Hand Knitted Table Runner

Last Thursday I joined the Thursday Tablescape Party at Between Naps on the Porch.

I got several very nice comments about my Fall table, but by far the thing most commented upon was my hand knitted table runner.


The knitted runner was mentioned almost as an after thought since I was moving it off my table and onto a side buffet. Since there was expressed interest in it, I wanted to remind everyone it's available at my Etsy Shop!

Here's a close up of the stitching in a 100% natural cotton.

Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

Setting the Table for Fall

I've been very inspired the past few days, "watching" as many fellow bloggers begin their Fall decorating. So today I pulled out some of my favorite Fall accessories.

Here's the dining room table in it's streamlined summer look. The runner is one I hand knitted. The bowl is one done several years by a local wood turner. It holds some white wooden pears.

One of my collections is of animal candle holders. This dog is one of my favorites.

The kitty candle holder usually keeps the dog company.

I started my Fall tablescape by replacing the runner with a quilted one in a deep shade of yellow.

Next came a bunch of inverted silk leaves.

On top of the leaves are placed three paper mache pumpkins I've had for many years. They look like carved wood to me.

Finally come my turkey candle holders,

made of pine cones.

The set consists of three, each a different height and size.

While I was at it, the neighboring buffet got a few Fall touches too.

Voila! The scene is set!

I'm joining Susan at Between Naps on the Porch for her Thursday Tablescape Party. Be sure to visit her site and get inspired for some Fall table decorating too!
