Well, kids-
Here in the midwest
SUMMER IS OVER
that means we have to
start embracing Fall!
I haven't been around much lately
but thought I would do a
Pick Your Favorite Fall Table post.
There is. lot going on in our family
right now-
Some wonderful things and some
things that are worrisome.
That being said-
I think we all need the chance to
escape to a peaceful place-
and what better place than
sitting at
a table with good friends!
I have always loved the
vibrant colors of Autumn-
the color of the leaves on the trees,
pumpkins and bittersweet....
but I also found some
wonderful Fall inspirations
that are quite neutral
and I love those, too..
You know the routine by now.
I present you with 7 tables
and YOU get to pick
YOUR FAVORITE TABLE SETTING~~~
and after you pick your favorite
I get to make fun of seat you if I so choose.
Of course,
some of you are
SO NICE that I would
SO NICE that I would
NEVER MAKE FUN OF YOU---
Okay---I mighta lied about that.
Anyway....
Ready?
RAISE YOUR HAND
if you would LOVE to sit at this table!
(and leave me a comment and let me
know your hand is up--m'kay?)
TABLE #1
SWEET SERENITY
Okay-Put your arms down-
You can't drink coffee
with your arm in the air, silly.
This one is a bit more colorful.
Would you want to sit at
Table #2?
ORANGE, ORANGE & MORE ORANGE
Next we have
TABLE #3
BLUE & GOLD
Blue not your choice for Fall?
This is the Soft Side of Autumn for me
Aren't those paper leaves cute and fun?
TABLE #4
PAPER & PEARS
Or-You can pull up a chair and sit here.
A modern look at Fall
TABLE #5
DARE TO BE SQUARE
Don't want to be square?
Well then---
How about the really warm,
cozy harvest feeling of
TABLE #6
GRAPES? WHERE'S THE WINE?
And last, but not least
Matthew Mead featured by
Martha Stewart.
TABLE #7
I'M IN LOVE WITH IVY
So- There you have it.
What's your pick?
You are welcome to come IF
you promise NOT to spit your food out
when I am not looking.
Now you DO KNOW I can
MOVE YOU
at will, if I so choose, right?
but I won't...unless...you start acting up
like SOME of you are prone to do.
I won't mention any names here.
I can't wait to seat you
with your foodie friends.
Okay- That's it! Pick your seat-
snicker
Bear with me if I don't respond right away.
I apologize for not visiting you like
I have in years past.
It's been a long few months here.
I am spending the last days up at the camper
and I have no internet up there.
I will tally these as soon as I can.
Meanwhile-sit and party!

Table #5 "Dare to be Square" for me please, Diana! I love the warm amber of the square plate, the candles and wine!
#3
Does the tag say Henry's?
Hi Diana! Since I'm the second in line I know you'll seat me first at the table I choose. I love #7. I'm kinda traditional and love those colors. Praying for your son-in-law.
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
Lose the grapes and I'll go for #6. No?
Okay, #1 then ... gives me a peaceful easy feeling.
PS - Prayers continuing!
It's good to see you! I sure hope things will start looking up for you, blessings. #3 for me, Blue & Gold.
Put me at 6. I'll bring the wine if none shows up!
Oh, this is so sweet that you did one of these, Diana! I would love to be at table 6 (hi, Jeanie!!) because it looks so warm and cozy. I'll bring a box of wine for everyone to share- how's that for classy?!? -Jenn
I’ll be happy to be seated at #1, please! As always, sending you hugs and good thoughts!
No doubt about it . . . #1 . . .
#1 for me!
Defiantly table #2. I do wish they would post the wine list, but I will take my chances. I want to sit at a fall table that shouts fall and that would be table #2.
kMy hand is up for table #1, please! Keeping you all in my thoughts and heart ~
for the first time ever you have one i will sit at, #1 is my choice. love the look,the chairs, it is easy to talk over the center piece. but don't be shocked if i stand up and remove the two punkins on the pedestals from the side bar.
6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6.
The only one for me!
Warm and cozy and purrrrrrrrfect!
YES!!!!!
6
🍁🍂🍁🍂🍁
Would you believe?????
I posted my comment, on my own blog, first!!!!
-sigh-
LOL
🍁🍂🍁🍂🍁
I chose #6..I love grapes and, of course, wine !! Here's to you..I like the atmosphere here!! Thanks for hosting.xxoo
I would like to sit at TABLE #5 DARE TO BE SQUARE.
I love the square plates and the candles.
I pick table number 2 - colorful.
Well, you know me...I always have a difficult time deciding these things. I prefer something more outdoorsy...don't like to be cooped up with no view...LOL. Anyway, I'm thinking it's a toss up between #2 and #7. I like them both, but decided #2 looks like it would be more fun and it looks like there are a lot of plants or greenery in the background, so maybe it is more outdoorsy...so #2 it is. I might be seeing "orange" everywhere after that, but still, it looks casual and relaxed and fun. That's me! Praying for your family and for you. I hope you can relax sometime...maybe when you get back to these tables...sit down and take a load off your feet and just have a good time!!
