I want to start off by thanking everyone for the prayers sent up for my Grandma. She came home from the hospital yesterday with an increase of meds that seems to be working, we were so thankful she didn’t have to have any surgery. She did have 3 mini strokes before they got everything under control but there seems to be no lasting affects, thank God. I appreciate all the comments and everyones concerns. Now on to the $1 Fall Table Setting.
I know I say this all the time and you’re going to hear it again, “You can put together a table setting with thing you already have.” There is no need to go out and buy something new every time an event or holiday rolls around. Today I did just that…I wanted something for fall without having to purchase expensive items, so digging through the cupboards began. I knew I wanted to use the black and white fabric as a runner, as it matched the curtains in the kitchen and from there I just started layering dishes that contained fall colors.
First came the cream dinner plates from Target, then I added the salad plates from Pier One, next red and white dish towels were used as napkins all topped with a mini pumpkin and red handled flatware.
The tree branches are real and cut from one of our maple trees. I love how bright the leaves are and decided to show them off in a glass pitcher. The only money spent was the $1 for 5 mini pumpkins.
I say that is a pretty cheap fall table setting. I love it when I can use what I have and achieve the look I am going for. Don’t be afraid to use things in nature as a centerpiece, even weeds look great stuck in amongst branches and wildflowers. Your guest will find you quite creative.
We have a high school football game tonight and it looks like I will be wearing my heated coat, I think winter is sneaking up on us here in the north. Weather predictions are even calling for some snow this weekend. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend, no matter what your weather is like.
I love it when a table setting comes together from things around the house. Yours looks great and it certainly didn’t break the bank!
Linda, that is for sure it was done on the cheap.
Dawn,
So happy to hear your grandma is doing better. Love your table. Love the check table cloth and those dishes are great. So sweet.
Kris
Kris, yes it is a relief that Gram is home and doing better. Thank you so much for stopping by.
I’m developing a crush on those salad plates from Pier One. It’s getting cold here, too, Dawn. Bundle up tonight!

Claudia
Claudia, I have all my batteries charged for my heated coat. I am football ready:)
Just gorgeous and I love the ric rac on the little boo pumpkins!
Rondell, you are very observant. Thank you for dropping by:) and have a wonderful weekend.
I love all the color! And the price of course.
Brenda
Brenda, the price is the best part.
Glad to hear that your Grandma is okay. And how are your bumps and bruises????
Love the idea of using what you have to do table scapes. I try to do that too.
XO Kris
Kris, I am still black and blue, and green and yellow and pink. LOL it is a slow heal and I think the bump may never go away (still fairly certain something is broke). It will heal in time I know. Thank you so much for checking on me:)
You have such a way with color. Life is so busy for you. Pray all is well with your grandma.
Elaine, Thank you for the prayers, she is doing much better and back to normal. I appreciate you taking the time to stop by and send a prayer up.
Hi Dawn. Your table is so sweet and it is nice you can set a table on a budget! Love your style and those cute little pumpkins. Thanks for popping in and you’re a wise young lady!
Be a sweetie,
Shelia 😉
Sheila, thank you so much for stopping in and having a look-see!
So glad to hear your grandma is doing good. The table looks so warm and inviting. Yes, dollar store for the little pumpkins and you already had the rest! That looks so pretty! Stay warm.
Blessings,
Susie
Hi Dawn, I’m so glad to hear that your Grandmother is doing better! You know that I love black and white checks so of course I love your tablescape! The rickrack looks so cute tied around the stems of the little white boos! Gosh! I cannot believe that you guys are going to get snow. I’m still wearing flip flops!
Jane, I though of you when I brought out the black and white:) Yes, we did get snow last night, it won’t stay because the ground is too warm but winter is on it’s way.
It looks great. I’m glad your Grandma is on the mend.
Take care,
Pam
Thank you Pam, we are too. I was with her yesterday and she is as good as new, would never know she had several strokes.
Cute table setting – I love that it’s not overly fancy and colorful! Sorry to hear about your grandma; I missed the previous post about her. But glad to hear she’s doing well.
Melanie, Thank you for the concern for my Gram, she is doing wonderful now.
Sooo pretty Dawn and right up my alley! Cheers.
Debbie, thank for popping by girl, nice to hear from you:)
