Tablescape Thursday: Indian Summer


Welcome to Tablescape Thursday, my favorite meme. Susan at Between Naps on the Porch graciously hosts this event each week for us.


~~~
This past weekend the weather was great, so I set the table out on the porch. The Indian summer didn't last long, though, as we're having a Nor'easter right now, and as Yukon Cornelius says, "It's not fit for man nor beast out there."



I love these Heisey cornucopia candleholders, and I think I've used them in every fall tablescape I've done this year.

An apple, turned into a tealight holder...


All you need is a drill, with a 1 1/2 inch paddle bit attached, and voila, you have a tealight holder!










Dinner plates: Dollar Tree
Placemats, goblets, napkin rings, pumpkin in centerpiece, and leaf bowls: Wal-Mart
Amber taper candles: Colonial Candle
Napkins: April Cornell
***Don't forget that Colonial Candle is offering my readers a discount of $15 off an order of $60 or more from now until the end of the year. Just use promo code MAMAISON15 at checkout.

  17. You've help make autumn last a little longer with your table today. I can almost taste the apples and pumpkin that you might be serving on those cute plates. I have made the apple tea lights before and loved them. Thanks for sharing it all.
