It is time, once again, to join the rest of the tablescapers for eye candy to get us through another week of beautiful tables.
This week my inspiration came from a platter, a pitcher and metal candlestick, all in green, which by now everyone knows is my favorite color. This is a very simple table this week, no frills, not even a tablecloth.
The pitcher and 16-inch platter were found taped together at Savers for only $6.99. As soon as I spotted these on the lowest shelf mixed in with flower pots I knew they were Bordallo Pinheiro before I ever turned them over. I have no clue what the patterns are on either piece, but know they are not a set.
I started with a rattan-like charger, added a white Gibson dinner plate, which were $2.99 for a set of 4. I then added a green salad plate, a birthday gift from my friend, Kathleen of Cuisine Kathleen a few years ago. I topped the salad plate with a plain white soup bowl. The soup bowls were 25¢ each at ARC Thrift Store a couple of years ago.
The glassware I have had for years, not sure where I bought it.
The green and white napkins have been around for eons, too.
The centerpiece started with green 17" tall metal candlesticks, found at Savers for $5.99 each, which is more than I usually like to pay, but, they were green! I used the platter, added those cute little white mini pumpkins with a handful of pecans...hey, I told you I would get mileage from those pumpkins!
Sorry the photos are so dark, it was a rainy day when I took most of them...it later cleared up and the sun came out.
Thanks for visiting my little mundane blog, In The Middle Of Nowhere, it is very much appreciated. If you leave a comment I will be sure to visit you!

Love the platter!! You did another lovely job on your table!! Perfect for fall without being overbearing with orange and gold. Love it!

Marigene! You know I love your Bordallo pieces. I have several Bordallo plates and I love them.. you see me using them all the time. LOL I keep hearing of Savers, but I don't think there is one around here. I need to Google that. Your table looks so pretty.LOVE green.
Marigene, your green decor is just beautiful! You have some great finds here!! Everything looks just lovely!!
I just love your green tablescape because green is my favorite color, too. Too bad we don't have a Savers store!
Okay... you have to know that I love Bordallo Pinheiro dishes! That pitcher is so unusual, must be old?
I know you go to savers but have never seen one. Is it a resale store?
Those candle sticks are quite unique and adds to the whole tablescape!
Thanks for coming to my Bunny Hop Party.
xoxo Bunny Jean
I love the bright glass. It would be fun to have enough room to have all the fun glassware I wanted.

Very pretty table. I love your platter and the pumpkins and pecans look great in it. I have never seen a Savers around here, sounds great.
I would have fought you over that platter. Gorgeous! I wish they had Savers around here.
Week after week, another beautiful tablescape. Thank you for sharing your talent with us. love, bbb
I love green too! And this table is really pretty. The Portuguese Bordallo Pinheiro pieces are wonderful! I wish I had some of that.
I just love green. Excellent post.

I am really starting to appreciate green more and more on the table. I looks so pretty against natural wood too. Beautiful platter!
Anything in green, well it just says "welcome" to me....I love this table,
~~Wendy
The greens are so pretty, and I'm loving green too. The platter is gorgeous! I love the white pumpkins. I have about 10 of them in a wire basket this year.
What a spectacular platter and pitcher. I keep hearing about these fabulous thrift stores so I went in one of ours the other day, no I went in both and there wasn't anything worth anything! How Wonderful.
I am green with envy with your green platter and those candlesticks! What a steal on the platter and pitcher!
Katherine
Very nice! What beautiful pieces you found! They add so much to your fall greens! Great table!

Very pretty, Marigene. I love that shade of green. Love the leaf platter....Christine
Charming!
great job spotting those treasures from Bordallo.. Love the green candlesticks too. I do love green myself. I haven't been to savers in a while, need to get by there.. Love your simple table.. the pumpkins look stunning on the new platter. Your table is so pretty.
What is this Savers place??? I'm going to have to Google that to see if there's one around here. You got some really terrific bargains!!! There are so many places I have never been that I find out about from reading others' blogs. I'm so happy!!! Your green addiction is shining tonight! I didn't think your photos looked so dark...they just seemed to reflect what was going on in the room, the ambiance of the moment. :-) Have a great night, Marigene, and have fun out there "In the Middle of Nowhere" this weekend! (You kill me with that title!!!)
Wow Marigene, I love it!! Your platter is so beautiful and I love the little pumpkins! So creative.

