Dinner at Deer Camp

I usually try to show off my tables - not camouflage them.  This tablescape is an exception...


This table was set for the hunters in my family.
A piece of camouflage fleece serves as a table cloth.  


 The plaque above sums up my relationship each fall.


You may be wondering why I put blue dishes on this table.   I didn't.  The color is called juniper, and it's a dark green with an undertone of blue.  The blue really shows up in some of the photos.  In others, the color is more true to life.


 I placed a few shells and a hunting knife on the table.



I placed camo shirts over the backs of the chairs.
  

I found these camo napkins at Hobby Lobby.  They are sold as bandanas and were $.99 each.  They sell other patterns and solid bandanas, also.


 I used Fiesta dishes in juniper, chocolate, shamrock and lemongrass in the place settings.


I will now use the fleece to make a tied blanket for one of the hunters I know.

Fall Fiesta

 I use Fiestaware in fall colors to decorate my kitchen for autumn.


Mini disk pitchers in seamist green, scarlet and marigold


Dinner plates in ivory and black with metal sunflower


Sunflower platter flanked by paprika and tangerine dinner plates 


Forgot I had a chocolate mini disk pitcher!

Autumn Leaves


A pack of pretty autumn-leaf themed napkins I got from a friend for my birthday (thanks, Bethany!) inspired my latest tablescape.



My fall decorations came out of storage for the occasion - leaves, pumpkins and scarecrows.



Fiestaware in shades of tangerine, paprika, lemongrass, shamrock, chocolate, marigold and sunflower were pressed into service, along with some green glass luncheon plates of unknown origin.




Love the carved wooden ghost pumpkin shown above!
