This is a tablescape to celebrate "Apple Month" here at Take Six.
It is simple, cozy and rustic.
Much like you would expect an apple farm and orchard to be.
The table runner is a piece off of a roll of burlap. This roll is 20" wide, and used for wrapping shrubs for the winter. Perfect for a runner! I used my little rustic ladder as the base of the centerpiece.
The container that holds my centerpiece is one of my grandmother's well worn baking pans. I wonder what was cooked in it?
For 10 years one of my sisters, lived on the flat lands of Western Canada. She missed fall in the East, and the beautiful display of colors and falling leaves. My dad gathered leaves and pressed them flat. He did that with some oak leaves and spray painted them gold. He sent them out west to give Lisa a taste of fall at home. This is one of those special leaves.
I have to tell you about my new brown dishes. I picked these up for a song this summer in Maine at a surplus store. A four piece place setting for $14.99. I grabbed two boxes!! I think they will be so versatile, and I love the rich chocolate brown color. I had such fun making the burlap rosette napkin rings. They are so easy! Find my tutorial HERE.
These are my two place card holders. Aren't the little wooden apples cute. My sister, Lisa, gave me those several years ago. There is a little slit in them to slide in the card. But I also thought it would be cute to tie a place card onto an apple stem...so I just used both!!!
Cinnamon sticks are all ready to stir the hot apple cider!
I love all the neutral shades, and the pop of red!
This apple is from my collection of pitchers...
These apple S & P shakers have flavored our food for many years. They were a gift from my sister, Paula.

I wish you could smell this picture. The whole dining room is full of the aroma of 'Jersey Mac' apples.

cute table, the ladder is very clever~
ReplyDeleteI did apples this week too! I love your burlap runner and other burlap touches. And your real apples (I cheated with fake!).
ReplyDeleteI love this table, Tanya, especially the ladder and the apple pitcher. It is wonderful that you still have those leaves your Dad preserved for you. xo,
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful table. I love your sentiment...the baking dish, the pressed leaves...it makes the table setting that much more beautiful and inviting.
ReplyDeleteYour table is just fabulous. I adore the burlap touches with the apples. Perfect naturals.
ReplyDeleteCome visit me for my giveaway of a WS copper soup pot!
Very nice, would be perfect at my home!
ReplyDeleteLove your dining set too!
Looks so nice, Tan!
ReplyDeleteI didn't see the brown dishes when you bought them, they were quickly covered by many other purchases but boy they are perfect.
I didn't comment on the burlap napkin rings the other day, so I will here, I love the one around the white candle...really really do. Might just have to give it a try for myself :)
Oh I forgot to say, gorgeous photography as well!!!
ReplyDeleteAnother great tablescape Tanya! Don't you love the great deals you can find in Maine. I found some silver turkeys at Mardens for 99 cents. I should have picked you up some for you. Thanks for sharing your memories and your talent.
ReplyDeleteB E A U T I F U L dear friend! :)
ReplyDeleteI was very curious to see another take on apples, since my sister Robin did one this week. LOVE the rustic touches you have added! Your dishes were certainly a great find! I love brown anything, and the red and brown on your table is very earthy, and darned if I don't have another apple craving! Good thing I bought some this week! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteWhat a burst of creativity to use the ladder as part of your centerpiece! It just fits the theme beautifully! And the old baking pan! I imagine it being used to bake some apple cobbler by your dear grandmother. Lovely fall table!
ReplyDeleteThank you for stopping by to vote for your favorite in the Fall Hutch challenge!

My beautiful gold leaves... and my favorite, earthly father. xo
ReplyDeleteI really like how you used that ladder! Everything looks great!
ReplyDeleteTotally pretty! I love it. It has a great cozy fall vibe. Here from French Country Cottage.
ReplyDeleteThe tablescape is very pretty with so many great little details. Love that you used the vintage ladder and baking pan.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute table! Love the ladder you have used as an anchor for your centerpiece! How clever! The dishes were a real bargain (lucky you) and the apple accessories are adorable!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for linking to Potpourri Friday. I appreciation your participation!
I love this! The ladder is such a cute addition to this table!
ReplyDeleteHi, Tanya. Thanks for stopping by my blog and commenting! Love your table. Just today I ran across my MIL's apple crisp recipe, and that got me thinkin'.... and now I find your beautiful apple table. You guessed chestnuts...nope! :) But don't tell the others! Let's see if anyone guesses that they're BUCKEYES, as in the Ohio State Buckeyes and the official Ohio tree/nut (no comments re nuts in Ohio!)
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful tablescape! I love the little ladder in the center...so clever! Thanks so much for sharing this with us at Inspiration Friday!
ReplyDeleteVanessa
What an adorable table, simple but whimsical and charming, and I would love to smell the aroma, I bet it is wonderful. those lil rosettes are darling as well. Very nice idea, looks like Fall to me..................
ReplyDeleteWhat a thoughtful Dad you have to send leaves to your sister so she could enjoy Fall out west.
Very sweet!~ and they are very pretty leaves as well, nice she shared with you!! lol
Blessings for a lovely Fall,
Nellie
Every time I hear that old "An apple a day keeps the doctor away" addage, I have to laugh a little. My husband IS a doctor, so I do't eat apples! Weird superstition! He, of course, eats one EVERY SINGLE DAY! (Let me clarify: I don't eat whole, raw apples. I will put an apple pie to instant death, though, if it is set in front of me!!!) Love the rustic look! It reminds me of a bed & breakfast on a ranch. Very nice! Have a great weekend!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteOh, oh, oh...I love the brown dishes! Cute, creative centerpiece.
ReplyDeleteI love the rustic simplicity and all that texture on your tablescape. It's beautiful!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous photos! I live in Colorado but grew up in Vermont and I just knew that apple was a Mac! Oh how I miss those here. Sometimes we do have them in the markets but they have gone soft by then. Your table setting is beautiful, I love the burlap.
