My inspiration for this tablescape was this plum colored tablecloth and my new chicken statue.
I was inspired by the colors in this tablecloth-the deep plum background, the olive green which works well in my home, a pinch of clay white, turquoise, golds and rusts! It had all the right fall ingredients!
I found these new clay white dishes at Cracker Barrel on clearance. I was lucky enough to get 6 dinner plates.
I used my Pier 1 Import salad plates to layer with and the ivory handled flatware is from Horchow called Sophia.
And my gold colored napkins seemed to be the best pick to unify the look!
These are the only two bread and butter plates they had left- I just loved the designs on these.
I found the candle votives at Pottery Barn and since they were done with the chicken wire I had to have them! Last year I purchased a few pieces from the Pottery Barn Chicken Wire group, so I knew these were mine the minute I saw them!
I took apart a silk sunflower and used them to line the bottom of the glass votive inside the chicken wire. The green color of the votive seemed to be disappearing on the dark tablecloth so I decided they needed something to make them pop!
This chicken is from One King's Lane. I thought it was unique and reasonably priced. If you've never heard of them go to their web site (you have to create an online user account to view their products- but there is no fee involved)
(If you use my E-mail as a referral I will be given a one time credit from them for a future purchase-and you can do the same for yourself with anyone else that uses you as a referral)
*See my e-mail at the bottom of this post.
Early evening is settling in and I have lit the candles.
The green pressed glass dessert pieces were something I found on line at Dillards. They reminded me of glassware from the early 70's and I liked the swirly vine design they have.
The chicken was elevated on a square woven basket and I added a little embellishment with some silk sunflowers.I was intrigued with the textural design on the plates and the chicken wire and how well they worked together!

To further this theme I've chosen a recipe at Epicurious

New dishes!!! Are you getting funny looks when you bring them home??? It's just beautiful !!! I love the recipe too!
ReplyDeleteLiz that table cloth is to die for I love the colors of fall and the dishes are so charming! The rooster is very stately Love roosters!
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful, Liz! When I saw the title of the post I was hoping plum would be one of the included colors. It is so pretty, but fairly elusive when shopping for it. The gold color napkins are the perfect choice to pick up that color in the tablecloth design! I didn't know that Cracker Barrel had dishes and such. There is one about 20 miles from our home. I'll have to check them out. Let me know if you want me to get more bread & butter plates to complete your set if they have them. Very clever to pull apart the faux sunflower and put the petals around the votives!!! VERY clever! This is a wonderful fall table!
ReplyDeleteHi Liz,
ReplyDeleteThe plums and violets really work well for fall, don't they? What a great find on those dishes!! I love them, I always forget about Cracker Barrel because I don't have one close by. You are very clever to put the sunflower in your votive, and you're right, I love how the plate and votive designs compliment each other. I usually check out the items on One King's Lane, don't recall ever seeing your chicken, but he's a cutie. Hope you're doing ok, great job with your 'scape!!
That is one amazing chicken! I love these colors together, and your find at Cracker Barrel are a true treasure! Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful table!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful tablecloth...and tablescape!

I am so in love with those plates! I also love the whole theme. I have been admiring green glasses on other tables today -- yours are not exception -- love the green sherbet cups. Joni
ReplyDeleteI am back just to say thank you for all the sweet comments! And I am glad you enjoyed Elaine's Wonderful World!
