Southern Harvest Table

Well, I would call it a Halloween table, except it is not very scary. Maybe, it is just a friendly Halloween table? Whichever, you call it, today’s table is this weeks entry for Tablescape Thursday with Susan at Between Naps on the Porch.

    I must say this is favorite approach to a Halloween/Harvent table! It’s fun, seasonal, and festive … with lots of elegant, refined touches to wow your guests! Nicely done.

    Happy Halloween!

    You & I have very similar china & I have extra salad plates that would go with yours beautifully….wish we lived closer so we could share & mix & match! My Mom & her sister did that all the time. They would each purchase coordinating pieces so that together, they could serve 24. We have a big family. 🙂

    I love your stemware, too. Very elegant!!

    Hey, just to let you know, there is nothing in the pumpkins. They are just for decoration. Thanks for asking!

    I have a Bailey, too, who also wonders what I’m doing running around the house in rooms I don’t generally frequent!! 😀 Love the wicker pumpkins!

    Love those goblets! Or should I say “goblins” at this rather appropriate time? Your pets are like mine, watching as I drag out the dishes and choose which table to use. Wondering what on earth is mom doing? Mom who sometimes eats standing at the counter? Yeah, I know, bad thing to do! This is stunning. The flatware caught my eye too. Beautiful table!

    Very nice. Your “dark” pics are great. We seldom have any light in Vermont and I am struggling to get good pics.
