Fall Birds Tablescape

Last Monday, I set the table for 6 even though it was just the two of us eating. I thought it would look better with the whole table set up. Am I crazy creating more work for myself? Am I the only one who does a crazy thing like that? LOL!

I used Royal Stafford's "Birds" dishes. I am not really sure if that is what the pattern is officially called but that is what I call them. I love their warm colors and I think they are perfect for Fall.

For a centerpiece, I gathered a few birds I could easily find in the house and I borrowed the maple tree from the other kitchen table. I went outside to cut out some yellow forsythia from the garden, added a few candles and that's it!

I bought this green bird on a column from TJ Maxx, I think, a while back.

same thing with the cockatiel, although they were bought at different times.

I love the bright yellow forsythia flowers against the dark colored jar/vase.

For a more formal look, I layered 2 round tablebloths, a longer brown underneath and a beige on top. I love these crinkle cut material, so light, no need to iron and they just flow. And I found a very reasonable on line source for the tablecloths, runners and napkins. Check it out if you are interested. http://www.tableclothsfactory.com/ I used to have a hard time finding large round tablecloths but they have a lot there so I was so happy to have found them. I bought a lot of different colors.

We had chicken Caesar salad and grilled tuna steak.







I bought the wooden charger plates from Walmart.
