Tablescape # 53 *Sunflowers and Acorns*

Welcome everyone.

 The country kitchen is set with Sunflowers and acorns.
Autumn is just around the corner (Saturday September 22, 2012)

Acorns are bountiful. The acorn dishes are the inspiration for this tablescape.
Thanksgiving 2011 also featured the acorn plates. Here  

The stemware with the gold trim is a perfect match to the gold flatware on my Autumn table.

To kickoff the fall season.  Did you get the pun (kickoff) football, autumn leaves, acorns and the last bright sunflowers reaching for the sky.
Is there a correct placement for the acorn plate? Acorn top up or down?

I  found the lovely yellow pottery tea cups and saucers at a thrift shop. The soft buttery yellow compliments the yellow design on my tea pot. The little sunflower votive candles I found at TM on clearance.

The .99 cent store provided the cream colored plates.
 I think the cream color adds a natural earthiness. Instead of stark white.

I have waited patiently until the end of Summer for an abundance of blooms on the sunflowers to arrange this bouquet. I wanted a full and colorful bouquet with several different colors and sizes.

The gold trimmed salad plates were a 50th wedding anniversary gift. Ralph Lauren

I found this glittery autumn leaf patterned fabric to make four napkins.
The leafy napkins and the bling from the glitter blends wonderfully with the warm wood table.

The green dinner plates are another thrifty find from the Dollar Tree.

Handmade napkin rings with acorns add a little bit of whimsy to the place setting.

The dinner plates are Ralph Lauren. Also a Golden Anniversary gift.

The flower bucket was kicking around awhile. It was green and I painted it white and took some brown stain and dabbed it on the bucket. I found a sticker of the Eiffel Tower and glued it to the bucket.
Ta - Da  A french flower bucket.

I love serving tea with dinner. My tea pot has the same golden yellow color of the sunflowers and the amber trim accents the acorn plates.  

My french pillow and caramel colored candles glow on my country table. It's so romantic.
