Tablescape Thursday – Early Fall Setting

Hello friends! I haven’t been able to participate in Tablescape Thursday for a long time, but I’m happy to join in this week.
Since it is still early fall, I wanted a quiet color scheme. I am not ready for the brighter fall colors of oranges and golds yet (Reminds me that pounds of oak and maple leaves will soon be all around needing to be raked up!) So I decided on a soft yellow rectangular tablecloth to underwrite a scheme of white and brown in this setting for four in the dining room.

Down the center of the table a large white ceramic pumpkin covered bowl has a smaller matching pair on either side.

The large pumpkin dish is placed on a yellow glass charger filled with acorns picked up on my driveway last fall. On the left is a Fitz and Floyd ceramic salt and pepper set shaped like acorns -- a fitting motif at Oak Rise Cottage!

Two brown hydrangea sprays in yellow glass tumblers are at each end..

The individual place settings include: Brown woven placemats, white Canonsburg "American Traditional" dinner plates and brown transferware salad plates by Royal Stafford, made in England; The goblets are brown Fostoria "Virginia." The flatware is Towle "English Shell" stainless flatware; striped wood napkin rings hold white napkins with brown embroidery. Nearby is a silver-topped wood salt and pepper set.
