I am joining Susan at Between Naps on the Porch for Tablescape Thursday and the Fall Party at Rhoda's Southern Hospitality...Thanks for hosting dear ladies..
I am not fully decorated for Fall...just bringing out things little by little.
I won't put out the Halloween for another week or so...
Here's my front door...
The acorn bells were a gift from a friend from a Holidays forum on GWeb, Kay..:)
This lantern is from WSonoma Outlet...last year..
She will greet you as you come through the foyer..she can hold some treats in her apron...
I will have to catch up with the rest of you who are fully decorated...I am still trying to find all the Fall bins in the basement!!
Tonight's table.."Leaf" me alone... :)
The tablecloth is from Portugal..a gift from my sister about 35 years ago..It came with solid napkins in 3 colors..I have them..one is mangled..someone left it too close to the candle at a dinner party..{you know who you are! :)}
I used brown round mats, burnt orange plate, ($ Tree)
That amber bubble glass pitcher I got in the Pfaltzgraff clearance center 2 yrs ago...it was marked 24.99, but I got it for .96 cents!!
I bought 4 and gave them away...
The leaf plate and butter spreader is from Pfaltzgraff outlet...
The fall colored napkins have leaves on them, and I wired faux squash and leaves to a napkin ring..
The orange leaf is Chantal..clearance at Home Goods..2.00
I filled a hurricane with mini faux pumpkins, orange candle and surrounded it with a leaf garland..added more faux squash and acorns..
The little acorn covered bowls are also from the Pfaltzgraf clearance
The amber wine glasses are from Villeroy and Boch..
I cut the butter with an acorn cookie cutter, and made the biscuits in a pumpkin mold.
Dinner was pork cutlets, pounded dipped in milk, then panko and fried..
Parmesan potatoes and glazed carrots...apples simmered in apricot brandy for the top of the cutlet..
For dessert I made a little pumpkin pie...used Bakerella's recipe...
I painted the acorn cut outs with chocolate..
With the extra pumpkin filling, I had enough for 2 little tarts...
The recipe is very good. If you like a custardy filling though, use a different recipe.
Would I make this again, (that is the test for me..) yes!
I sure could have used Sue at Sullivan and Murphy's acorn salt and peppers for this table. Go see her decos..she has really gone all out..just beautiful!
I am also linking this to Foodie Friday at Designs by Gollum, and Suzy's Flashback Friday as I have made the Parmesan Potatoes and Pork Cutlets with Apple compote before...
Thanks for visiting....I do appreciate it!
I just love all your different pieces - your tables all look so homey and inviting!
ReplyDeleteThe pork cutlets fit the bill perfectly and the pumpkin pie is too cute!

Kathleen! Very fun. Love it all. That is just a sneak peek of your front door, right?
ReplyDeleteI love the acorn covered bowls!! Did you get great deals on everything from Pfaltzgraf or what?
And dinner! Looks divine!
Makes me hungry for Thanksgiving with pumpkin Pie! My kids would think they were in Heaven if I baked a pumpkin pie without a Holiday!!! LOL
Great post!
Karen
Your menu looks fantastic and so does your Fall decor!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful week end!
~Really Rainey
Your front porch is simply beautiful, as is your tablescape. Your dinner looks delish.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!
Kathleen, you have so many wonderful fall tablescape pieces. All of those leaf dishes are so pretty, and I love those acorn bowls. How smart you are to wire the leaf and squash to the napkin rings. I also love your front door decor. It looks so inviting. laurie
ReplyDeleteBeautiful fall colors. The pie is adorable. My assignment for Thanksgiving dinner is pie - I'm definitely going to duplicate your acorns - too cute!
ReplyDeleteLove the little pumpkin pie dish...so cute. And although you did not mention the napkin rings, they are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI'm enjoying all these Fall tablescapes, thanks for joining the party. Your's is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteHi Kathleen- Thanks for the shout-out on the little acorn salt and pepper shakers and my decorations! Yup, they would have complemented your tablescape very nicely.
ReplyDeleteAll your pieces of Pfaltzgraf, Dollar Tree, and Homegoods dinnerware are so pretty- Everything is so nicely put-together! And the menu.... oh I want to start cooking those heavier, heartier meals- so welcoming and satisfying.
Your table says comfort and beauty, Kathleen. You're a very talented lady!
Hugs, Sue
What a lovely tablescape matched by a wonderful meal. I really like the pie recipe and appreciate your sharing it with us. I hope you are having a wonderful day.

ReplyDeleteJane
Kathleen,
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for stopping by and making the rounds of my silly little blog!
You know you're making me really hungry. That pumpkin pie makes my want to go outside and pick a pumpkin to bring home and eat. I eat them with butter and cheese. I know... I'm weird.
Your porch looks beautiful. I've done absolutely nothing at home for decorating. Pathetic!
xo,
Carole
Hi Kathleen,
ReplyDeleteLove your fall table. I have been playing catch up and didn't get mine done in time. Your pieces are outstanding... and you just crack me up with the bargains you get. I need to be on your overflow list... You could even turn a profit on me...;) Do you cook a full on dinner every night? I "have" to know the answer to this question. Have a great day.
Maryrose :)
It looks like fall at your house, I still have the a/c on :)
ReplyDeleteAlways gorgeous tables, Kathleen!
This is just tooooooooo nice!! So pretty and colorful!! Just wish you could serve food I could eat!! I am basically down to whole gluten free grains, vegies, fruit, beans, tofu!! Its the only thing that keeps my cholesterol down! (why does everything have to change after menapause (hmm, how DO you spell that---may be men should pause!) Oh my house blog is spindle cottage (I have different ones)
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed seeing your leaf theme! You have some neat pieces!
ReplyDeleteNice menu too!
Katherine
Oh my goodness that little pie is so cute! I love it. Your place looks great decorated for fall. I'll make Randy dig out Halloween this or next weekend. I am loving fall this year. Thanks for joining me for the Flashback!
ReplyDeleteWow, what a great table! You've collected some wonderful fall pieces, and layered them together so well! Those napkin rings have given me ideas...
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks for stopping by my place! I will confess that since there was (miraculously) just one TINY little spill at dinner, I decided to hold off on the test wash for the table cloth for awhile so I can enjoy the setup for a bit! (I just covered the spot with a leaf... shhh...)
- Meg
Beautiful! I want to shop with you. I cannot believe the bargains you find!
ReplyDeleteBoy, you make me wish we had a Pfaltzgraff outlet nearby! Wonderfully interesting accessories to your pretty tablescape.
ReplyDeleteThe menu looks delicious, too. :D
What a fun "leaf" me alone tablescape! Love the color and dinner looks mighty tasty!
ReplyDeleteKathleen, everything looks so pretty! Your table and the pumpkin pie and all your decorations are really very autumnal. How I wish I lived closer to the Riverhead outlets! Have you visited the new outlet center in Deer Park?
ReplyDeleteAs always, the food looks delicious, but I am swooning over the dishes and everything in your 'scape. It's so warm and cozy and inviting!
ReplyDeleteI'm trying to work up my never for cupcakes. Shaking in my slippers!
Have a great rest-of-the-weekend.
It sure is beginnig to look alot like Fall around your house! It's beautiful! I think I would like your recipe for Pumpkin Pie, and your dishes are so gorgeous! I love Fall, too! Hugs, Cindy S.
ReplyDeleteYour tablescape is just beautiful--so inviting and warm! Of course, the food looks delish, as always!
