It's Hunting Season, 2016

I created this hunt scene tablescape for my son, Jed and his wife, Becky and her brother, Brad, who are avid hunters. Hunting season just started in Florida and out they already went this weekend. Good luck to you all!

I like using my animal print table runner, that I bought from Z Gallerie many years ago, probably my most favorite buy from there. I love the shape!

My antler was a gift from my son and DIL, that they cleaned and dried from one of their hunted deers. Get me a bigger one next time, Jed and Becky!

I alternated 2 different napkin rings

I placed an acorn place card on each plate, just for an added touch.

I started decorating for Fall at home too, showing the foyer table here.

I am out of walls with still so many more pictures to hang and now just stored under the guest room beds, but I thought I would just put this hunt scene picture on the buffet table for now, to go with the theme.

I bought this pair of horn candle holders from a friend in Natchez who moved away before us.

I think this fox is really cute.

I have hunt scene salad plates but I still have not been able to get to them, still buried in the garage, but for now, my elk (or are they moose?) plates will do.

A woodsy centerpiece

Animal print plate chargers. I had 2 sets of this but I sold a set to Candy, another blogger before we moved from MS.

Dark brown bamboo flatware set.

For the tea set, I opted for my Bavarian Tirschenreuth set with mostly brown pattern.

And that's it, folks! I hope you enjoyed my fun table like I do. Thank you for your visits and for the hostesses for these parties I always link to. You are very much appreciated.

Does Grazing the Table

We have 2 birthday celebrants in the family on October 7, my son Jed who turns 41 (Geez, I am getting old, lol) and John's daughter's son Wren who turns 4, so I thought I will set this table for them. My son is a hunter and Wren loves animals.

Happy Birthday, Jed and Wren. Love you both!

Here is Jed with his twin nieces. He really spoils them and they just adore him!

And this is Wren with his newborn baby brother. Aren't they just the most precious and cutest boys?

And here are the does grazing the table. I hope the table is masculine enough.

My friend from Natchez, Brenda, gave me these candle holders last Christmas. They are perfect for Fall and I love them.

I used our dark brown bamboo flatware set.

Brown and beige American Atelier dinnerware in "Mehndi" pattern. The plate chargers are wooden and oval from Horchow. I have had them for several years now.

I bought the really heavy iron rustic deer from Grandmother's Buttons in St. Francisville, MS a few years ago. They were 90% off and I think John and I bought them all, lol. I just spread them all over the table.

The amber "iris" goblets were from Horchow from years ago and I bought the wine glasses with autumn leaves from the Dollar Store.

I was organizing the garage and one of the bins' labels showed that my orange Bavarian Tirschenreuth teapot is there so I took it out. I like using it in the Fall because of its colors. It did not have any matching sugar and creamer servers so I just used my white medallion ones. For the tea cups (since I have not found my matching ones yet), I just used Polish pottery with predominantly orange in colors and 2 postale mugs with orange and also used my hunt scene cup and saucer.

Thank you so much for your visits. I also like to thank the hostesses for the parties that I am participating in.

Hunt and Jungle Scene in the Breakfast Nook

It is still hunting season here so I decided to do a hunt scene tablescape before it is over.

At first, I wasn't sure which plate charger to use, the round black leather or the square copperish alligator ones and you can see which one won.

The salad plates come in different patterns. They are from Wood & Sons, made in England.

American Atelier "Mehndi" dinner plate stoneware, either from Amazon or Overstock.com.

I used tiger (or it that zebra?) and leopard printed placemats and napkins.

Game animals etched crystal wine glasses, some of my favorite finds from Ebay.

I also used dark amber or brown water goblets that I bought from Horchow several years ago. For the centerpiece, I added the antler that I begged the owner of a bow and arrow shop in FL to sell to me, when I bought my son his birthday present 2 years ago. He did not sell it but he gave it to me for free, which is even better.
