Happy Fall Tablescape


Every meal is a gift. Harvest time not only brings the bountiful fruits of the growing year, but also gives opportunities to create witty and natural seasonal tablescapes for family and friends.
      
As the year draws to a close with its early dark evenings and the fall of the first leaf, it is understood that the plants and trees are preparing themselves for a winter's rest. How wonderful nature is.

All cultures throughout history give great symbolic importance to gatherings and celebrations. Gathering at home at this time of the year for the celebration of festivities and for dinners with decorative tables of windfall fruits and vegetables bring happiness into the home.

Creating the harvest themed tablescape with fruits and vegetables, I wanted to give the center piece a bit of a natural scenic touch using with bright coloured fruits and vegetables.

This arrangement includes the colourful yellow Zucchini, red and yellow bell peppers, the plump pumpkin, a small old wooden home frame, the rusted lanterns and the cute little robins .

Everyone loves flowers & I used different kinds of colourful flowers and fruits as a back drop that went well with the table setting.

Fall is really about celebrating whats been planted and cared for in the summer. 

                                      Happy Fall Season.

    I love this time of year and this tablescape makes me want a bowl of hot daal, mulled wine, ghost stories, and the company of good friends. Just beautiful!
    You have a knack for using warm tones and beauty to evoke nostalgia.

    The candlelight glow on your table is so appealing. You have mixed your elements so nicely--the china, metals and rustic! Love the lanterns too. Linda

Shades of Green

This is September, and the month offers its own fresh start to many things. Here in India, it is the beginning of festivities and celebrations for the next few coming weeks. These are the days of showers too, and it is truly refreshing & soothing to see the plants and trees after every brief shower. The moist leaves give us an impression that they are happy and smiling and breathing a 'Thank You' for the fresh green look. I love the colour green and as we all know it is one of Mother Natures primary colours. The green stem is honoured and credited to hold every flower of different colours. That's awesome. Inspiration comes from every where and the colour green inspired me to do a scape, with the green touch. I collected the green ware from the racks and putting it together as a teascape was pleasing to the eyes like the happy greenery around us. Sometimes it is wonderful to have tea and treat ourselves amongst a small collection of green plants. M

Falling in Love with Fall

Learning is always the best thing to do in life. To learn all about fall and the things associated with this time of year was informative and enjoyable. Fall can be romantic and poetic with the change of colours & with the first frost and falling leaves. The season is all about the display of colors in nature & about fruits like Plump Pumpkins, Red Berries, Nuts, Ornamental Gourds, Rosy Pomegranates, along with Apples, Pears, decorative coloured cabbage & pretty-frilled leaves. Other things include welcoming wreaths, sturdy baskets, potpourri, wooden trugs, pottery bowls jugs, pitchers & terracotta pots.Copper and brass add charm to the season. Colours most used in Fall include burnt orange, green, golds, browns, reds, pinks, rich mauves and so on. I have given a finishing touch to this corner with the elements of Fall and it looked beautiful.                                      Thank you for your visit:):)
