepared a special dinner to mark the occasion, saying goodbye to summer and welcoming the coming seasons and holidays. There's nothing more inviting than a beautiful table with the colors of Fall and the smell of a fine home cooked meal and fresh baked bread, oh yeah!

The dinner plate set is from Marshall's and the table cloth from Macy's, Chris Madden, on clearance, HELLO CLEARANCE!  I love it when I find pretty things on clearance, don't you?  I placed red chargers underneath for a pop of color.

Speaking of chargers, there is a very nice lady in blogland who helped me find some really cool chargers on the internet.  She is the author of Entertaining Women, a fun website dedicated to beautiful tablescapes.  I mentioned to her the trouble I had finding chargers that I liked and that went well with my dishes.  After looking at my sets, she returned with a list of really cool chargers she found on the internet.  Is she awesome or what!!!

When you visit her, be sure to check out a video recorded by the Crop Hunger Walk Project, on her sidebar.  Her daughter wrote the song and is seen in the video singing it.  The song, Raise Your Voice, has become their anthem and the video is BEAUTIFUL, not to mention her beautiful voice.  

Back to my table, here's a view from above:

 A little red bubbly wine for me the adults, kept chilled in a pretty vase I got from a neighbor:

This pretty candelabra reminds me of Lumiere, from Beauty and the Beast.  I got it a Goodwill for $4 and it gives my table a little elegance.

I used ribbon down the center of the table.  I got the ribbon at the Dollar store:

Hope you enjoyed your visit!

Susan, at Between Naps On The Porch, is hosting a linky party on Thursday, so head on over for some more tablescape from fellow bloggers.