These tables are all pretty enough to wish it could be a progressive dinner but I know you won't stand for that answer so I'm choosing # 6 even though my guess is that I may be sitting there alone.
Praying daily for Jason, Diana! He sounds like an amazing man!
I have my hand raised for table 1 please. I love the simplicity and calm colors. I’m not big into a lot of the traditional orange for Fall. I Lisa
I hate to say it but I don't like any of them. Go ahead and squeeze me in anywhere you can find room. Or I could just go out back and plop my butt down on a big old pumpkin and watch the festivities from there :)
Table #4 please. I love the dishes, they're beautiful. Thinking of you guys always...lots of prayers. xxoo
I might be alone but I like Table 1. Praying for SIL!
Table 1 for sure!
No.1 for me!
#1 for me. I'm not very fond of orange.
Praying for Jason and all of you.
I’m going with #5 Dare to be Square. I like it!
Table #7 for me...
and continued love and prayers for you and yours.....
Nope. No way. I am not done with summer. Let me know when you are ready for Christmas. There are 4 seasons in my life: Almost Boating, Boating, Almost Christmas and Christmas. Sorry!
#7, please. I love anything Matthew Mead does!
It's gotta be #7 for me! Love the long metal centerpiece!
Why #5 of course - two glasses for double fisted drinkers!
Hard choice but I'm going with #1. I do like #2 also but it's a little too orange for me. I'm not into blues this fall, have been in the past though. #7 was a close contender but I liked the soft green in the first one better. Thanks for the fun once again...I love these posts and reading the comments!
I pick table #2. Orange, orange and more orange my favorite color for fall. Thanks for doing this. It is fun!
They are all great but #7 with the ivy caught my eye. Have a good start to the new week. xoxo Kris
Well, I have to have color. I'm an artist. So put me at table two. I might even bring some Autumn Apple Sangria to share. 😉
Happy Fall, Diana. Been praying for y'all.
Hugs, Cecilia
Table number 7 please!
Hmmmm...choices, choices...I do believe I will set myself down at #2 Orange, Orange & More Orange. Can never be enough orange for me - it is one of my all time favorite colors, and I wear it well...
Sherry said #2 unless that upsets you. I was waiting to see where I would sit!
Thanks for the fun and beauty.
Sherry & jack
#7 for me Diana. Love the elegant look and the cozy fireplace. Praying for your family. Much love, xoxo
Raising my hand for Table 2, please! Bright and cheery pulled me right in!
Hi Friend,
Table #1 for me.
Praying for your family. Lots of Love, Carla
I have been keeping you and your family in my daily prayers, sweet lady! Thanks for the fun of a Fall Meal at a beautiful table. Well, I really love #1 but may sneak over to #7 in-between courses. Put me where you will. They are all gorgeous! Love & hugs!
#3 Blue and Gold, please. Will there be cupcakes for dessert? I'm sorry the worrisome continues.
Love,
Janie
Hi Diana! Don't tell my hubby, but I think I'm in love with Ivy (#7), lol. Praying for your family daily and hope your camper getaway gives you some peaceful times amid the chaos. Jane
I'm in for table one please
Continued prayers and hope you can rest on your getaway
Hugs
I like Table #1, but, then, noticed it didn't have a proper table cloth, only a runner! I like having a proper table cloth to spill stuff on! I'll take a seat at Table #7, please! :)
Yup....serenity for me too, table 1.....
Hugs
Nancy
Although my favorite color is orange (as you know) I have to pick Serenity since I could use a bit of that in my life-hope my table mates feel the same and don't get all wacko.
Hello Diana, it's nice to see you back blogging. These table setting posts are so popular . . . just look at all the comments. Well my favorite is #1 . . . it's just so simple and uncluttered.
Table one, hands down, love the muted tones, just looks so welcoming. As a mama of 16 kids, we didn't even have enough matching dishes, so we had an assortment of Corelle patterns for our dinner table, so looking at these tables, ahhh, so nice! Now the kids are growing up and we can have nicer things, ha, but we still don't set the table like these! Thanks for sharing, I enjoyed this!
Della
Table #7 for me... I was tossed between #1, so if #7 is too crowded, I can be moved to #1... love the tall taper candles, soft lights and ivy, of course!
I choose #1. Love it. xo Laura
I guess I'll choose #5...I need more color! Hugs, and thanks for the fun!
Dare to Be Square, #5 is gorgeous BUT it's fancy so I'd have to get dressed up. Phooey on that. So I'll choose #4 with the pears - it's more casual.
I know life has been very hard for you lately. Sending my love and a big hug.
xoxo
Wine or no wine! I do like the look of table number six please.
Continued prayers for you and yours.
All the best Jan
I will take a seat at table #1, looks peaceful! Enjoy your day and as always, thanks for hosting! HUGS and PRAYERS coming your way!
I hope I'm not too late! ORANGE ORANGE ORANGE!! That is the colour of autumn for me.
OH no! My comment didn't show up. I was kidding in it...in case it did show up and looked sketchy.
