"Autumn Pears"...for an Autumn Table

*

*

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

*

As many of you know, I am smak-dab in the middle of doing a little autumn sprucing at my place.  It's coming along nicely and I hope to have a few photos to share with you soon.  In the meantime, I thought I would revisit an autumn tablescape that I did last year.  I hope that you enjoy!!!

*

(Just a little note:  I hope that you don't mind revisiting a past post.  For those of you who do tablescapes, you know the work that goes into creating a pretty table...as well as the work of creating a blog post.  It's nice to be able to enjoy the "fruit of one's labor" once again!  Thank you for indulging me!)

"Autumn Pears"...for an Autumn Table

*

*
Here we are in my french country dining room.  Please do come in!
*

*

I have used autumn pears in so much of my autumn decor this year. At the beginning of the season I created a three tiered centerpiece for the dining room table filled with autumn's bounty. I decided to use this centerpiece for an autumn tablescape and continue the theme of "autumn pears".
*

*

The table is dressed in golden yellow, pear green, and warm browns...the colors of autumn pears!
*

*
The Centerpiece...
*

*

The Centerpiece was created using three tiers of glass pedestal cake plates. A tall, gold pillar candle sits on the top layer...along with a few wood pods and three miniature pumpkins. The middle layer is filled with autumn pears. Autumn berries, woody seed pods, nuts, and two yellow lovebird figurines decorate the bottom layer.
*
*A few wood acorns and autumn pears are scattered about on the table runner. I just love this beautiful table runner!  It is the prettiest shade of goldenrod yellow and it has white vines and leaves embroidered on each end! A pair of vintage Roseville pottery candleholders sit on either side of the three tiered centerpiece.

The Place Setting...
*

**
The same color theme of golden yellow, pear green, and warm brown form the layers of the "autumn pear" place setting.
*

**
My latest treasure find...salad/dessert plates featuring pears! I found these pretty plates on Ebay...it was love at first sight!
*
The pattern: Golden Pears by Julia Bullimore (1998).
*
This set of four plates were made exclusively for Crate & Barrel.  Each plate features a different type of pear.
*

I love this shade of pear green and the gold gilded leaves!

A white ironstone dinner plate from my every day dishes.

*
I found these beautiful leaf plates on sale at JC Penneys at the end of summer. They are the same shade of green as the pear salad/dessert plates. I love the way the leaf plate frames out the place setting! A brown charger plate with embossed autumn leaves on the rim completes the place setting.
*

*

I love how the green, white, and brown colors of the place setting look together!

A plump "red" autumn pear!

The flatware is "Brahms" by Oneida.

The stemware.

I layered two dinner napkins. The gold napkin matches the table runner and has the same white vines embroidered on it. The green and tan plaid napkin brings more of an informal feel to the place setting! A wood napkin ring with embossed autumn leaves pairs nicely with the charger plate.
