I have a real hard time getting rid of all the pumpkins and gourds I so carefully chose for their color and texture back in September, but now that we’ve moved into a new season their time is past. At least that’s true for most of them.
I couldn’t resist using some of the white pumpkins one more time. Roses were on special at the grocery and the red ones seemed a good way to introduce a little holiday spirit. Once the pumpkins and roses were on the table the rest took care of itself.
White dishes are always good because they are a great background for most any food. My love of color prohibits everything being white so these very fun salad plates add pattern and color.
If you are ever looking for those touches that add a little extra pizazz, you can always count on Anthropologie as a great resource.
This table is round meaning that rectangular placemats don’t fit quite right so turning them lengthwise is an easy solution.
At first clear stems were on the table, but the colors in the small plates kept jumping out at me, and I remembered the blue stems I’m holding for my daughter until she is ready for them. Since they are here, they might as well be used!
I can’t say the Christmas bug has bitten me yet, but maybe the touches of holiday red will help it kick in.
i so enjoy your visit and the comments you leave behind

Gorgeous and so elegant looking!!!
It is hard to let a lovely season go and you did a wonderful job of combining the two at your table. Love your color combinations.
I have a hard time getting rid of the pumpkins too. It was just yesterday that I put mine in the composter. It was REALLY difficult for me to toss them because I grew them all from seed (and they were so darn cute).
You might get some more by accident depending on where the compost ends up.
That happens frequently with tomatoes. lol
Pretty, pretty and very pretty again!
Easy, too!
Such a creative table! No real decorating for Christmas around here yet. Got to bring down the boxes…soon…
I’ve done all Ike gonna do and it isn’t much!🌲
The tablescape is wonderful. It’s amazing how white pumpkins can seamlessly go from a fall design to a lovely winter one.
I have a real thing for pumpkins and would be happy to have them all year.
Your table is so rich and elegant. Cobalt and red roses, sigh. Love those plates too. I could buy everything Anthro sells.
Clever to accent with your pumpkins. I had several heirloom large pumpkins and the little ones like yours. Currently they are sitting on the back porch. I had a friend that threw hers across the street from her house by a pond and they took root in the nice sunny location. I think I am going to try that on a vacant lot down my street. Wouldn’t it be a fun surprise to have pumpkins next year. If I had sun I’d do it in my yard.
Thanks for your visit. We have to get together someday. I appreciate your sweet comment and visit.
I think pumpkins must be pretty easy to grow. I had one get a little mushy a couple of years ago and several months later I had a vine growing.
Your tables are always full of unexpected and pleasant surprises Linda! Very creative!! My pumpkins really lasted this year too, and I did not take the time to preserve them with bleach as recommended…it’s always so hard to toss them, I might just have to get out the spray paint…the anthro plates are gorgeous!
