Decorating doesn't have to be a scary thing once you get past the hang ups of being overly concerned about what so many might think about the attempts made at making a seasonal statement. When you're having fun at decorating your own home or event, it doesn't have to cost alot of money or be overkill on the items. What's important is that you're enjoying this part of putting your domestic touches on H O M E.
Observing what others display or simple tips can go along ways!!!
Autumn Blessings to you. I needed some cheering up so I quickly gathered items about the house that I already had and played Tablescape.
A few weeks ago, I did buy a new tablecloth with matching napkins which surprised myself that it wasn't rust, deep orange or yellow in color. This Garnet caught my eye and so it made it's way home. With the leaves turning colors in this part of the country it's easy to see the bright oranges and yellows right next to deep reds and greens. When Christmas and Valentine Day comes, I'll use this tablecloth again.
Starting with the $9 Tablecloth I placed my $2 Silver tray and went from there.
A medium size $7 Walgreen's Ceramic Pumpkin mixed with smaller dollar ones are next.
Adding already on hand greenery with Thrift Store finds of miniature scarecrow and acorn cutie adorned the tray.
Indiana Harvest Milk Glass Goblets, Coffee Cups, Saucers with Dinner and Salad Plates are part of my new collection that I'm adding to as I find them. Table Napkins are decorated with Napkin Holders from Dillards. The holders were another Thrift buy that had never been opened and my everyday utensils were used.
I enjoy having virtual Tea on Thursdays with my friends, but last week I was too sick to do even that and this week isn't much better, so when I get around to it I will take Tea on the same tray and get some rest! Hope you're staying warm and well. Thank you for stopping by. You have cheered me up and warmed my heart. Can't wait to hear your news!
Simple pleasures for the H O M E front...God Bless and Best Wishes to you always,

Hi Deanna,
Love your table..such rich colors..
Hope you are feeling better!
Lovely table. I like the garnet color of your new textiles. My mother collected milk glass so when I see some, I always think of her. You did a beautiful job setting this table!
That tablecloth will be very versatile. Everything looks lovely.
Deanna, I just love your beautiful white dishes against that garnet. I also noticed the pretty napkin fold you did and adorned.
Very nice tablescape indeed.
thanks for coming by to see me and for your compliment. :)

Love that Autumn fairy or gnome or critter - whatever it is, it's adorable.

Love the garnet cloth and the leaves in the napkins! Can't beat a frugal centerpiece as adorable as yours either!
