The End of Summer


Remember all those dishes I found at the Goodwill a couple of weeks ago? Well, here is an end of Summer tablescape
incorporating my new finds with some old favorites.

 I started with this tray that my darling husband brought home from New Zealand for me
 many, many years ago.


 I added this charming hen casserole dish, some wooden candlesticks, and a 
bouquet of sunflowers that same darling husband recently brought back from Seattle.They dried quite nicely!


 Here are those awesome wooden chargers I found for $1.50 each at the thrift store.Next I layered the Adams Empress dinner plates and an Arabia  bread and butter plate. The brown linen napkins belonged to my grandmother Emily. All are set on table runner I made out of leftover drapery fabric.


 These beautiful goblets are made by Lenox. The pattern is Antique Brown. I received them as a wedding gift.

 A few random pitchers and crocks give great texture to the table and are great for serving sauces or gravy.


And now aren't you ready for the days to get a little shorter and the nights a little cooler?

    As for the fall? We're having better weather here now than we have all year! It's been two very strange years dealing with the weather, but I'm so glad to finally see some sunshine! Whoo hoo! Vanna
