It's Fruity on Harvest Time!

Today is Katheen's "Let's Dish" Harvest Challenge. Come and join us!

 

I have not taken down my pumpkins from the attic yet and I have not seen them in grocery stores or have just not been looking for them yet, so I decided to use fruits for my harvest table.

 

 The setting is in our formal dining room.

 I cut some yellow sunburst flowers from the garden and put them in a fruited vase.

 I placed Mr. Squirrel pitcher on a short Corinthian pedestal.

Tha tablecloth is by April Cornell. It has flowers and fruits.

 I just took different fruits and placed them in a lidded (with lid taken down) server, which I placed on a plateau, for my centerpiece.

I bought the squirrel pitcher from HG in Pensacola last year.

 I added a topiary on each side of the table. The pots match the tablecloth and the dishes.

 I borrowed the candles from the living room

 Antlers votive candle holders..... is this a buck?

 This heavy marble plateau has grapes too on its iron base.

 White promeganate ceramics that I bought from Williams Sonoma last winter.

 Then I remembered I had these fruit bowls that I bought from a junk shop in FL before we even moved here and I added them to the table.

 I have had these plate chargers hand painted with fruits, made out of tin, from when we lived in FL also. I won a dozen of them from Ebay. See? I was already a dish addict even before my blogging days:-)

I bought the ceramic pumpkin and artichoke (I think that's what they are, please correct me if I am wrong) napkin ring holders from New Orleans about a year or 2 ago.

Flatware were from Neiman Marcus or Horchow. They called them red but I think they are more rust in color and they blend really well with these place settings.

 

Clear glass goblets with pineapples and green wine stems were from TJ Maxx from a long time ago.

 Fanned dinner plates from West Elm, I just got them on line on clearance and Mottadeheh Vista Alegre Summer Fruits luncheon or salad plates from Ebay. I just love the scrolls on the edges and their colors and the different fruits.
