Southern Autumn 2010
Well it is a FALL PARTY DAY! Today we are joining:
Tablescape Thursday with Between Naps on the Porch
Fall Open House with Hooked on Houses
Fall Mantle Party with The Nester
So much fun today!!! Here we go – click on the 1st picture to start the show!
First off a Fall Tablescape
Hmmm, got to find a great fall recipe to serve on the fall table.
Now on to some decorations. I have a fireplace, but alas, no mantle. Luckily, Miss Nester was nice enough to include those of us without mantles in her party. I just decorated a little bit everywhere!
Happy Fall, Y’all!
Today’s Lagniappe: Christi’s Favorite Banana Nut Bread
Heat it up and slather with butter or cream cheese and enjoy on a cool autumn morning with a steaming cup of coffee!

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon cloves
3 mashed bananas
1/2 cup chopped pecans
Cream sugar and butter, add eggs, beat well. Sift in flour, soda, cinnamon and cloves, beat well. Mix in bananas and nuts. Pour into greased loaf pan. Bake 1 hour at 325 degrees.

I know you’re in Arkansas. Just wondered if by any chance you’re in Mountain Home? I love those dishes. Very pretty tablescape!

I love your Spode. It was my mother’s pattern. I used it for many years and just recently passed it on to my niece. Very lovely.

Love your Spode…can’t remember the pattern name…Reynolds?…Marlborough?…brain freeze. I like the way that you layered the gold and crimson table linens. Thanks for the banana nut recipe and for sharing your charming design. Cherry Kay
