It is that time of week, again...time for Tablescape Thursday with Susan of Between Naps On The Porch. The weeks are just flying by. Thank you, Susan, for hosting my favorite meme each week. Please make sure you stop by BNOTP to see what the other talented ladies and gentlemen have put together this week.

I knew I would be doing a very simple autumn table this week, but wasn't sure what I would be using other than the wheat dishes I have been collecting the past year. These were found literally piece by piece at several area thrift stores.
I searched the linen closet for a tablecloth and settled on a vintage gold with a little fringe. Finding napkins to go with everything wasn't quite so easy. I have none that are the right shade of gold so ended up with some that have fall leaves.
The pattern is Autumn Harvest from the Ever Yours line by Taylor, Smith & Taylor. They were made between 1959 and 1965. I haven't been fortunate enough to find the saucers, salad plates or soup/cereal bowls. My search is ongoing for the missing pieces!
The cups are unusual in the way the inside is colored, where most are just white.
My friend, Diann at The Thrifty Groove sent me a box filled with fall things a few weeks ago. There were tea towels, little leaf dishes and leaf salt/peppers. I am using the leaf dishes as votive holders. Diann, thank you so much for adding to my fall dishes...I have been enjoying them so much.
I put the centerpiece on a pedestal as it needed a little height.
Thank you so much for taking the time to read and comment on my blog. I appreciate each and every one of you. I hope to see you here next week, too!

So fun to see a fall table from my Vermont friend. We are past peak but they will still come in droves to see the dead leaves!! Another Terrific Tablescape. Love, Brenda
Another beautiful table, it just says fall so perfectly! Very nice gift from Diann, perfect for the table!
What a perfect china pattern for fall! Those cups with the colored interior ARE special. And your amber glasses and candlesticks look great with the dishes, too!
Love those dishes Marigene! Great pattern and I hope you find more. How cute are the leaf dishes and S & P that Diann sent. Looks great with the table. I may see what I can dig out of my Mom's cabinets and set a table this week!!
Hugs,
Linda
Which reminds me, I haven't seen those OTHER leaf dishes! :)
Very fallish, and yes matching the napkins is sometimes a pain! Love those amber glasses. I picked up a few at Savers that time, I haven't used them yet. Maybe in November after I use all this Halloween stuff!
Lovely gift from Diann, she is a good thrifter like you!
I think part of the fun is in the hunt for special things. You are lucky to have found enough pieces to actually do a table...love those cups! The little leaf dishes make great votives. I think it will look like fall at my house this week too!
Loving the fall theme! Another great table!
Beautiful table - love fall colors. How unique the inside of the cups, like them much better than plain white! If you were closer I would swipe the centerpiece!!
I would have wanted to snatch up those wheat dishes too! They are perfect for fall. My mother has some that remind me of them. I need to study them to see if it's even the same pattern.
You picked a perfect tablecloth to bring out the wheat, I think, and those glasses are the perfect shade to go with it to. I would love some that hue.
All in all, just a pretty fall "wheat" tablescape all the way around!
Very pretty table ... love the dinnerware ... thanks for sharing.
Nicely done...come link up to centerpiece wed on my blog today.

Mimi, I really like your wheat dishes- the colored interior of the cups is so cool. And I like those multi-hued leaf plates, too. I think I like them more than my solid rust-colored ones... Thanks for coming by to leave a comment!

I know somewhere I knew someone with those dishes. They are so familiar. Such a pretty table for fall.
Pretty little fall table. I really like the napkins. My grandmother had some dishes very similar to these. Takes me back to her house.

I have a few of these dishes too, and I just want to eat up the cups I love them so much! YUMMY! I am always wanting to do fall picnics with them. I love the candlelit scene on your table. Lovely!
Well, you know I love your Whitehall!! How can you tell the difference between Colony and Indiana Glass? Mine are two different kinds but I didn't think one might be Colony. I love your whole table! Love that china too!!
Those iced tea glasses are so beautiful and I love how you arranged your napkin -- just a lovely warm and inviting fall table. Joni
Mimi, this is so pretty. I just love those heavy, heavy glasses. The color is gorgeous and they appear to be huge. What a pretty fall table.
Beautiful fallscape, Mimi. Perfect pattern for fall.
Hi Mimi,

I love your table! Those cups are just great! I agree that it is more fun to collect china piece by piece, and makes for a more interesting table, too. Thanks for sharing yours!
Am drooling with your leaf plates.

This table brings back memories from my childhood. I thoroughly enjoyed the moment. Thank you for sharing your charming design. Cherry Kay
You've made Texas look very fallish. It sounds like temperatures there have been very pleasant lately so you are in keeping with the season.
Mimi, Thanks for visiting! Loved those dishes, my Grandmother had some that looked like that when I was growing up. The blue and gold color looked beautiful together.
Have a wonderful weekend!
Sandy
