Sunday Table 2

 

Keeping up with my goal to set a pretty Sunday table each week,

we put together our 2nd table {last Sunday we were still in NYC}.
This week, we had a Halloween theme going on. 

 

{The hat made another appearance on the Sunday table!}

Centerpiece - miscellaneous from the Halloween decoration box

Flatware, tablecloth & napkin rings -
Bed Bath & Beyond [last year for prom dinner]

Glasses - passed along to me [via my MIL]

Chargers - Hobby Lobby [several years old]

Dishes - Pottery Barn 2007
Orange napkins - Pier One

6 Halloween Salad Plates - {still looking for 2 more}

Black Damask: raven, spider, jack-o-lantern, skull

Hobby Lobby [this year]

Dinner: salmon & rice, cooked veggies, edamame, fresh fruit, &
homemade pumpkin chocolate chip cookies for dessert.
 

Sunday Table 1

 

One of my 2012 goals was to set a beautiful table each Sunday!

Since this is October -- and this is the first tablescape I'm posting --

you might get a feel for just how unsuccessful I have been with this specific goal!

But hey, there is still one quarter of 2012...so I can still set several pretty tables!

Right?

 

 

We have a square table, which for some unknown reason, I always think

our table is particularly hard to decorate.  But it really isn't!

Rectangle placemats overlap, so I'm a little limited to round placemats and chargers. 

I put a charger on a cake stand for the centerpiece.

Candle sticks were from Hobby Lobby several years ago.

Velvet pumpkins I bought last year.

 

I always keep an eye out for 90 inch round tablecloths.

{It is SO HARD to find pretty square tablecloths!}

This one looks like burlap, but it isn't -- it has a pretty weave,

and is really rather soft.

I found it at Bed Bath & Beyond.

 

I love it when people post where they found their table treasures.

Let me see if I can remember where mine came from:

Flatware, stemware, tablecloth, and salad plates - Bed Bath & Beyond

Chargers and napkin rings - Pier One

Solid color plates - Tai Pan Trading {last year}

Napkins - Tuesday Morning

 

Cheers to working on goals -- even last quarter!
