Mixing Dish Patterns For Tablescape Thursday

For my last Fall tablescape before Thanksgiving, I wanted to try mixing the dish patterns from previous tablescapes. I pulled out the napkins, napkin rings and dishes I got from Pier 1 about a month ago. The dishes were on clearance. I wanted to see how my Country Living salad plates from Kmart would go with these.

I had picked up the runner at Home Goods and liked it because it didn't have a specific motif, but the colors work for Fall. I also used the glasses I got on clearance at Kohl's.

They have different flower patterns going on, but because the colors are the same, it worked for me.

Nice to know I can change things up just by mixing the plates around a bit!

A Tablescape Set For Two

I am linking up to Tablescape Thursday over at Between Naps on the Porch and also to Frugalicious Fridays over at Finding Fabulous.

Since it is mainly hubby and I for dinner now, I decided to get a few things to set up a table for two. This is a very simple setting, but I got some new stuff and wanted to share it.

I hit Pier 1 first to see what they had on clearance as far as dishes. None of these things are sold as going together, but I liked the way the colors worked together.

These colors work great in my coppery dining room.

I found the glasses and the candles at Kohl's; the candles were on sale and the glasses were on clearance.

Here's that gold little basket I recently painted. The candles are called "Chestnut Souffle" and smell so good! They are tied with a ribbon which has a little metal leaf and crystal attached {you might be able to see it better if you click on the picture}. I also stuck in the wooden acorns I found at Pier 1 {not on sale, but I thought they were cute}.
