Tablescape Thursday~Fall Party

I am joining Susan at Between Naps on the Porch for Tablescape Thursday and the Fall Party at Rhoda's Southern Hospitality...Thanks for hosting dear ladies..

I am not fully decorated for Fall...just bringing out things little by little.
I won't put out the Halloween for another week or so...

Here's my front door...



The acorn bells were a gift from a friend from a Holidays forum on GWeb, Kay..:)





This lantern is from WSonoma Outlet...last year..



She will greet you as you come through the foyer..she can hold some treats in her apron...



I will have to catch up with the rest of you who are fully decorated...I am still trying to find all the Fall bins in the basement!!

Tonight's table.."Leaf" me alone... :)

The tablecloth is from Portugal..a gift from my sister about 35 years ago..It came with solid napkins in 3 colors..I have them..one is mangled..someone left it too close to the candle at a dinner party..{you know who you are! :)}



I used brown round mats, burnt orange plate, ($ Tree)

That amber bubble glass pitcher I got in the Pfaltzgraff clearance center 2 yrs ago...it was marked 24.99, but I got it for .96 cents!!
I bought 4 and gave them away...



The leaf plate and butter spreader is from Pfaltzgraff outlet...



The fall colored napkins have leaves on them, and I wired faux squash and leaves to a napkin ring..



The orange leaf is Chantal..clearance at Home Goods..2.00

I filled a hurricane with mini faux pumpkins, orange candle and surrounded it with a leaf garland..added more faux squash and acorns..

The little acorn covered bowls are also from the Pfaltzgraf clearance



The amber wine glasses are from Villeroy and Boch..



I cut the butter with an acorn cookie cutter, and made the biscuits in a pumpkin mold.



Dinner was pork cutlets, pounded dipped in milk, then panko and fried..
Parmesan potatoes and glazed carrots...apples simmered in apricot brandy for the top of the cutlet..



For dessert I made a little pumpkin pie...used Bakerella's recipe...

I painted the acorn cut outs with chocolate..



With the extra pumpkin filling, I had enough for 2 little tarts...



The recipe is very good. If you like a custardy filling though, use a different recipe.
Would I make this again, (that is the test for me..) yes!

I sure could have used Sue at Sullivan and Murphy's acorn salt and peppers for this table. Go see her decos..she has really gone all out..just beautiful!

I am also linking this to Foodie Friday at Designs by Gollum, and Suzy's Flashback Friday as I have made the Parmesan Potatoes and Pork Cutlets with Apple compote before...

Thanks for visiting....I do appreciate it!
