Feeling Fall-ish

I wasn't going to join in with Tablescape Thursday this week, but after a quick jaunt up to Kohls this morning, I just had to show off my lovely bargain buys (you all know how I like a bargain). I went out walking around the neighborhood again this morning (boy can my leg muscles feel it!), and as a reward I allowed myself to run up to Kohls and see if I could find anything in the sales. Housewares were what I had in mind. . . . what with all this talk about fall and decorating, I am really in a 'nesting' kind of mood.

So, without further ado, I give you my 'Feeling Fall-ish' tablescape for this week :-)


Here's what my bargains were. . . . I bought 4 place mats, 4 yellow napkins, 4 terracotta napkins and 4 napkin rings. Wanna know the price?

The green woven placemats were $1.69 each! Not only can I use them for this time of year, but I also can see how well they will look for a Spring look, with daffodils and tulips (perhaps even for Easter).

The 4 terracotta napkins. . . . .79c each! You heard right, 79c. Keep that number in your head ;-)

The yellow napkins - take a guess . . . . . yup! 79c each. And the pretty napkin rings, you guessed it. . . . . 79c each!!!!

Everything else I already had in the house. The sunflowers are those I used last week (from the dollar store). The ivy plant usually sits on my kitchen counter, and the candles are usually on the kitchen windowsill or near the fireplace.

I tried following Susan's advice by not using a flash to take photos and used my tripod instead. It's hard to get the lighting right, but I see how not using a flash can make the room look warm and cozy in some shots.

Ok, so it's off to do housework for me. If you'd like to see more lovely tablescapes hop on over to Susan's blog at Between Naps on the Porch. Y ou won't be short on some great ideas for your table, whatever the occasion.
