Touch of Fall Color

The leaves are changing here,
but only on my table.
I'm bringing a little fall color to 
South Florida.
 I had to bring in my blooming orchid.
 It has just started to bloom and
 will be full of flowers soon.
Royal Worcester~Evesham china. 
 My rattan chargers.
 Pear and apple salt & pepper set 
in a small Longaberger basket.
 Harvest painted goblets from 
the Dollar Store, years ago.
Amber goblets from Walmart.
 Leaf plates from Walmart too.
 A thrift store pumpkin tea pot.
 Bringing it all back again for fall.
 A clay wine brique.
I put the brique in the freezer 
until its ice cold.
It's great for keeping the wine chilled 
at the table.

A little bit of Autumnizing.

  9. Simply gorgeous. It's so fun seeing how you use some of the same items I have, such as the tiny Longaberger basket, and getting new ideas on how to use mine.

  12. Hi, Rita! First, I had no idea those things were called a "brique." I will have to remember that. I have one, and I also didn't realize you could put them in the freezer! Duh! I guess that makes perfect sense, but it never occurred to me. Thanks for the tip! Wow...living in Florida I guess there really isn't a dramatic change of seasons. You did a good job of doing it just the same on your table, though! I love the leaf plates! When the rest of us are outside breaking our backs raking up leaves, we will think of you and sigh! Have a great weekend!

  16. I like the contract of the leave plate against the blue placemat. It's a nice way to start bringing in the fall when we are not quite there yet. Your orchid looks beautiful!

  17. It sounds like your weather is similar to mine here in Australia. I must say though, that this winter it was unusually cold for us. I hope that doesn't mean we are in for a long hot summer!

    Happy Autumn!

    Best wishes,
    Natasha.
