September Table

I was chomping at the bit for a little
fall change on the table.

Fall is a state of mind in South Florida,
and my cicadian rhythm was humming!.

It started (as it often does) with my search
for a fun table runner.

Off came the summer white shutter runner.

 I found a board in the garage and gave it a good scrub.

 I wiped it down with mineral oil, as I do for
my kitchen island butcher block. I keep the oil
soaked rag in a tennis can (HERE)
to use over and over again.

I've added a few pieces of the 

blue and white orchard fruit dishes. 

Out came the rattan chargers.

 I only have 6 cups & saucers and 6 small
 bowls of the fruit dishes, but they
mix and match nicely with the rest
of my blue & white dishes.

 Partridge in a pear tree tea set.

 A clever trivet made by screwing wine corks

onto the ends. A little touch of my fall wine 

theme seen in my previous posts.

Wine!

 I set the wood board on two nubby woven 

placemats for more texture and color.

 Glass insulator caps are filled with tea lights.

 The Longaberger tote basket is the centerpiece.

 I'll also be using my grapevine dishes.

 Pop a little orange leaf on top.

Good for salads or dessert.

Set for breakfast, lunch, and

DINNER! Garlic Shrimp & Cheese Grits.

Get the recipe on my recipe blog HERE.

Cheers!
