Momentarily last week, there were a few hints of Fall, but no more. Where did it go? It's Summer again with temps in the high 90s.
I'm still in a bit of a fog after a 2-day migraine, while Mr. 2805 has spent 3 days at the NHRA drag races here this week end.
This afternoon, I put my Fall cocktail table together. You have seen my botanicals in apothecary jars before. Dried quince, pomegrantes, and ripen flowers.
Nature gives us so many pretty natural things to use. I keep these and use them over and over for Fall.
But something was missing, a pumpkin.
I called my local WM to see if they had pumpkins in yet. Yes, they said they had green and white ones too! I got so excited, dropped my pajamas and took off. Only one white one existed, but now it was mine.
I placed it on a stack of orange books which seem appropriate for this time of year.
I had scrunched up a fringed table scarf
a few days ago when the table complained of cool nights. That story has certainly changed. "Take this off! It's too hot".

Then I explained, "It's like wearing high heels. You look pretty, even if it hurts. Cowgirl up!"

Your tabletop vignettes showcase the richness of fall, with the glimmer of the crystal. Beautiful settings!
ReplyDeleteWow!!! Oh Honey, that is beautiful! I did the scrunched up table scarf Saturday as I redid the dining table for a dinner, and took it off, as it was not feeling very fall like then. This morning was a sweet 61.
ReplyDeleteGoing back to peek at your table again.
Cheers, Gee
Honey, what a pretty vignette! I love all of your natural elements. I'm slow in getting my decor together. It's too hot! Lol!
ReplyDeleteIt's looking quite festive and fall-ish at your place! Love the natural elements you add! Hugs, Linda

So very pretty and so much fun putting it all together. :)
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen your glass jars with the dried botanicals before. I love them and the tassel is a fun touch. Congrats on the white pumpkin, I haven't seen one here in my town this year.
ReplyDeleteYour fall decor is so beautiful and elegant! I adore white pumpkins.
ReplyDeleteDee
Everything looks gorgeous!! The white pumpkin was the finishing touch!
ReplyDeleteIt's all gorgeous and so inspiring. I saw one lone large white pumpkin in the grocery store the other day and didn't buy it because it was too expensive. Hmm, I wonder if it's still there.
ReplyDeleteI love fall and want to decorate at the first hint of autumns arrival.
ReplyDeleteThe white pumpkin is fun, unexpected whimsical.
Fondly,
Glenda
Wow Honey, I think I would have dropped my P.J.'s for a white pumpkin too! We just dont have any (yet)..everything is looking like fall and it looks great! Love the jars filled with awesome colors. Guess fall is here..
ReplyDeleteThe pictures give me the fall feeling on the inside but your right it's still too Hot in Texas. I just moved here from Columbus OH and I can't wait to experience a Texas fall..... I hope you guys get them here.
ReplyDeleteHi Honey, Your Fall decor is beautiful! I love the colors.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Honey, you have truly captured the essence of Fall in your tablescape. But I have to laugh because I've been known to run to WM with my pj's still on!!! We are finally having some of that cool weather...we're in the 70's during the day but as soon as the sun goes down we drop into the 50's to high 40's. Love it!!!
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty vignette! The natural elements in the apothecary jars are so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! I love white pumpkins!
ReplyDeleteYour Fall decor is absolutely gorgeous, and I love the white pumpkin!!!
ReplyDeleteHugs~~~ Daphne
Very pretty, Honey! I haven't gotten any real pumpkins yet, but in the next couple of weeks I hope to add some in to my indoor and outdoor decor.
ReplyDeleteLovely tablescape. I really like the stack of orange books with the white pumpkin. I don't have any pumpkins yet - time to get some!
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful table I love the use of the apothecary jars. They are filled with beautiful things, love the touch of the tassel.

ReplyDeleteToo funny, oh no I missed the cowgirl up at first read. Are you going to cowgirl up at Round Top this year????
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous cocktail table, Honey. I love the deep orange colors you chose, and the ivory colors in the pumpkin and tablecloth and scarf lend elegance! I'm thinking about doing over an old tea cart into a bar--we'll see how it goes.
