~~Autumn Enchantment~~

**

*

Hello my friends...I hope you're having a fabulous day!
*
Ahhhh...Autumn!

*

The leaves have turned color. The air has turned brisk...and
 once again I find myself bedazzled by the beauty, the charm,
 and the magic of the season!

*
*

~~Autumn Enchantment~~
*

**
 Will you join me?
*
 Let's just sit awhile and savor the sweetness of the season!
*
*

*
There is nothing like a warm fire on a cool autumn's eve.
*
I decided to set a table for two in front of the living room
 fireplace! The mantel, dressed in its best fall finery, would make
 a beautiful backdrop for my autumn table.

*
*

**
*
 Dinner by the fireside...
*

*

* at a table with a view.
*
 Ahhhh...Autumn Enchantment!
*
*

*

The autumn table is layered in rich, flowing fabric.
* 

A long, cream colored, tone-on-tone damask cloth drapes
 down the sides of the table...spilling over onto the floor. An antique
gold colored cloth is layered on top...bringing to the table...the
 deep, rich colors of autumn.
*
*

*

A table in rich hues of gold, burnt orange, and red.
*

I love the colors of the season.

 Sooo warm, sooo rich, sooo inviting...
*
Autumn Enchantment!
*
*

*

I love how the rich, autumnal colors of the table look against
 the living room's olive green walls...so beautiful!
*
*

*

Autumn birds....so charming...so enchanting.
*

I decided to carry the bird theme of the dinnerware into
 the table's centerpiece.
*
*

*

*
*

*

*
*

*

A wire cloche with the sweetest little bird finial is
 the centerpiece's main attraction.
*
I love the old, distressed gray finish of the cloche.  A gold
 candle and autumn berries decorate the cloche...all sitting atop
 a silver pedestal dish. I used a candle ring at the base of the cloche
 filled with autumn leaves, berries, and acorns. The colors
 coordinate perfectly with the dinnerware.
*

This vintage bird figurine belonged to my husband's
 grandparents. When I was looking around for items to use in
 the centerpiece, I spotted this pretty bird that I had on a shelf in my
 living room. He looks very similar to the birds on the dinnerware. So
 awesome! He is sitting on a small, silver footed tray...along with a
 few old skeleton keys tied with a pretty ribbon. Three burnt
 orange votive candles also grace the table.

The Place Setting...
*

*The dinner and salad plates are manufactured by Royal
 Stafford and are called, "Decoupage".
*
 I found this beautiful set of dishes at TJ Maxx last year.
  It was love at first sight! I fell in love with the rich colors and
 the sweet birds. They really do set an enchanting autumn table...don't
 you think? The brown charger plate has pretty oak leaves dancing
 around the rim...found at Walmart. I decided to use amber
 colored goblets with this place setting...sooo pretty!

An autumn candlelight dinner for two...
*

*
Is there anything more enchanting than that?
