A scene from Southern Vermont yesterday~
and the tabletop today!
I've been admiring these tall grasses on my walk home from the subway station each day. From time to time I see other walkers harvesting a few stalks, and today was my turn. Two kitties were very excited when I brought these plumes into the house this evening. Can you see an eager face in this shot?
The Simon Pearce vase is paired with a vintage cornucopia from Goodwill. I've seen this shape attributed to several manufacturers, but I think this one was made by a crafter at a ceramics workshop given the initials and the date on the bottom. The glaze may have crazed over the years, but that just makes it a better match for the crackle glaze on the vase. The ceramic gourds are from Pier One last year.
The placesettings feature Fiesta square dinnerware in chocolate and shamrock with lemongrass lunch plates, Mexican wine glasses, Bakelite flatware and contemporary napkins with Pottery Barn leaf napkin rings.
Thanks for visting this tabletop harvest! I'm also sharing this tabletop for Tablescape Thursday at Between Naps on the Porch.
Oh! I'm in love with that tablecloth! Was that a Camp Brimfield find and I didn't wrestle it out of your hands? Very great match to your fall colors! Two thumbs up
ReplyDeleteThanks, Rebecca! This cloth came from a shop in New Bedford, Ma. We'll make the rounds in Southeaster Mass next time you visit. :)
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this cloth!! The Fiesta is beautiful with it as are the glasses. I may just have to take the leaf out of my table and start finding smaller cloths. i'm envious of this one! Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteOh, I'm so envious that you were in Vermont this weekend. Wish I could've been there too. The colors look great!
ReplyDeleteLove this cloth, and your autumnal tablescape. The Bakelite-handled flatware is perfect. Cool napkin rings, too.
And BTW, the napkin rings in the Sept. 22 'scape look great with that awesome fruit 'n' pinecone cloth! Sorry I didn't see it when it was first posted. Happy to see you use them in such a pretty setting!
Love this one, but then I love all of your tablescapes!
ReplyDeleteGood Morning D!
ReplyDeleteGetting a late start this morning, but this is just the perfect tablescape to start the morning with! Just love the green background on this cloth. The pictures of this cloth that I have seen just don't do it justice like this 'scape does.
The cornucopia is the perfect accessory to bring out the theme ..... everything just looks wonderful!
Re: kitties and grass
Not a good combo in this house. Homer is notorious for destructive activity where grasses are concerned, but he doesn't seem to care about fresh flowers
Lovely, lovely way to start the day!

Very pretty setting. Love that harvest tablecloth and the bakelite flatware.
ReplyDeleteA very pretty table! Love the tablecloth!
ReplyDeleteI would have been looking forward to using that beautiful tablecloth, too! Your china and napkins coordinate so well, and the goruds in the cornucopia evoke harvest and fall. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteYour table is so pretty. I was in Maine this week and the leaves are at about the same stage--a little farther along than ours in Connecticut. Your plates work so well with the tablecloth. But that little mischief maker looks like he has plans for the centerpiece! Linda
ReplyDeleteOh what a beautiful tablecloth. And, I have a milk vase shaped like yours and have always wondered what I can put in it. After seeing yours I know I can use it for a beautiful autumn arrangement.
ReplyDeleteI can see why you've been looking forward to using your cloth - it's gorgeous and so perfect for fall. Everything looks beautiful and I love the grasses you used.
ReplyDeleteThat is really a beautiful tablecloth. I love the dishes you chose to go with it. Your center piece is perfect. if you ever want to get rid of the crazing. wrap the piece in a paper towel soaked in 40% hydrogen peroxide (from the beauty supply store) and then wrap in plastic to keep it wet. It might take two or three times, or 2 or 3 days to a week or more to remove it, but it does go away! Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteYou have a lovely California vintage tablecloth. the colors are perfect with the season. The glasses are a great color and you found flatware to match. Very pretty and perfect for this time of year.I am your newest follower. Please come by my blog and say hello. Linda
ReplyDeleteBeautiful table! All the colors blend fall so well! Glad I found your blog!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely lovely autumn table! The photos of Vermont are beautiful. I have never visited the state, but when I saw it in the movie "Baby Boom" with Diane Keaton 20 or so years ago, I fell in love!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous vintage tablecloth! I love the addition of the plumed grasses, and your Fiesta works perfectly with the colors in the cloth. Thank you for showing those of us in Texas the beautiful leaf color in Vermont!
ReplyDeleteHi Daphne...
ReplyDeleteOhhh...the countryside of Vermont is gorgeous! I have always wanted to make a trip there this time of the year! And...you're absolutely right, that pretty tablecloth captures the colors of autumn perfectly! I love it! Love your pretty place settings...there again, such beautiful, vibrant colors! Your pretty autumn stalks make a beautiful arrangement for your table...they're perfect! Thank you so much for sharing this lovely autumn table with us...it was such a treat, my friend!
Warmest autumn wishes,

ReplyDeleteTerry

You've done a magnificent job of integrating the design on your gorgeous cloth into your entire tablescape. Even the napkin fold repeats the motif of the wheat shape. So well done! I really like this. Thank you for sharing your charming design. Cherry Kay
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures. Thanks for posting them. Great table as always.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful harvest table. The vintage textile is perfect as a backdrop to this table setting. Love seeing the vintage bakelite flatware. I've just begun to collect pieces and having fun! ~ Sarah
