I love this fun rustic fall setting Mary! The dishes are really cool and the top napkin works so well with the tablecloth! I see we both had leaves on our mind this weekend:@)
Very different style to those plates & bowls, Mary…really cool looking yet warm & inviting at the same time.
I adore your lantern filled with mini pumpkins! SO pretty!
Your header shot of Lake Norman took my breath away….what a gorgeous place to live. No wonder you’re so creative!
Good morning, Mary! Love the square plates and the colors are just to my taste! I love setting a nice table, it just makes the meal so much more appealing !
Have a great week!🍂🎃
OMGoodness, I WANT THESE DISHES so bad!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They are just gorgeous! I am going to the site to see what I can afford!!!!!:):) I think these may be my favorites of what you have shown us. Your table looks spectacular, I have filled a few lanterns like this too:)
Those Mikasa dishes are just stunning, Mary, and you’ve showcased them so perfectly. I love the black background of the dishes, which really enhances the colorful leaves. Your lanterns filled with pumpkins and gourds are the perfect touch, along with the leaf votives holder. You find the best table linens ant Kohl’s!
p.s. You’re a lucky girl to see those colorful trees on your lake!!
I love Autumn. … the pumpkins of all sizes and colors (especially orange), beautiful falling leaves, cooler temperatures (and love humidity), candles … you’ve got it all here. Gorgeous gorgeous! Happy Fall!
I love this Autumn Nights pattern Mary! The dark is so dramatic with the fall leaf pattern and the square shape is so attractive. You have paired it perfectly with the lighter plaid cloth and floral napkins. Your square rattan chargers are always my favorite. I can see this dishware for a Halloween table too, the orange pumpkins are the perfect pop!

Beautiful!!!! I showed my Foreign Exchange Student your blog & she fell in LOVE!!!! She says it is like a magazine! We are going to use your candy apple idea for her bake sale in two weeks. She thinks they are way more “COOL” than cookies. Thanks for sharing!!! You are an inspiration!
Another beautiful tablescape Mary! Those dishes take my breath away – what an inviting table to share with friends and family. I enjoy looking at all the ways you decorate. By the way, made your caramel apple bars and they were a huge hit with my family. Going to make another batch soon! Happy Fall!
Mary,
just found you an d have enjoyed browsing thru! Love those dishes, the colors and pattern is amazing! Your header is gorgeous, but then so is lake Norman! I lived in Concord for 10 years back in the 80’s and worked in Charlotte. It was one of my favorite places that I’ve lived, so beautiful!

Another stunning presentation…I don’t think anyone else does dinnerware justice as you, Mary…I hope Mikasa hires you (if they haven’t already!) to do all of their publicity photographs.
Egads! That photo in your header….it’s GORGEOUS!!!! It’s just picture perfect autumn!!! I don’t know it for sure, but I kinda have a feeling that’s pretty much what heaven must look like! :-) This is a beautiful table setting, Mary, and it works really well outside like that. What a great backdrop it mimics!!! I love the muted colors. I also really like the black background of the dishes. That really shows off the rich fall colors in the design.
So, so pretty! Enjoy your weekend in your little corner of heaven on earth!!!
Your tablescapes just keep getting better and better. This is truly beautiful and makes me happy that Fall is here!

It looks gorgeous! I love the soft plaid linens and the stoneware is amazing!
You ALWAYS show us beautiful tablescapes, but I’ve got to say this is one of my favorites. Thank you for the inspiration!
BTW, where in the heck do you store all your beautiful dishes!
Beautiful! I’m going out to look for the tableware!
Beautiful, love the fall colors and as always, Mikasa is amazing.
Another stunning presentation…I don’t think anyone else does dinnerware justice as you, Mary…I hope Mikasa hires you (if they haven’t already!) to do all of their publicity photographs.
Everything looks amazing and so fallish…I just gave my large PB lantern like yours to my girl. She loves it.
Mary, this is just breathtaking… like your view of the river! What beautiful dinnerware!
Always love your blogs.
Beautiful table
Very Pretty indeed !!

What a dramatic set of dishes. Lovely, Mary!
Your header photo took my breath away. Wow, what a stunning place to live.
Beautiful!!
Simply beautiful!
Wow! Those dishes are gorgeous! Your entire table is filled with wonderful Fall beauty!
What a perfect name for those elegant plates! Love them.
When are your tables not spot on? I’m particularly drawn to the textures on this one.
Wow, what a pretty table. I am so going to “borrow” your idea of putting miniature pumpkins and gourds into a lantern. What a great idea!

Gorgeous. I love the use of the black leaf plates. It makes for a very elegant tablesetting.
