We are celebrating the Fall Season with our tablescape group!
In the past few years my interests have grown from fabric to paper and now to dishes too! I just love prints, polkadots, plaids and paisleys- hence the blog name.

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 :)

Ann, your autumn table setting is so pretty! I love your stunning plates and those whimsical wooden mushrooms--pinned! Happy almost fall!
ReplyDeleteYour table is so pretty, and I love the plaid table runner and how the wooden mushrooms compliment it so well. I also like how you paired the dark leaf plates with the white leaf patterned mugs. Everything works well together on your table. Happy fall!
ReplyDeleteHi Ann, how nice you can stay at your daughter's house during this moving time, and wow, even do a tablescape! It is so fall perfect with the plaid runner, fall leaf garland, mushrooms, and pumpkins. The leaf mugs are great, and I love the black pumpkin plates. The wood chargers, napkin rings, and rattan placemats add wonderful texture! Good luck with your move~

Ann, I am so impressed that you can pull off this lovely table while staying at your daughter’s house and 100 boxes of dishes and decor packed away. The matching plaid runner and napkins are perfect with the lovely black plates, they really pop with their fall colors. The leaf garland, pumpkins, and mushrooms add more autumn vibes to the table. I always enjoy seeing your tables, always creative! Best wishes on your move!
ReplyDeleteAnn, I admire your talent at the table for this welcoming fall! Girl, you did it! You got everything packed and STILL held out for the beauty of your new season starting! I am so proud of how you've taken things in your hands and pushed through it all. Your table is beautiful on that black tabletop. I love those dishes. I don't get to HL a lot, but you always seem to find the best of the best. Those napkin rings and mushrooms are adorable, and the black candlesticks make for a nice, dramatic pop on the runner. I'm mad for plaids anytime, any season. Like the birds on the mugs, I hope you have a new song in your heart. Thanks so much for continuing to be a part of this group. ❣️
ReplyDeleteGood morning Ann, Autumn is my favorite time of year too and I’m beyond ready for sweater weather after a long hot and humid summer! I love your pretty plates, they’re stunning and really pop against your black table. I have the same fabric as your runner and napkins but in tablecloth form and love to use it for fall and Thanksgiving. How wonderful to have friends to pitch in and help pack your dishes. As a fellow dish hoarder, I can relate and had to chuckle at your comment about the movers and 100 boxes. I admire your ability to set a table with all your wares packed away, so glad you could join in the fun again. Wishing you the best of luck with your move and your fresh start! As always, it’s a treat to have a virtual seat at your table and hop with you. Happy almost fall! 🍂🍁🧡
ReplyDeleteSo nice that you can stay with your daughter, Ann, moving is not for the faint hearted. I loved the way you used your daughter's black table top as the background for your table setting. It worked perfectly with your black plates. the plaid runner is a great welcome Fall piece and works well with the textured placemats. After reading about your 100 boxes of dinnerware I pointed out to my husband that I was not the only one with a lot of dishes. LOL. Best of luck on the move.

Ann, your fall table is so lovely. Kudos to you for setting a pretty fall table at your daughter’s house while you wait for your new place. You are a dishaholic with 100 boxes of dishes. I have yet to count mine….ha ha. I love the fall plates with the black background. They look perfect in the black tabletop. The plaid runner and napkins are lovely and speak fall to me. The added 🍄🟫 mushrooms are darling. Wishing you a lovely new start in your new home. Always a pleasure joining you on these tablescape blog hop.
ReplyDeleteBlack is a wonderful base for the vibrant leaves on the plates, and the pretty plaid runner and napkins are a soft accent for them. I love the cute wooden mushrooms and the way they echo the wood plates. I lingered on the garland and the various textures woven through it. Very pretty! I have enjoyed setting tables at my daughter's as well!
ReplyDeleteAnn, I'm with you! I'm so ready for autumn to arrive. Your table is full of inspiration with the plaid runner and autumn inspired dishes. The little wooden mushrooms are a fun addition. Happy Fall!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh Ann - I can so relate to packing and moving dishes and decor as I just went through it myself! And you set a table in the midst of it all too. Your daughter's black table is the perfect backdrop for those beautiful black salad plates. The mushrooms are adorable and I love love all the textures you've added from the dinner plates and placemats to the linens and napkin rings. The garland is perfect and the bird mugs are so cute. The candles just pop. Beautiful table. It was a pleasure joining you on this blog hop and I hope your move goes smoothly. Happy almost fall to you!
ReplyDeleteAnn, you always set a gorgeous table, and you have set a most beautiful one at your daughter’s house. What a lovely table to welcome fall. I adore the pretty plates with the black background. They are so striking. Moving is such a chore, and I hate to think of how many boxes of dishes I would have to pack. I have a serious dish addiction. Wishing you a happy and blessed fall! Shannon@Belle Bleu Interiors
