Harvest Kickstart!

Why did I title this post Harvest Kickstart? Because, I haven't created a tablescape in many weeks, and this one almost didn't happen. I don't know if I needed a Red Bull or what, but this tablescape was going SO slow! I should be was committed to doing it outdoors, and the weather was iffy all week. Anyway, it took me awhile to get back in the swing of things, so "kickstart" is just a nicer way of saying kick in the a**.

I (really) hope you enjoy!!!



Last week I was complaining how early the pumpkins were in stores and this week I bought one. Can you say "hypocrite"?

Yes, the filler in this mason jar is what you think it is.

When you have ten million little tomatoes, you get real creative! I'm wearing a necklace made from them.

I was so excited when I heard this month's challenge would be "Harvest". Months ago, I found these cute little pots at Goodwill for $1.49 each.

I bought one of each vegetable! Aren't they adorable?

Nothing says fall like sunflowers!

Quick story--I bought these napkins last spring at Tuesday Morning, but they only had two. I checked their other stores and no luck. Last week I found the matching tablecloth at Burlington Coat Factory. I bought it, thinking I would cut it down to a square and make two napkins from the leftover fabric. What I didn't know was the pattern was only on the border, so I had to cut out the middle of it. Next time, I am taking the item I'm considering OUT of the package in the store. If it isn't what I want, I'll just stuff it back in the package inside out like everybody else does. Just kidding. I'm too OCD to do that.

All dishes and glasses, salt & pepper shakers,

and metal pedestal bowl came from Goodwill

Placemats are from World Market

Flatware from SteinMart

Vera tablecloth from BCF

Some of the napkins are from (never mind, let's not relive that)
