A Bushel of Apples

It is Apple Time!  Time to dig out the old apple dishes, a bargain purchase from Christmas Tree Shop years ago.

Not the best quality, but at 15 dollars for service for 12, I got my money’s worth from them!

I had A LOT of trouble with the light today, don’t know why!

They are more a burgundy than red, so I layered a black cloth, a burgundy topper, black charger, rattan charge and then the plate.

I decided to add in the natural charger as I was using a wicker rocker filled with apples as the centerpiece.

 

There’s a band of green on the plates, so I used apple green candles.

Apple salt and peppers sitting on little green glass leaves.

Little resin apple scatters on the plate. My friend Marigene at In the Middle of Nowhere gave me the idea to use them as knife rests!  So that’s what they have become!  :)  And I found them at CTS.

Black napkin

I used a green bee stem and a tall clear with black bottom stem glass. There is black in the basket and around the apples on the plate.

 

An apple pick marks the place.

For dinner, panko fried chicken with apple gravy. I just made the gravy with apple cider and some chopped apples, a few minced onions.  Brown the onions and apples in some butter, add the apple cider and some chicken broth, thicken with a bit of flour and simmer.

And an Apple Tart.  So easy!

Here’s last  year of the apple table. Light was much better that day!
