Autumn Buffet...

Fall has arrived here with very cool temperatures and possible frost tonight. I plan on inviting some ladies for tea in a couple weeks, so I thought I would show you my buffet all ready for afternoon tea.

I added a heavy, paisley runner with shades of rust, red, and gold. I replaced the decanter set with my silver tea/coffee service.

I filled a vintage sterling compote with potpourri to add some warmth to the silver...

These vintage tea cups are part of a set my grandmother gave me from China. I love how the colors are so nice and warm for fall...

Naturally, I brought some weeds in from outdoors! I used hydrangeas, astilbe, golden rod and tree branches then supplemented with a few preserved leaves and faux foliage to fill in.   

Summer turns into...

...Autumn

I am using a lot of warm/cool this season as I have found I love the combination of silver with the warm, fall colors. That is a big hint for what is coming the next few tablescapes:-) 

I'll be joining Marty's "Tabletop Tuesday" over at "A Stroll Through Life" so be sure to go by there and visit her and her lovely participants. 

See you Thursday...
