First Table of Fall

Even though we have experienced some record breaking heat, the calendar says it is Autumn. So, Pat set this week's table with that in mind.

Pat mixed "Claret" and "Ivory" Fiesta(ware)

The antique copper flatware is "Rustic Twig"

I bought these remarkably durable glasses 40 years ago (although I have replaced a few due to earthquakes)

Where it came from:
Rust Colored Place Mat - from Bed, Bath, and Beyond years ago
Baroque-style Lacquer Charger - from Michael's two or three years ago
Dinnerware - "Claret" and "Ivory" Fiesta(ware) by Homer Laughlin from Macy's and Replacements.com
Leaf Bowl - from Pier 1 several years ago

Not Quite Oktoberfest Table

We're calling this week's table "Not Quite Oktoberfest" because of the dishes that were used - Mikasa's "Kabuki" - a very un-German looking pattern, but the colors are perfect to compliment the inspiration Beer Stein that Pat used for a centerpiece vase.

Flatware is "Grand Colonial" by Wallace

This Hutschenreuther "Racine" luncheon plate was used to give the place setting some separation

One of our favorite glasses - from the Dollar Store

These cute little figurines were a gift from a friend while she visited Germany several years ago
