about the details on the table.
simple white French porcelain bowls.
These cute pumpkin plates are
the perfect accent for a fall table.
I've place them on Nantucket Basket
by Wedgwood to set them off
against the fall inspired placemats.
The detail of the hand painting
on the pumpkin plates is amazing.
I wasn't familiar with MSC Mainstreet Collection,
but if these plates are representative
of their product line, I'm impressed.
We found the decoupage placemates
at a Paris shop many years ago.
The colors and the details are wonderful
and perfect for any fall table.
I've used my husband's favorite flatware,
Talisman by Christophe.
These were made by Siecle,
but I suspect many of you clever
DIY readers could make these yourself.
The metal leaf serving plate
offers another touch of fall.
As do the plaid
napkins tied with raffia.
The mix of colorful
flowers fill a favorite medal basket.

Hi Sarah, First of all, your husband has exquisite taste in flatware. I love it too. And thank you for pointing out the tip about the pretty ribbon on the gourds. The silky ribbon contrasts so nicely with the gourds--I am definitely going to do this. Yum, the menu sounds delicious. This is such a cozy and welcoming table. Linda
ReplyDeleteSarah - Your table setting is beautiful. I especially like the plaid napkins! The soup looks wonderful, too. Thanks for such an inspiring post. Think I'll make your soup this weekend.
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous tablescape, Sarah--I love the pumpkin plate against the white china, the plaid napkins in those wonderful autumn colors, and the soup!
ReplyDeleteSarah~ I love your cozy table for two by the window...I'm ready for soup weather! Your Tomato Chipotle sounds delicious and llike it might have the right amount of heat but not too hot with the cool avocado garnish! I'm a fan of foccacia too! Adorable pumpkin plates and wonderful place mats :)
ReplyDeleteLooks like a very welcoming table to sit at and have a nice long conversation Sarah! Happy Fall:@)
ReplyDeleteSarah, the decoupage placemats are wonderful. Love this cozy table for two, and the soup sounds very good. xo Debbie
ReplyDeleteLove this autumn setting and the menu! Sarah I just love all the small details that you highlight when you prepare a table.
ReplyDeleteGreat Autumn setting there.. and we adore chipotles!! Use then all the time here. So are or is there a lesson coming in decoupage soon? It's been eons since I've last done one.
ReplyDeleteOH, and 'schootch' over there and slide me up bowl and some yummy bread too.
warm hugs,
Cotton Peony
Do you have an extra plate for me? Oh, that soup sounds wonderful! I love soup. My dad did, too. Tomato soup is a favorite with me, and I like the way you spiced this up, Sarah. And your dishes and accoutrements are so cute.
ReplyDeleteXO,
Sheila
What ' a beautiful table you've set on your sunroom, Sarah! I love those placemats (aren't they clever?) and those pumpkin plates (swoon!). The menu sounds perfect for our cooler temps (yea!!!!).
ReplyDeleteOh Sarah, this is so warm and inviting. I wish I could pop over for a bowl and a visit.

Hi, sister friend,
ReplyDeleteAs always, your table is just beautiful and....perfect. Everything is so lovely and the menu sounds to die for.
I love your pretty sun room.....
Perfect table for two. Love Autumn and these designs that you have put together reflect the loveliness of the season.
ReplyDeleteHi Sarah, a nip in the air and soup, doesn't get any better! What a lovely spot to enjoy your dinner. The floral arrangement is the perfect centerpiece and I love how you display the menu card. Soup looks delish! I love your pretty decoupage pattern, looks great with your husband's favorite flatware too. Lovely post.......

