I bought this never been used embroidered tablecloth with matching napkins (which I didn't use today) at the very end of fall last year from Goodwill for $1.99 and napkins 59¢ each. I have been itching to use it. The pattern has been embroidered around the edges of the tablecloth, also. I pulled the orange and turquoise, two of the brightest colors, with a little of the autumn gold for the main colors. I kept the dishes to a bare minimum with such vibrant colors...simple is so much better in this case!
I used two solid colored napkins, bright orange and turquoise with beaded napkin rings, a gift from my friend Kathleen (Cuisine Kathleen). If you have never visited her fun blog, you really should take a moment to do so.
The buttercream charger is Pottery Barn Sausalito, the orange dinner plate is Better Homes & Gardens from WalMart.
The stemware is Noritake Sweet Swirl in aqua.
The centerpiece is a beautiful tureen given to me by our friends Paul and Denise. It is cream with an orange and brown transferware pattern. There is no backstamp on the bottom, so I have no way of knowing the maker or pattern. It has colors perfect for autumn.
I couldn't decide on candles or candle holders. First I tried large chunky black candle holders with pumpkin pillars, but felt they were too heavy for the table. Next I tried glass holders with aqua tapers, didn't like that, ended up with the glass holders and pumpkin pillars.

Thank you for taking the time to visit with me this week...y'all know I appreciate each visit and comment. Hope to see you again, next week.
I will be joining Between Naps On The Porch for Tablescape Thursday, The Thrifty Groove for Thrifty Things Friday and The Tablescaper for Seasonal Sundays.

Marigene, your tablescape is delightful! I would never have thought of aqua and orange but it looks good- and festive and yes, welcome to fall! I have a tablecloth similar to this I got for a wedding present. It actually was made by my friend's mom. Still use it!

What a beautiful tureen! I adore your embroidered cloth~ perfect for this time of year!
I am crazy about the turquoise and orange and how you have used it with very traditional pieces. How are you faring with the heat and drought?
A pretty table and I love the tablecloth and napkins -- what a great buy! Love the colors you pulled out of the tablecloth to set your table!
What a wonderful tablecloth -- a real treasure. I love the aqua you added into the colors. A perfect compliment.

Love the aqua incorporated into it all! Makes for a very fresh fall tablescape!!! I think you made the right choice with the glass candlesticks. With that delicate embroidery, it just seems right. You have VERY nice friends who gift you with things like that tureen!!! That bad boy is rockin' for fall!!! I still would like to know how so many people are able to find good stuff at GW. I have yet to find even ONE thing there!!!

The work that went into that tablecloth! I remember my sore fingers when I used to do a lot of that. Could never seem to use a thimble...which used to upset my Grandma. Your table is just lovey.
It helps get me in the mood to decorate and heaven only knows I needed this shove!!
I love those colors together...wouldn't have though of it...beautiful tablecloth!!
I'm always enchanted by vintage embroidered cloths. Yours is gorgeous. I think that you chose the perfect colors with the turquoise and coral. Thank you for sharing your lovely design. Cherry Kay

Your table looks wonderful! I love the colors you brought together.
So nice for the season.
Very pretty, I love your new tablecloth! So much detail and work for $1.99:@)
