Time for Supper!


Welcome to another
Tablescape Thursday, hosted by Susan, of Between Naps on the Porch. Be sure to visit Susan's blog, to see her beautiful tablescape and for links to others.





We're back in the dining room for this week's tablescape. I started with an ivory tablecloth with textured squares. It's not too fussy, which is perfect for supper. Next, I layered burgundy red hemstitch placemats with gold lattice chargers and our everyday stoneware. The gold chargers really bring out the shiny gold in the plaid napkins. The napkin rings are actually braided ponytail holders I found at the Christmas Tree Shop for $1.00 a package.

I kept the centerpiece simple by adding fresh mums to a container, along with some faux grape leaves. The votive holders, napkins and placemats came from the Christmas Tree Shop and were featured in a recent Thrifty Treasures post.




What's for supper? Well, the weather is quite cool today, so I thought it would be a good day for some hearty beef stew.

Thanks for stopping by!
