Vintage Inspiration Friday # 59 Fall Tablescapes

You all know how much I love my magazine inspiration,

and there's nothing like some crisp Fall weather

 to get me in the mood for an outside Tablescape.

Here are some images mostly from Country Living and Country Home

(boo hoo...)

that I've gathered to just give us some ideas for having an

indoor "sit-down" dinner party, casual family gathering, or an outside soiree.

I can go for anything from the subtle to the outrageous,

and everywhere in between.

For me, times of the year, holidays, and seasons

really are attached to so many memories.

and even though I don't go completely all out for a Halloween vibe here,

I love a little vintage nostalgia when it comes to this time of year.

I can love me some creepy and spooky as much as the next gal.

So last year I did a mostly "white" look with my outdoors Fall Tablescape,

But this year I wanted a more Gothic look, so I went for a darker palette.

Just a sneak peek

come back Sunday evening for the complete reveal!

(I'm bad, I know it...)

So let's see what kind of fun was out there last week!

Adrienne of La Vie Quotidienne

shared her magazine inspired centerpiece that is just amazing.

And speaking of Tablescapes,

Nancy of Nancy's Daily Dish knows how to set a table!!

Gotta see her fun Dining Room

I had to throw in the spider light fixture too!

Sarah from Country Farm Girl

shares her transformation from a tired Picnic table 

(love all the great neutral plaids)

to a great indoor dining area.

 Amber from Junkaholics Unanimous 

found an old piece of tin molding and now it's a gorgeous "planter box"!

And Tricia at A Rosy Note

has a Fall outdoors vignette that will make you drool. 

Honestly, this girl should do magazine work!!

Fall Tablescape; Another Look

Before I do the post for Vintage Inspiration Friday this week

I wanted to share again my post from last Fall

on "Setting a Fall Table".

I have to say, this was the most fun I'd ever had doing a "shoot"!

Since I have so many new people over here,

I wanted to re-live it before I posted 

my newest Fall Escapade in Outdoor Dining.

Au Naturel

Last Sunday afternoon my hubbs and I decided 

to take a little nature hike

into the park that borders our subdivision.

There are great trails that wind through the woods

which are frequented by joggers and nature lovers alike.

The post I did last Friday for Vintage Inspiration Friday

really had me ready to get outside and see what I could find.

I wanted to find some acorns since I've been seeing

 all the faux ones out in stores and blogland.

This girl was just not gonna pay 7 bucks for a small handful...sorry.

As you can see above our walk yielded some specimens

along with some walnuts in all their yummy "green-ness"

maybe I'll start a new fad...

decorating with stinky green walnuts!

(I actually love this fresh color of green!)

I've had this great little metal carrier stashed out in the garage

just waiting for this kind of display.

I used some faux and some real leaves in the mix.

Added two of the smaller "Salty Caramel" candles with the goodies,

all on a bed of dried moss.

Don't tell, but I had to glue the "caps" back on these little critters.

So, here are some of the sites along the way.

Lots of bluebird houses with little wire mesh stoops.

Pretty typical woods 

with a great display of color on the trees.

The fences on the back of the houses across the street.

Whatever this once was had been there a long, long time.

So we wandered around the trails for quite a while.

talking, laughing, picking up bits and pieces.

There were lots of bird noises, rustling in the grass, and leaves falling...

But I heard a noise and we looked in that direction...

can you see what we saw?

How about now?

I have to tell you my husband was beyond excited!

He loves to go to "Deer Camp" each year,

but really enjoys the "male bonding" and walking around in the woods,

and oh yea, not bathing for days at a time.

(wouldn't want the deer to smell ya...)

Wow, this was one handsome really big guy,

Couldn't tell if he was an 8 or 10 point.

But he was used to hikers so he wasn't spooked, 

he took his time and stood right in the middle of the trail

watching us for several moments...

then wandered on his way.

So we both enjoyed our afternoon.

Then I put this together today so I could share the fun.

I hinted at what my big project was Sunday afternoon.

I'll share more Thursday

when I search out some Fall Outdoor Dining inspiration.

Hope you'll come by;

Hope you're having great Fall weather,

xoxo,