oh I love your new finds! That platter makes a beautiful centerpiece! great for fall!
You found yourself quite a treasure! The platter is so pretty! And, I can't remember ever seeing green candlesticks, so that was a good purchase, too. Green is growing on me (not literally) and I find myself gravitating to it, so I love your green fix!
Wonderful tablescape!
Pretty platter too :)

What a fun fall centerpiece and tablescape :))

What a great pitcher and your table in lovely. I am your newest follower. Stop by and visit me sometime.

You got such a deal on those platters! They are gorgeous. Love what you did with the centerpiece too!
So nice not to see Halloween ORANGE! :)
But I am going to have to do one table with the trad colors. What can I say, I have a lot of it!
I love the platter and pitcher! WOW! Your table is very pretty. Those white pumpkins are right up my alley!
Blessings My Friend,
Pitcher and platter envy! What a great find. You have created a wonderful greenscape. My table is dark tiger oak arts and crafts, which I love, but it too photographs dark in pictures. I've noticed that using a white table cloth brightens the pictures, so sometimes I use it when I'm taking pictures, but I also just love using the table showing the beautiful wood. While your pictures are sometimes dark, the green really pops. Thanks for posting! ~CJ
Wow! What a great finds. Love the pitcher and the platter.
How I wish, I could get to the US and enjoy shopping. I must be crazy if it happens.
Happy TS...
Hugs,

I think both the platter and pitcher are just fabulous! I would love to own them both. I love the way the platter works as the anchor for your fall centerpiece. The place setting is great too. I think I'm the only person in blogland without rattan chargers. Grrr.
And I hear ya about the lack of sunshine for pictures. I tried for several days to take a picture of something I wanted on my blog and finally gave up.
hmmm....I have just discovered you can paint glass & I had gotten a green plate form a thrift store and JUST TODAY- I painted it white...now after seeing how beutiful your table settings are I am thinking I should have left it green. SO beautiful!!
Sweet table setting, love the centre piece. I love white pumpkins! You will have to show up your decor on your beautiful hutch. Diane
I love the pecans with the white pumpkins. I hadn't thought of pecans. The greens are wonderful for a Fall table. Thanks for the inspiration. Cherry Kay
oooooh how pretty your greens are. Love the green leaf plates and that TDF platter!
What a lovely table. I love the leaf dishes especially! The colors are so pretty together.
What a great find on your pitcher/platter combo! They're so pretty! Thanks for stopping by my blog!

How can I not think of you when I see anything for the table that is green. Great finds and I do like the white pumpkins on the green platter.
Your table is awesome too. I love the green dishes and the cute little white pumpkins.
I love that pitcher and platter. What a great find!
I love your green and simple can be the best. The pumpkins and pecans look perfect perched on that plate (enough P's for you!) Is Saver's a food store? Thanks for visiting. I start at the bottom so I hadn't gotten to yours yet (don't know why I do this?)

I love the green leaf plates and that pitcher. Such a pretty fall table. I wish we had a Savers around here. Sounds like a place that I'd frequent.
Marigene, when I was putting together my post about my newly thrifted green plates, I immediately thought of you! LOL thanks again for joining TTF and have a fun weekend!
You sure know how to find the bargains! I love that shade of green it was my Mom's favorite color. Very pretty table.
Fun green details! My Bordallo pieces are about the only green dishes I have. Like you, I like to mix them with white.
Such a pretty table! The green is such a great color. I love that pitcher.
Very pretty! Lovin' the centerpiece, the white pumpkins have really caught my eye this year-enjoy:@)
Love the white pumpkins on the gorgeous green platter. Beautiful tablescape using those leaf plates.
Wish we had Savers!

Don't you just hate it when you are trying to take photos and it is dark? Love all the green going on and the pitcher and platter are so great. Joni
What a pretty table! I love the shades of green throughout your table. The pitcher and the platter are simply gorgeous and what a wonderful price for the pair of them.
