Grapes (or are they berries?) bring a deep purple to the mix, a color repeated in the wine glasses and, in a lighter shade, the napkins.
The placemats, which you first saw in a spring table, continue the theme, and leaves adorn the napkin rings.
For a centerpiece I simply gathered leaves from the garden, then interspersed them with faux lavender. (A tip for using leaves from the garden -- wipe them gently with a damp paper towel to bring back their sheen.)
I added ceramic quail to the centerpiece, birds that always make me think of fall. These are considered covered boxes. Love their detail!
To bring some height, but not enough to block conversation, I added turquoise tapers in pewter candle holders.
Jaunty quail salt and pepper shakers have joined the table, bringing more fall colors with them.
Soft colors are beginning to deepen for fall. Soon there will be crimsons and russets, golds and browns.

Thanks so much, Fabby! The plates belonged to my mother-in-law, but I don't recall her ever using them. I certainly would have!

ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Pam! I'm ready for fall, or at least for cooler temps. Wished I could have joined the garden party, but the garden wasn't up for it. Darn deer!

Thanks, Jenna! I have to admit I love purple any time of year, lol!

DeleteSuper Pretty! Thank you for joining us at Embracing Home and Family!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jenn! It was a pleasure finding a new party with such delightful bloggers.
DeleteOf course, those quail are Fitz & Floyd. I absolutely love them, and I love Fitz & Floyd, and have done since I was in high school and first discovered them, more years ago that I care to admit. I have been wanting to do something different with my table this year, and I was thinking of gamebirds, believe it or not. I have the F&F pheasant teapot that would make a nice addition, but I definitely need to look into these quail. The salt and pepper shakers are adorable.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Pattie! I love their pheasants too. I'm blown away by all the delightful details that F&F includes in their pieces. Glad to find another F&F aficionado!
