🍁🍂🍁 Fall Series Begins: Tablescape #1 🍁🍂🍁

Finally the weather is cooling off - Hooray! I am so excited to write today it seems my creative juices are overloading my brain the last few weeks.  Funny how this time year makes me more creative and all I want to do is DIYs and decorate.  I'll try to post most of them on here.  I have been experimenting with different table settings and kind of like what I have put together.  I have to say BRAVO to Target and their dollar spot - but I think I may have been sucked into the dollar spot trap.  It seems like my brain keep saying, "Oh it's just a dollar", but by the time I go through the register I've spent thirty or forty dollars.  But I do have to say they have made setting up a table for fall pretty darn easy, with a few creative touches.  I actually think that many of the stores have stepped up their game this year, I found so many cute things. I have purchased more from Pier1, World Market and Target then in the past few years and love it all.  I have always had a thing for fabric napkins, they just seem to dress up a table and make it a little more formal or just fancy and they make a table look finished.  Is that a correct statement?  Not sure, but I do love fabric napkins.  I'm so impressed when I go somewhere and the table has a beautiful setting or has flowers, it's so welcoming and I appreciate the effort, it makes me feel important. I think it's the though that goes into the preparation and creativeness of the host or hostess to put out the effort to  make me feel welcome.


Anyway this Series is to share a few of the tablescapes, decorating ideas and maybe a few good recipes.  They were so easy and I'll try to list everything I used.  This first one I feel is so traditional, using oranges and yellows but it turned out great. 

How cute is this? This table really puts me in the mood for Fall.  I guess this one was my inspiration. I love how the Fall colors fill the table.  The "Thankful and Grateful" plate are from the Target dollar spot along with the orange napkins. I used my everyday dishes, which is the Spice Route collection, the salt and peeper shakers and basket weave placement chargers which all are from Pier one, love these dishes, the metal pitcher is from Jo-Ann fabrics and filled it up with a ton of faux foliage from Michael's. The Happy Fall sign and berry sprays are from Hobby lobby and the scarecrow people and glasses are from the Dollar Tree.  All in all it turned out cute and pretty cheap to put together.  Once I did this setting I was definitely in the mood for fall.


I hope to see again soon when I continue the series on my seasonal décor.  Get creative, stay inspired and have a great season.
