FABBY: Autumn Leaves

   I always loved Autumn, as a girl from Queens, NY, it was my favorite time of the year, I loved to go to beautiful Astoria park with my little friends and we would all jumped on top of the beautiful bed of leaves, brown, gold-yellow, red and ambar with stricks of orange and to hear the crunchy sound this would produce!  October is also my birthday month, so I always got a lot of attention from my parents, my brothers,  my cousins, uncles and aunts would come from LI, bringing presents...it was great!  Actually, it still is with my hubby, daughters and grandgirls, too!

   Besides fall, I got inspired by a tablecloth I hand embroidered several years ago with orange fall leaves and my vintage Oriental bone china, which I paired with  charges that have an orange band,  bringing out the orange flowers of the china.  The centerpiece  I did in a large wooden oval tray that were used to make bread dough and I  arranged it with nature's fall bounty and faux leaves and flowers.  I hope you like it and I invite you my dear wonderful friends from blog land, which inspire me with such enthusiasm  to try come up  with tablescapes that go with the seasons, festivities, or whatever theme we're in the mood.  Thanks so much in advance, I so appreciate your wonderful visits and generous comments.

I will be linking to some great parties too, so thank you to the gracious ladies that host them every

 I thought I show you the center of  my embroidered tablecloth before I set the centerpiece, which is some what big.

 The Autumn tablescape.  The four corners of the table topper is embroidered like you see here.

 The wooden large tray which people used to knead big amounts of dough for bread making.

 The candle holders are Portuguese, they won a design award in the 90's.

 The wine is fuax...let's not get excited, lol!

 The leaves look like grape leaves, but also like fall leaves, maybe??

 The center piece...I love the colored corn!

 I loved the shape of the pumkin I found at the local open market, along with the other things.

 The glass napkin rings are a new find, I loved them because they're glass and had the color of orange candy.

 The tablescape for eight.....the cute little salt celler was made at our former Ceramic Co.

 I had fun elaborating this centerpiece.

 A side of the centerpiece.

 The color corn are so much fun!

 This corn has a pretty,  wine red color to it, I love it!

 The centerpiece evoking Autumn.

 This small bowl is for dessert, but I use them with a clear chicken soup with wine, a French consomè as an antrè.

 The layers and the centerpiece.  The stems are hand blown in Mexico.

 This is a big dinner plate, like they make them now, so it was perfect as a charger for the smaller, vintage one and I like the way it brought out the orange flowers in the oriental plates.

 The vintage oriental dinner plate is so much smaller than the modern ones, this enabled me to use them as a chargers,  I'm even thinking we'll have Thanksgiving in this combo!

 The layer with the small bowl...this china comes with bigger soup bowls and soup plates, too.

 The bone china's tea set on a wooden Italian hand decorated tray and a vintage Italian yellow flower vase.

 week.         Lots of hugs.     FABBY
