Weekly Table Change, Black & White

Gathering some of my this-and-that to create a neutral Fall table setting for the week.
 Here's what I used.
 Leather placemats from JCP outlet, $2 each. I know...rrrrrrr!
 Woven bamboo chargers. I found these last Saturday at the Maple Leaf Fest in Whittier. I got 6 for $2 !!
 My pewter dinnerware set of 6 dinner plates, salad plates, bowls, and mugs with white pottery liners. I got this set at a neighborhood garage sale in Barrington, IL many years ago for $30.
 Grapevine napkin rings. White ceramic escargot dishes. We love escargot.
 My hammered finish Cambridge flatware works with everything.
 White teapot on warming trivet, cow creamer, heart ramekin for soft butter and covered bowl for sugar or jam.
 Cow salt and pepper set sits in front of a black and white gingham check Fall pumpkin from Target.
 A Longaberger wrought iron candle stand usually sits on the kitchen window sill. This week it's a centerpiece.
 A Longaberger pillar candle holder works perfectly as a wine caddy. I love the pinecone and acorn motif.
 I used the Longaberger wrought iron stand again, but this time with the metal tray to hold the teapot and cow creamer.
It also has a Fall relief pattern.
A use what you have tablescape!

Absolutely love this tablescape! You did a great job and what a buy on those bamboo chargers - they are a great find! Thanks for sharing..

Alycia Nichols said...

You got six of those fabulous chargers for just $2??!?!?!! Wow! What a great buy! You really cashed in, sister!!! They are great! I find the escargot plates very interesting. I have only seen those once in a restaurant many years ago. As I recall, I liked the escargot. I don't think I've had it since then, though. Hmmmm...you've got my brain churning! Have a wonderful weekend!

You table is WONDERFUL!!! The candle holder, tray and pillar holder are just off the charts. The contrast of dark and light just put this table in a class of its own!

Oh, I love your pewter dishes! What a wonderful table you've set!

Tricia said...

Those woven chargers and pewter plates are fabulous! I have a candleholder much like yours, but I've never thought to add glass hurricanes. Thanks for the idea!

The pewter, against the white stoneware, against the rattan and the leather mat....brilliant choices! This is a great tablescape! Thank you for sharing your charming design. Cherry Kay

Yvonne @ StoneGable said...

Count me in! Do you have an extra space at the table. I LOVE escargot!!! When I saw those darling escargot plates I got so excited!
You set a very elegant table. I love your mix of a touch of natural... the napkin rings and the chargers. It really warms up the whole table.
You have quite a stylish touch!

I like the blend of the contemporary with the traditional in this classic black/white table setting. Those leather place mats are awesome! Great frugal find on the chargers, too. Visiting from the Style Sisters' party.
