FALLING LEAVES

Not long ago in one of my walks through a favorite thrift I found this set of dishes!  Now I don't need more dishes but I fell in love with the pattern and colors.  Vernon Ware by Metlox of California.

The pattern is called Vineyard

It was Senior Discount Day so I could not resist

They are not traditional fall colors but bring hints of the season

I started with a soft green lacy tablecloth

  I then added tan place mats, fall napkins with a leaf design another thrift store find

Napkin rings are from Pier 1 ~ 4 leaf shapes I found them new at the thrift all four for $1

I also used the bronze handled silverware that I have used many times before, such a warm color

I layered the plates as follows

 Vineyard dinner plate, soft green salad plate, Vineyard desert plate

 A cute dollar tree pumpkin on top

These wine glasses were a recent find at the Goodwill

Four glasses for $1.90

Cup and saucer for tea or coffee 

For a centerpiece I found a candle in the tan color

I put it on a matching Vineyard plate on a pedestal

surrounded by leaves

I scattered some fall leaves and glass pieces for sparkle

added some small brown tea lights

These little birds flew in to provide salt & pepper

I was late getting this table done and used a flash

It really does wash out some of the colors

Of course there is always candlelight

I am joining in a couple of fun parties
