Sunday Night Fall Table..

18 years ago

I am getting inspired by all of you doing your fall decos. I hadn't pulled much out,so I broguht some up and did a little table for our dinner tonight...

The little acorn bowls are from Pfaltzgraff, last year in off season, as well as the napkins. The napkin rings are from Villeroy and Boch, again off season so a very good deal on something I wouldn't usually buy because of the high price.

The plates are Dollar Tree and mats TJMaxx...



Dinner was oven baked pork chops with baked apple slices, roasted potatoes and in the acorn is baked spaghetti squash..

    Not only does everything look darling, but oh the food!!!
    And that's all I gotta say about that.

    Oh yeah, just one more thing, I have Dollar Tree plates like your bowls. I use them a lot now that fall is here.
    Love 'em.

    I'm loving all these fall dishes, might have to invest in some for next year I guess. Everything goes so well together, just looks perfect. Love the napkins and napkin rings too--good finds. Luvs

    Kathleen, the colours of your dishes and accessories go so well together and look totally "fall". Your napkins have a nice variety of colours in them. Love the little acorn bowls, they are so cute. Food even has a fall theme to it and looks yummy as always.

    Those acorn bowls are wonderful. And your table looks great. I love the Fall colors (me who never liked orange that much, till I discovered Fall decorating, thanks to some folks who shall remain nameless. You know who you are!!)

    And I have to agree with Kareen, you ARE amazing!
    hugs, Karen

    Ooooooo. Comfort food with a fall flair! I think the napkins are what gives it zing. (I could have said, "makes it pop," but I didn't want to give away the fact that I'm addicted to HGTV.)

    Thanks, ladies! Yes, the napkins have a lot of colors in them. I think they were marked down to a dollar in the clearance at Pfaltzgraff, originally 5. It's all about off season shopping, then remembering to put them in the fall bin!!

    Karen, I agree. Orange is not for me, maybe the 70's still haunt me! But for Fall, and Halloween, yes!

    Luvs, yes, get yourself a few at the Dollar Tree. They aren't bad for a dollar. I got four and four soup bowls.
    Sandi said she saw some plaid place mats there, I didn't though.

    Kathleen - I love your fall table. Usually I don't care much for orange but in combination with the other fall colors and for Hallween it works. All the colors on your table looks really warm and I just adore those acorn bowls.
    Now have you decided when you are coming to my house to cook????? LOL

    Beautiful Kathleen!! Please tell me more about the pork chops...I have some chops and some apples.....

  • 18 years ago

    Thanks, Tam. I have all faux white pumpkins and just one orange for outside!
    Jay, I usually buy a boneless loin of pork when they are on sale. It is very economical, roasts, chops, cutlets...a real budget stretcher...(then you can buy more dishes, LOL...)
    Anyway, I cut the pork, pound it out. Dip in milk, then Italian bread crumbs. Spray a baking pan and bake. While that is baking, put some sliced apples on a pan with some cinnamon and sugar or brown sugar, dot with butter and bake...That's it,,easy! The potatoes are scrubbed, sliced in half, tossed in salt and pepper and a bit of olive oil. Again, spray a pan and put cut side down..they will get a nice brown crust....so everything is baking at the same time...although put the potatoes in first ( or microwave them a bit first before baking), as the chops don't take as long.

    I'm envious! It's going to take quite a bit more lurking in this forum before I can set a table as pretty as yours.

    What a pretty table. I love the plates, they would definetly work in my dining room. I'll have to check at my Dollar Tree. The little acorn bowls are wonderful. - Gail

    Kathleen, great table, I love those lidded acorns (you probably know I am crazy for anything with a lid LOL). The colors are really nice too, that is what I love about Fall color, they are just so warm and welcoming.

  • 18 years ago

    Beautiful! I adore those little acorn bowls, how absolutely cute! :-)

  • 18 years ago

    Neesie, just do it, it is fun..I have always liked doing tables, but never realized there was a whole support, er,read enable, group here till 2 yrs ago.

    Judith, I knew you would like those bowls. Now with Pfaltz closing all the stores, I will have to see if I can snatch a few more..

    Jamie and Gail, thank you too.
    Do you know I was never in a Dollar store till I found this forum?? Oh, I had my little closeout places I visited, but never a Dollar store, or as they are now called MANY dollars stores!

    Thanks everyone!
