Welcome! I'm also a big fan of orange and blue, so I loved seeing the vibrant colors in your fall table. The blue and white tablecloth is timeless and makes the perfect base for your vintage blue and white dishes. The tureen is gorgeous, and I love the copper accents, too.

I love when stylists share their sources and thinking behind their designs. Your blue & white is classic, just as Linda's black & white is. You've got me inspired to use ones I previously had on a summer table, but with the twist of copper, it totally works for fall! Lol, the creative secret use of books as riser is one not all stylists would share, and I love your candid approach to that and the fantastically faux florals. Thanks for sharing it all today. It's classic.Rita C at Panoplyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17351306074493103021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6991718686765766708.post-721740894808456442021-09-08T17:56:13.177-04:002021-09-08T17:56:13.177-04:00Thanks, Carol!

Summer lasts a long time to fade into summer, unlike other states where crisp air comes with the calendar. I haven't had much copper so I'm not sure how much care these will need.
