I am ready for some crisp Autumn weather and the wonderful display of nature's color change - it is my favorite time of year!
We are celebrating the Fall Season with our tablescape group!
Summer is just around the corner, are you planning any road trips? Whether it be a trip to a local park or a drive across country, road trips are a fun way to explore and and enjoy new things.
Welcome to Corner of Plaid and Paisley where signs of spring are sprouting up here in Ohio.
I am happy to be participating in our Spring Tablescape Hop organized by the wonderful Rita of Panoply! There are 19 wonderful table stylist participating in our hop today with a mix of Easter and Spring Tables. All of the links to these inspirational tables will be at the end of my post for you to enjoy.
My table is all about the new growth of plants just popping up all over the gardens showing sure signs of Spring. Here in Ohio, we are hoping that the little bit freezing weather we will still get will not hurt their growth.
These Tete-a-Tete Minature Daffodils are my favorite spring flower because they are one of the first to sprout. I used lunch bags that I cut a zig zag edge across the top and then wrapped the flower pots and tied it with a little yellow gingham ribbon. Greenery and several cute little ducks are tucked in between the flower pots.
You may notice that my table is not in my usual setting. This table is at my daughter's house. I too, am in a state of new growth as I am in the process of starting a new chapter in my life and I will be moving soon. Since I have not moved my dishes yet, I was a little limited to what I had available to me to set this table. I did purchase the plates new at HomeGoods about two weeks ago.
I liked uniqueness of the wood on just a portion of the plate and the leafy motif on the rest of the plate.
The loosely woven rattan placemats along with the round greenery charger mats remind me of the state of the way our garden beds look now - sparse and full of twigs waiting for new growth.
I am Oh, So Thankful! Welcome to my Thanksgiving Table!

I am all set for a gathering of witches to stir up some Halloween hijinks!
The little standing witch's brooms are from At Home. I am sure they are probably popular with the Harry Potter crowd - but I thought they were just the thing to go with my tablecloth.
This big witch hat with the books centerpiece was from At Home as well. I added some of my home made potion bottles to hold some necessary ingredients for a good elixir.
Now it is on to see what our other tablescapers have concocted for their Halloween tables!!
Don't forget your broom on the way out the door!
Fall is not only the celebration of a wonderful nature display in Ohio, but it is the season of Ohio's favorite sport - Football!!
I am participating in our Welcome Fall Tablescape Blog Hop today!
Hi, I am Ann, a self proclaimed dish hoarder. I have a penchant for anything plaid, polka dot, or paisley. I love mixing patterns and colors. This has evolved into paper projects as well. I created this page as a way to share my inspiration and ideas with others! I find myself starting a new chapter in life at 65!! I am so grateful to the support of my children and my friends who have been by my side. I look forward to many more years of creative endeavors and hope to share more with you in the future! Thanks for stopping by :)
