Another Autumn Table

I almost didn't share this table today because we're all so busy at this time of year.  I enjoyed setting it up, though, so I decided to go ahead and write a quick post to go with.    

I adore copper, and I feel like it lights up a table or a kitchen in fall and winter.  That warm glow never fails to delight me. 😊 I especially love the way copper pairs with blue, and thus the idea for this table.     

I think I most appreciate copper in the fall because it reminds me of the fall foliage that I love so much and look forward to every year.     

I decided to gather the flatware in brown velvet ribbon for more fall color.  This ribbon is a favorite of mine; I purchased it from Amazon a few years ago.  The color is "coffee," and it looks like they are still carrying it.  This is such a rich shade of brown and really makes a statement.       

I used my everyday blue and white dishes, Churchill "Finlandia."  The blue napkins were brought to me by my mother-in-law from France many years ago.  I really treasure them.  The hammered copper napkin rings I purchased at a gift shop either in the mountains or at the coast; I can't remember which.  I'm so glad I bought those, as I have really enjoyed them.  The Moscow Mule mugs I purchased on Amazon and at Hobby Lobby.  The centerpiece is a Longaberger pottery pitcher that came from my husband's grandmother.   

  These faux flowers are some of my favorites; I found them at a gift shop (now closed) that my mom and I used to go to in Virginia.  They had the best artificial greenery and flowers I've ever found anywhere.     

I added a copper ice bucket to my little buffet table, along with a wheat stack tied with the velvet coffee ribbon.     

Do you like to use copper in your home?  Do you ever cook with copper?      We are thoroughly enjoying this fall season here at Forest Manor.  It's my favorite time of year, and we've been pretty busy.  I'm sure it's the same for you. 😊 Do you have your Thanksgiving menu planned out yet?  I hope you all have a wonderful week and weekend!!      I'll be linking this post to "Tablescape Thursday" at Between Naps on the Porch blog, hosted by Susan.      
Blessings,
