Hello sweet friends!
To continue with my "Autumn" decorations around the house, now I decorated my wooden bread dough bowl, for the centerpiece for a light dinner of Cream of Pumpkin and Cheese Soup and Garlic Bread. For dessert, some Tea with Pumpkin Pound Cake. I did mention our dinners are light around here and lunch much more hardier.
This table is set for six and we can all sit whatever we like and serve ourselves soup from the white tureen mother gifted me many years ago...with garlic bread and for dessert pumpkin cake with tea or coffee.
Here it is, I hope you like it.

| A very casual Fall dinner table scape and my dining table centerpiece wood bowl. The orange cloth I kept from all the decorations from my daughter Sofia's wedding many years ago. There's also an eggplant color one I love. |
 |
| I arranged my wooden dough bowl with more white gourds I painted, some orange pumpkins, pine cones, Indian corn and walnuts in their shells. Underneath it I used some dry hay, or thatch, to make it look more rustic. |

| At your right is the tureen for the Pumpkin Cheese Soup. The crocheted table runner was made by my mother. |
 |
| The pumpkin cream and cheese soup, which in real life is a bit more orange looking. The recipe is at the end of this post. |
 |
| At your left side there's a tray for tea and the teacups. |

| The tray in back ready for tea. These dishes are Chinese vintage, they're bone-china, the ones you can see through them, lol! |

| I painted the White gourds, as there are no White pumpkins or anything like this around here....only in orange with greens and yellows. I love red or colored indian corn. |

| This side is set for serving soup. |
 |
| I did a little tweaking adding some more blue and white transfer ware on top of the artwork, which is blue, as well. I love my new acquisitions; the country couple in the carriage pulled by a horse and it's vintage Dutch Delft's Blauw; along with the pretty vintage English one with the vessel...these two are my fav ones for now. The left side display has English, Dutch, Japanese and some plates made here, back at our Ceramic Co., Monte Turi. Down in the wall, the pretty center pink plate is French, flanked by two Bavarian ones from my Mil, and they do remind me of her, so I added them to my Wall display, too. |
 |
| I love bread bowls all decorated for Autumn, or even with just fruits and veggies in the kitchen, all year round. I also added some faux ivy greenery. |
 |
| The pretty crocheted runner was made by my mother around 25 years ago. She made a set with a big tablecloth, the tray doily and even a bread basket doily as well. |
