I have to admit, I am not a fancy person! So when I decided to try a fancy fall table for Kathleen Cuisine's White Fall Challenge - it really was a Challenge. So here is my attempt at being fancy!
Kathleen's Challenge was to do a fall table using white dishes.
Was it cheating when I covered up most of the white dessert plates with pumpkins and leaves?
I hope not- I was kind of thinking it was more of a creative move!
How else was I going to scream out fall to you!
With pumpkins
pumpkins,
and more pumpkins!
Most of what you see here, I already had in my stash!
When I found this table cloth - it just seemed like everything just came together.
The napkins and the candlesticks are new.
Oh - the mini pumpkin stack and the gourds are new- because those are real!
Now, please excuse me while I go change my cloths and put on some makeup!
I feel like I have to get fancied up to sit at my fancy table!

ReplyDeleteFrom looking at this table, I would not know that you normally don't do formal. It is beautiful. The leaves and pumpkins on the plates are so pretty, and your tablecloth is perfect for this challenge. Well done. laurie
ReplyDeleteBeautiful table....love the rich colors you used and those little pumpkins on your salad plates are sweet!
ReplyDeleteYour table is SO elegant! Those large leaves set off the white dishes beautifully!

ReplyDeleteI've never seen so many different and beautiful pumpkins all at one table! I love how you mixed the real pumpkins/gourds on your table. The scroll decorated pumpkin on the place setting china stack is my favorite! Such elegance with the colors of Fall. :-)

ReplyDeleteYou do fancy very nicely, Ann! I love all the different kinds of pumpkins -- they really spell Autumn! Your amber glasses are perfect for this table -- wish I had some that color! And the tablecloth is the perfect base for all your pretty things.

I'm curious...might this beautiful, fancy table reappear for Thanksgiving? It would be a fantastic, elegant table for your special day. I'd say that you have a fancy eye that's just been in hiding. Now your talents are out in the open! Thanks for inviting us for a peak. Cherry Kay
