AUTUMN SPLENDOR
by: Lynne Adams
Autumn Leaves
Bright and vibrant
Warm sun and bright blue sky
Chilly Breezes blow
Golden Leaves from Heaven fall
to ride the wind and swirl around
Red, Orange, Yellow, Green and Brown
Colors of Beauty slowly come down
A symphony of Autumns Gifts sing
From God with Love to You and Me
Hi everyone, I have missed you all so very much. It's been a little while since I have had a chance to do any posting here at Beyond the Portico, but I haven't forgotten about you all...while I've been busy planning my little ones birthday party, attending a ladies retreat and seminar in Branson, Missouri and enjoying festivities at my church's annual fall festival...I did manage to put together a little tablescape for your enjoyment.
I found these beautiful dinner and salad plates a few months back at GW for $5.00...I absolutely love them and I just knew they would work perfectly for this AUTUMN SPLENDOR table...
Don't you just love the colors and design...
...for the centerpiece I used a large basket of faux fall leaves and a few mini pumpkins, flanked by red and orange mosiac candle sticks....
...to carry the leaf theme throughout the table, I topped each plate with a hand inscribed paper leaf doily place card...
I also used a paper leaf doily as a coaster under each "leafy" goblet...these doilies were very inexpensive and I think give the table a finished look. I took a ton of pictures so I will stop talking and let you enjoy.
I am really loving how this table turned out...how about you?...
and now a little golden glow...
