I learned recently that creating a fall table setting for a dinner party is possible even without owning a ton of fall dishes.\u00a0 All it takes is a little creativity and just a few fallish items.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Fall<\/p>\n

(golden wheat plates)<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

For instance, my mother has a complete set of dishes that have a wheat motif.\u00a0 They are by Homer Laughlin and were produced from 1949 to 1966.\u00a0 She collected these dishes at antique shops and flea markets over the years. Mother has been asking me is I wanted the set, and I kept declining.\u00a0 I just felt I didn’t need a complete set of dishes to store away.\u00a0 However, this year I caved in and accepted eight dinner plates.\u00a0 I knew that I could layer them with my existing dishes and\/or with my depression glass<\/a> dishes and come up with an attractive table.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0\"Fall<\/p>\n

\u00a0(Blue willow plate set<\/a>,\u00a0 rattan chargers<\/a>)<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

I just pulled out some of my favorite dishes along with napkins and chargers that I felt would work together and came up with the cutest tablescape.\u00a0 I made the corduroy place mats, and they are perfect for fall.<\/h3>\n

\u00a0(similar blue water goblets<\/a> \/ wine goblets<\/a>)<\/p>\n

It is traditional with a twist, and that’s just what I like.\u00a0 Those days of pulling out all of our matching china to create a dinner party table are over, and this creative approach is so much more fun.\u00a0 Don’t get me wrong.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Fall<\/h3>\n

<\/h3>\n

I still love our wedding china, but I love it even more when it’s layered with other patterns.\u00a0 And it didn’t even make the cut for this table setting.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Fall<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

<\/h3>\n

To conceal flower’s plastic pot, I simply wrapped it with an extra napkin and tied it with a rustic ribbon.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Fall<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0There’s not one thing that is matchy-matchy about this table, but it all seems to work.\u00a0 Maybe this will inspire you to dig into your cabinets and get creative with your dishes.\u00a0 It’s always a fun (and sometimes therapeutic) thing to do.<\/h3>\n

Take care.<\/h3>\n
