A Galvanized Bucket of Autumn and Chippy Wedgewood

The morning was a lovely 62 degrees.
 
Ahhh, Heaven, I'm in Heaven...
 
It was work day so I didn't get in my walk.
 
Tomorrow is another like day so I hope to get an early start
on my morning.
 
Falling in love with fall made me want to change some things up abit.
(as if I haven't done this before:)
 
 
I made an arrangement in my small galvanized bucket.
A bunch of fall florals were $1 at the Dollar Tree.
They looked as good as any I've seen at Walmart for 4 times the money!
 
 
I'm definitely NOT a tablescaper, but I couldn't resist showing off
this lovely vintage tablecloth.
Yard Sale $1
 
I had this tray that I decided to NOT paint white this time.
Can you believe that?
I thought it made a great centerpiece with the bucket and the pumpkins.
 
A college student threw out a box of dishes-odds and ends-more odds than ends.
I tried to come up with a set.
Ironstone is perfect in any ensemble.
 
 
I liked the autumn berries. 
Of course, I think they were meant for a candle.
 
Upon further inspection, I found they were marked Wedgewood, Queen's Shape.
 
I have
7 plates, 2 chipped.
7 bowls, 5 chipped
4 cups, 2 chipped
1 bread and butter plate, perfect
 
Perfectly imperfect set:)

  1. I am so jealous your weather has cooled off!! We still have a couple months of warm weather ahead here in Orlando...Dreaming of cool mornings. I'm not a tablescaper either, but you did a great job and your table looks great!

  4. We have FINALLY cooled off, too. It's even rainy. Tomorrow the Oklahoma Fair starts and it's always wonderful and fun. I hope the rain will let up enough for us to go and have some good eats. Time to BLOW our WW diet plans! :)

    Love your perfectly imperfect plates.
