For even more tablescape fun, I’m joining Susan at Between Naps on the Porch for the 108th Tablescape Thursday. You won’t want to miss it!

My last post showed the kinds of things I like to use to bring warmth and texture to my Fall decorating. Today’s tablescape focuses on one of my “foundations” of Fall decorating: POTTERY. (I’m also including ceramics.) And if you saw my previous post, you may be surprised to see that there’s not a bit of blue on this table!
Today it’s all about “traditional” Fall decorating …
Notice how even vintage dishes by different makers can be mixed and matched to achieve a great look. Here I started with Homer Laughlin dinner plates featuring brown leaves …
… then individual casserole bakers from Hall, and topped it all off with a covered onion soup bowl.
Beneath it all are two layered placemats. I really liked the look of the dark bamboo, but I wanted more contrast with my tabletop since there were so many dark items in my tablescape. I’ve never tried this look before, but I kind of like it. I think I’ll use it again sometime …
Notice that I added a small crocheted coaster under the amber glass. It makes the glass show up better — and adds another layer of texture, too! (Do you see the other crocheted piece in the center of the table, as well?)
I added some more pottery and ceramic pieces …
Here are some close-up views . . .
Hi Susan, you chose lovely Fall pieces for your table, and I do love how the Laughlin and the archetypal Denby go so well together. Beautiful!

A great setting, beautiful fall colors and pieces!
Bravo! Yet another tablescape of yours that I love. It makes me so glad to be a follower.
I love your colors and even more, your layers and textures for this fall table. I also love the way you coordinated the rest of the room.

I love the richness of the browns and golds on your beautiful table. I am intrigued with the flowers, they are really cute and perfect for a fall table.
Have a great weekend!
Your tablescape is divine! Your pictures are stunning and the colours are beautiful. I wish it was fall over here when I see this!
I hope you don’t mind but I have tagged you with an “award”…please stop by if you have a moment. I am also having a giveaway!

Lovely pieces! I made the squirrel on the walnut in the 70’s in ceramics class. Wish I still had it!
I really like the idea of layering the placemats like that. Your onion soup pots are so nice. Lovely colors and textures in this table.
Dear Susan, what a beautiful landscape! I love Fall for its warm colors and the sensation of coziness.
Makes me want to cook and have friends over for special dinners.
Your pieces are very nice. Pottery is one of my biggest passion, I am always adding something to my collection.
I loved the way you added the Etsy shop book to your page, I will check it out.
I also want to say that I checked the other site you told me about, the work you guys do in Brazil. I was impressed and thankful for people like you.
Thanks for sharing!
Mixing the Denby and the Loughlin was a great design choice. Your table is so well integrated into your entire dining room. Well done! Thank you for sharing your charming fall design. Cherry Kay
