We had dinner on the porch tonight. The showdows are lengthening, the sun was going down. There is a bit of Fall chill in the air.

The Spode dishes are gorgeous!
Having dinner out on the terrace is my favorite spot and the weather is getting to the point where it will be enjoyable again. Love this time of year! I was out of town much of the week so just now getting by to visit the TT posts. Thanks for sharing your dinner table. ~ Sarah

Lovely fall table. Don’t you just love this time of year? Back from our nightly wall, and it’s crisp outside, and someone was burning leaves.
