Hello Everyone!
I hope you are all having a great week!
I thought I would share a few ways to add a bit of fall to your table setting....
I love fall, it is actually one of my favorite seasons...
I promise I only have a couple more fall posts to share with you....
Actually three more...
I bought the apple juice at Whole Foods, and it had an ugly tag on the outside.
So I wrapped the jugs in antique hemp linen towels. I just secured the towels with the twine and added a pressed maple leaf.
I love decorating with fruit.... especially during the fall months.
I wanted to do something fun with the apples and the vintage french pots....
So we cut out a portion of the top of the apple and added a votive candle.
To prevent the apple from turning brown you can add lemon juice to the edges of the apple.
I added a few figs to the table for color.
I used a variety of pressed leaves.
I scattered a few pots around the table and added some dried lavender to a few of my vintage green bottles.
I tried to keep it really simple...
How do you like to add a bit of fall to your dinner table?
On another note....
I want to thank all of you for entering my giveaway.

Jug looks FaBuLouS!*!*! And it probably works well to absorb any condensation too... Did you know that the "apple candles" will float in a bowl of water also??? ~ I'm sure you'll take off with that idea...

Beautiful table. I love how simple and elegant it is. ~Delores
beautiful!
everything in your home always looks just magical. even simple red apples :)
I think what I like about your table scapes, Maria is that you keep your centerpieces low, so that your guests can conversate. Oh , I know that's not a word, but you know what I mean. Love the cider bottle idea, I've been known to rip off the labels of those big jugs. Although some companies have beautiful ones, what you did by bringing the entire jug to the table is awesome. Have a wonderful day, tami
I love your table setting-you are a genious! I never would have thought to cover an ugly label like you did on the apply jug-genious I tell you :) thanks for sharing.
Jeanette

Big hugs,
Anne

O.k I did a Post about this Fabulous Giveaway on my blog with a Link back to your blog.~Cheers Kim xox
IF I Won the Cabbbages and Roses Fabric, I would creat for my Daughter the Bedroom of her Dreams. She is the kindest, sweetest, most caring and lobely little soul you have ever met. She studies Ballet, Jazz, Broadway, voice and Acting 12-15 hrs a week-while also maintaining all A's in th grade.
Her 10th B-day is next March and i would set to work transformaing her roominto the dreamy Haven she so rightlyfully deserves.
I have never had the budget to provide her with the room of her dreams as her older sister is on college, and all our savings were emptied caring for my elderly mother in a nursing home. This has been a blessing in disguise as everything in home our Garage Sale/ThriftShop/Craigs List or side of the road rescues. But you just cant fake fine fabric.
Please help me make her dreams come true!
Thank you so much for this opportunity to make a little girls (and her mother's) dream come true!
Truly yours
L. Kizer
I am not entering the giveaway because I do not know how to make anything with fabric but I would like to tell you how fabulous your recent posts have been...love it all. I am so inspired, especially after an unpleasant work week. Thank you...Dawn Suitcase Vignettes. Have a great weekend...
