Orange You Pretty!

The nights are cooling and the air is crisp.  It's still in the 80's around here during the day.
I set another Autumn tablescape in the Breakfast room.  I love using our pumpkin tureen.  I also bought my one for my Mother with a matching pitcher a few years ago

Using the leaves placemats I bought at Michaels  on sale. The plates are green, although they do look gold here. The flatware is also green. Green and orange go well together. Orange plaid napkins are neatly rolled up and added to the amber napkin rings.

Green goblets as well tie in with this color scheme. A fall wreath sits beneath the  pretty pumpkin tureen.

I am using this lovely fall floral centerpiece as a backdrop on the dessert cart. I love the reflection of the mirror.

Here's a closeup of the pumpkin tureen, surrounded by the fall wreath.

The chairs are dressed as well with a pretty lacy chair wrap with a fall foliage arrangement.

I am sharing this delicious Carrot Butternut Squash soup I recently made.

I had some carrots on hand, along with some butternut squash.  Add some fresh baked bread  and you are all set. Don't forget I am using the fabulous Recipes Generator for Bloggers on Blogspot.

Stay tuned for the reveal of the Glam Guest  Bedroom.  The chandelier and  ceiling medallion is up.  Many thanks to my handy husband. The Bachelor's chest was delivered.  I am still in the process of finding new bedding. It truly is a bling bedroom.