Your photos are so beautiful! I loe your tablescape, Sarah. Food's delish too!....Christine
ReplyDeleteHi Sarah,
ReplyDeleteI agree! The nip in the air makes it perfect for a cup of hot soup. I am ready for soups, stews, chili, etc. I think I'm going to make something this weekend along those lines but haven't decided what as of yet. We've got a cold front moving in now and I have to say I'm loving it. I wonder if it's hitting you all to.
Your table looks wonderful and is full of charm and detail. I especially love the iron leaf dish but the plates, the plaid napkins and the crisp white make it all so inviting.
Thanks for sharing,
Nancy
Holy Focaccia! Give me some of that warm bread...now! I love what you've done. You've mastered the art of detail, evident to all. I'm stopping by from 2805, where I linked up as #118-120. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Sarah,
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for linking up and sharing this lovely post with Fresh-Cut Friday. That metal vase is that your arrangement is in is gorgeous. :) I would love a bowl of that yummy soup. :)
Have a wonderful weekend. :)

I'm visiting from Fresh Cut Friday.
I hope it keeps cooling off for you! It sure has here! Fall is definitely in the air.
Hey there, Sarah! I could use a cup of warm, spicy soup today. It got mighty chilly around these parts overnight, and we are expecting a frost over the weekend. Nothing like what they are getting in Denver or Minnesota or North Dakota, though...thank goodness!!! This is a very pretty setting, and I really love the way you have presented the napkin with the raffia tie and placed on the diagonal. The placemat is really fun, too. I am NOT a crafty person, so I would have to buy them, too! :-) Don't know that I can go all the way to Paris for them, though. Wow...Paris! I really like your metal leaf serving dish, too. Definitely rings of fall!!! Have a happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteYour table is beautiful, Sarah (as always) and the soup looks so tasty! I could devour a piece of that warm foccacia bread, right now. Yumm! Thanks so much for sharing a lovely taste of Fall today and have a wonderful weekend! ~Mary
ReplyDeleteDid someone say soup? Looks delicious! Such cheery tomato plates. And the placemats are amazing! So perfect for fall!
ReplyDeleteSarah, your soup and focaccia look sooo good. Love the avocado garnish. All your tablescape details are so pretty..but the metal leaf plate is my favorite thing..aside from the lunch. Have a great weekend,
ReplyDeleteBabs
Your soup looks delish! and I love the setting; cute pumpkin dishes and the placemats are so unique! I always enjoy visiting!

Hi Sarah,
ReplyDeletethis is pumpkin soup at its finest. I love how you serve it with lovely china, placemat and decoration. The nicest thing is for me the Menu. It looks like a real etching print. Really luxury Menu!
Best greetings, Johanna
Wow a beautiful table. Love it, love the orange....and I would love the soup!
ReplyDeleteHi Sarah.....it seems all of us bloggers love fall...your table is beautifully set...I love the flower arrangement and the ribbon tied gourd...it's not cool enough here yet to start enjoying soup the way it should be enjoyed....BUT that didn't stop me from using my new crock pot to make a big pot of beef barley soup yesterday....I just turned down the air conditioning to 65!!
ReplyDeleteWOW. That soup, and that FOCCACIA are what autumn dinners are all about! Sarah my dear, what a gorgeous table!!! Don't you just love this time of year?
ReplyDeleteThank you for inviting me to sit down here with you, and for coming to view my art and home. A new camera is keeping me busy to learn to get the right lighting!
Have a splendid fall day. Anita
I think you need to add another place setting, Sarah, as I will be over shortly. Your menu sounds wonderful, and I adore those pumpkin plates and plaid napkins with raffia bows, so fall, so home-y. xo
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice fall supper you are having here, Sarah! Everything looks delicious and is so, so festive, too! Love the fall colors. Cute little pumpkin plates, too!

Gorgeous table. First off, so nice to dine in the sun porch. The white bowl on the pumpkin plates are contrasted nicely. Lovely placemats. The soup and bread look yummy. The soup must have a little kick to it.

Your table is like a breath of fresh air, Sarah. I love each and every component. And, how fun to have a few pinks in that gorgeous arrangement.
ReplyDeleteI hope you will be joining our Themed Pink Saturdays.
What a marvelous setting. That first picture of yours with the view out the window sets the stage for your lovely fall table and then it is topped off by all of your warm and comforting food. Wish I was there sitting at your table.
ReplyDeleteSarah, the chill in the air has made me think of soup also. My next post will be a tablescape for soup and dinner. That soup sounds delicious. I'd love to get the recipe. Your table looks so pretty. Those pumpkin plates are wonderful, and the placemats are so unique. The plaid napkins with raffia ties are the perfect Fall accent. laurie
