"The Autumn Leaves Drift by the window
The Autumn Leaves of Red and Gold"
This wonderful song was one of the first
(and only) songs I learned on the piano
Lyrics by Johnny Mercer
It remains a favorite this time of year
I found these Maple Leaf cup and saucers at the thrift shop and knew they would make a great fall tablescape
These place mats were a thrift shop find. I used a black plate as a charger, a rust colored salad plate and topped with the cup and saucer!
The flatware is champagne colored from World Market.
The flatware is champagne colored from World Market.
I used a black napkin with the leaf napkin ring,
Black stemmed wine glass and a small black bowl complete the place setting
I am really love the color combination
I made a centerpiece of faux fall leaves in a basket
and sprinkled leaves down the table with fall colored acorns
and pumpkins and tea lights
and pumpkins and tea lights
I added an acorn & fall leaf salt and pepper shakers

PS I LOVE IT!!!
Linda, tablescapes certainly are your strong suit. Another winner. Love that table scatter!
Wow, Linda. That's a gorgeous table setting. Fabulous job! Everything goes so beautifully together.
Have you ever heard Eva Cassidy sing Autumn Leaves? Oh my, it brings tears to my eyes. Google it so you can hear her.
Take care. Thanks for sharing such loveliness. Susan
Hi Linda, I love that song too! The centerpiece you created is so clever. I love how it looks like the leaves blew out of the basket. Dianne
You know I'm a sucker for music and I'd love to have a song play for each post I do! I have your son running in my head now! I love your dishes! Those placemats were a great find- You have a good eye!
I really like this color combination too Linda. It's very crisp looking with the black. I also am really liking your salad plates. I looked (didn't buy) at some very similar at Dillard's just this past weekend. They were part of a Tuscan collection they sell. I love the boarder and color of yours. Lovely job on the loosely arranged centerpiece, it's very inviting!
What a warm and inviting tablescape! Just gorgeous!
Hi Linda, I used to play that song on the piano too and I love it. I think I may still have the sheet music. Now I'll be humming it for the rest of the night! Love the cup and saucer and the centerpiece too! Enjoy the fall weather. Linda
Great centerpiece and table all together. Great idea of the scatters. Love the colors and the feel. xo marlis
Your table setting is the perfect compliment to those lyrics! You just have me speechless with your "thrift finds." I think you should have a show on HGTV!
love the way you put this together! It is so colorful and cheerful. The cups just make the design.
Ooh I am loving those dishes! This table looks so perfect for autumn Linda! I want to just sit down and enjoy a hot cup of apple cider at this table! I hope all is going well with you and your mom. Take care of yourself. Thanks for joining TTF. :-)
Cute setting Linda! Love the colors and your new fall dishes:@)
those salt n pepper shakers are too cute. How lucky to find the leaf dishes. Just perfect for the season. Love your fall header!
I think that it's the perfect Fall table setting. I saw those little glass acorns at the store and now I know what they are for. It all looks great!
Your table looks perfect for fall, Linda. Love it :)

Pretty table! I love the maple leaf cups & saucers...so pretty & definitely eye catching. Your centerpiece is great too...love how it seems to sparkle.
I like the maple leaves cups and saucers too. Very pretty. Happy birthday to your mom.
Linda , your fall tablescape looks awesome! I did not know you played the piano. I always wanted to play and sing, but I am not musically inclined at all. I can not carry a tune in a bucket. LOL
Oh, wow! I was just listening to Nat King Cole singing that song!!!!!! I especially love to hear it this time of year! I should learn to play it on the piano. I need something fun like that. That and Barry Manilow's "When October Goes". So great for the season! Your dishes are so unique and so pretty! The leaf motif is just what the doctor ordered!!!
You always have the most beautiful dishes for your table! I love the pop of black with the Autumn colors! I'm putting together a 'sisters' blog list today! Sweet hugs!
You've created a lovely autumn tablescape. The tealight candles make it extra special!
Great autumn table...those maple leaf cups/saucers are the perfect topping for your place setting. They would be nice for serving soup, too. Love all the little acorns!
Hi Linda! Oh, your table looks awesome! Love the dishes. I'm so sorry I missed this post ~ I was at the clinic getting "real"
Be a sweetie,
Shelia :)
Linda, your thrift shop finds make a beautiful fall table. Love that song, too! Glad you are getting in a little tablescaping while at your mom's. ;-)
Very festively fall! Beautiful!
