Today is Tablescape Thursday hosted by Susan at Between Naps on the Porch. Susan always has the most amazing tablescapes, so be sure to check them out, as well as the other participants.
Here's a blast from the past
Today I am embracing Fall, like my friend Kris, I have put away Halloween and am looking forward to Thanksgiving. I haven't embraced Thanksgiving enough yet to
bring out the pilgrims and turkeys (I always prolong the pilgrims) but I have harvested pumpkins, acorns and leaves for your viewing pleasure.

bring out the pilgrims and turkeys (I always prolong the pilgrims) but I have harvested pumpkins, acorns and leaves for your viewing pleasure.
I have chosen one of my favorite runners as inspiration. The colors are so rich and I just love the different fabrics and textures. So with gold, red and rust as my base I have brought in leaves, pumpkins and acorns.
The pumpkins are made of mercury glass. I picked them up as a set from Sam's Club.
They were originally going to be one of my bunco gifts...but alas they wanted to stay and live with me.
So out with the witches and spiders and in with Fall.
The tall red goblets and the amber etched water glasses werepurchased at Bombay several years ago. As I was doing my table I
broke one of the red goblets and forgot to switch it out.
I bought these napkin rings at Tai Pan Trading Co. They were in a set of 4 and ran about 1.25 each
They are a little cheesy but I loved the sparkle
Here you can see my runner and little glass acorns.
My poor goblet...I hate when I man handle things.
This is the largest of the set of Sam's Club pumpkins.
The leaf garland has acorns in it.
And I have glass acorns scattered down the center.
A peek at the sideboard
I took my theme to my sideboard. I love
The candles should be a little more rust but,
After looking at these pictures I noticed I used quite a bitof mercury glass. My gold hurricanes were also purchased at HomeGoodsseveral years ago for a Christmas table.

they were left over from Halloween.
and I love the leaves.
Thanks for stopping by and sharing this lovely Fall day

Mary Rose,
I love your table. It is so pretty and sparkly (or is that broken glass?) ;-).
I also love mercury glass. I'll bet you got a great deal on that at Sam's club, a place I am afraid to go to...just too much eye candy!! The napkins are not cheesy and I love the goblets.
Wonderful tablescape. I hope you have a great evening!!
xoxo

I love everything about that scape! I saw it first hand the other night, and it is gorgeous. All my favorite colors too! I bought some of those napkin rings from TPT too!
Happy Fall my friend!
A pre;tty table -- I love the red and amber -- great combination!
Pretty and sparkly- two of my favorite words, and they describe your lovely table. Those pumpkins are gorgeous. This table has panache!

That looks great , Mary Rose. Love those colors, so rich..like the napkin ring...they are real precious stones, right? LOL
Your sideboard looks so pretty too!
I didn't see anything like your pumpkins in Sams..maybe I missed them!
Wonderful table..I am glad you are embracing Tgiving, cause I don't want to see Christmas yet!! :)
What a beautiful table! I love the combinations! Great job!
Gorgeous tablescape! So rich looking! All that mercury glass in so many forms - the pumpkins are terrific! How upsetting to have broken one of your goblets!

Oh, what a beautiful table you've created! I don't think your napkin rings are cheesy at all. I think they're perfect and add a great glitz to your table. Thanks for sharing and happy TT to you!
Love your colors -- oh so sorry about your broken glass :( I hate when that happens! What a pretty sideboard. I love fall!
Wonderful table! The rich colors are perfect for a fall meal. Thanks for sharing. ~ Sarah

beautiful!
Oh what a gorgeous tablescape. I love everything about it. The mercury glass is just gorgeous. All of the dishes and accessories are so pretty. Hugs, Marty
Oh Maryrose, this is gorgeous. I love the rich colors and fall decors. I am putting together my ideas for my Thanksgiving tables, and you have given me some wonderful inspiration. I have to set 3 tables (I have soo many coming this year, oh my..) and I am going to do them all a little different. I will take pics and FINALLY have my tablescape post, haha that is unless I don't bring all my plans to an actual finish. Anyway, this was beautiful!! Have a wonderful day.
That is such a pretty autumn setting! I love the bits of sparkle that you added.
Susan
Perfect for a nice autumn dinner...I love all the mercury glass, makes the table really sparkle. Thanks for sharing.
Oh, I love your tablescape and buffet vignette. You do like your mercury glass, don't you? I do too, and I've also fallen for anything to do with acorns. I like your pumpkins. I'll have to see if our Sam's still has those. I haven't been in a while.
I'm so mad that you broke one of your glasses. I'm actually really mad.
Aside from that, I LOVE THIS TABLE!! Maybe it's because I feel like I had a part when I set the chargers and dishes that you selected onto the table. It turned out gorgeous, and I like the changes that you made with the center pieces. What time is Thanksgiving dinner?
Everything looks so pretty! The colors together are great! I love mercury glass, I have several pieces too, including a big pumpkin. Too bad about your glass, I hate when that happens!
Great job!

Hi, MaryRose...I love your pretty name.
And...I love this beautiful table. I love mercury glass...and red...and those goblets. Everything is just perfect!
O, and I bought my fallish dishes at ....*GULP....Walmart. And placemats, napkins, napkin rings..all match. I am not a matchy person at all but, for some reason, I fell in love with all of it. Only have a set for 4 but no more room for dishes anyway!! :O)
Beautiful tablescape!!
very lovely! Thanks for visiting my blog for Tablescape Thursday!
Very pretty. Love the sparkle!
What a pretty table! Love all the fall colors and the glass pumpkins just sparkle! thanks for sharing... Dee Dee
I love the mercury glass. It looks great on your gorgeous table. So sorry about the broken glass. I hate it when that happens.

This is wonderful, love all of the golds. Very lovely!
I just love mercury glass! Your pumpkins are so pretty. This whole scene has such a rich feel of autumn.
You are so right abouyt the colors of your tablescape, very rich! Everything is so pretty. I bought the S & P shaker from Hone Goods about 2 years ago. I am glad you like them...Christine
I'll bet you are really glad you didn't let go of those Mercury glass pumpkins! They're great on your table!!! Sorry about your red goblet! I know how that is. Something about those red goblets...I broke one in July doing a tablescape and ended up having to get 6 nasty stitches in the webbing of my fingers. STILL can't wear my ring because of the nerve damage. Rats!!! Well, I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
What an absolutely perfect table setting you have created just in time for the holidays. I just love all of the different textures. Have a very Happy Thanksgiving.
So sorry about your goblet. I hate when things like that happen when I'm playing! Your table is wonderful. Your collection all goes together very beautifully.
I can't believe that I missed those great mercury glass pumpkins at my Sam's...probably no way that they'd still have them...I'll just have to enjoy yours. I like the way that you tied the berry branches like a sheath of wheat...very effective. Your tablescape is lovely. Thank you for sharing your charming design. Cherry Kay
