A SIMPLE FALL TABLE SETTING

Hello everyone!  I hope you're all having a nice week so far.

Today I thought I would share a simple fall table setting with you.  As usual, around this time

of year, I get very inspired by all of the pretty table settings in magazines and in Blogland that I

actually begin to think that I too can do this.  Ideas begin to roll around in my head, and then I

just can't fight the urge to give it a go.  Of course, it didn't turn out all that I wanted it to be,

but I thought I would share it with you guys anyways... what the heck.

I wanted to get some of the yellow-colored fall leaves from my yard to tuck into the twine around

the napkins, but I was running out of time before I had to go pick up my kids from school.  My
youngest gets out of school an hour early all week because of parent teacher conferences, so
fitting a blog post like this into my day isn't easy.

And if that wasn't enough, my batteries died on me before I was done taking all the

pictures I wanted to take, so this is all I was able to get.  I didn't have anymore batteries,

and I didn't have time to run to the store.  Living in the country definitely has its faults.

Everything here is very simple.  I used a couple of antique white ironstone beer bottles for

candle holders and tied "Merci" tags on each one.  I used vintage music sheets as place mats,

tucked the silverware into the simple white linen napkins and tied each one with twine. 

I wanted to keep everything white on white, so that the pretty Cinderella pumpkin would

add a pop of color, but I do wish I had the time to place those fall leaves in the napkin 

bundles.

  So there you have it... my unfinished attempt at creating an inspiring fall table setting... lol.

Linking to these fun and inspiring parties:
White Wednesday
Vintage Inspiration Friday

Feathered Nest Friday

On an entirely different note, I'm considering creating a "Tag Sale" page, so I have a venue
to sell some of the things I no longer have room for in my home.  These would be things that

I love and adore and would use in my own home, if only I still had the space for them.  You
all know how it goes... in with the new old thing and out with the old old thing.  I'll keep
you all posted if I decide to follow through with it.

Also, thanks for all of your lovely comments.  I've enjoyed hearing all of your thoughts and

ideas again.

I hope the rest of your week is wonderful!

'Til next time...
