Farewell to Autumn Sunshine Tablescape

We have had the most glorious

autumn here at 

Purple Chocolat Home.

The weather has been warm and

the skies clear with that wonderful

crispness of fall in the mornings and 

in the evenings.  You can't have a

more beautiful autumn.

Time to enjoy that last bit of 

beautiful weather with the 

remnants of the bounty of the garden

before the frosts come, so I decided

to fill this basket with these 

exquisite creamy white squash.

Their beautiful color inspired the color

for the tablescape.  We are keeping everything

creamy white with a touch of silver.

Silver chargers and silver flatware

and a silver pitcher turned into

a vase for the remnants of 

sweet alyssum.

You can just feel the last rays

of sunshine as the days cool and

dusk falls more rapidly.

If the garden isn't gathered in

it will all freeze soon.

I thought the chicken wire cloches

went perfectly with my neighbor Christie's

wire basket that she loaned me

for this beautiful autumn table.

The whites are set off by the

tiny bit of green remaining 

in the garden.

My hard working bubble goblets

are always welcome at any table.

Although I love the greens of the

garden, they are starting to turn brown

with some glorious yellows and reds.

And to me, there is something romantic

about early evenings.

Farewell to the glorious sunshine

 of autumn days.

Winter, here we come!

All of these winter whites

can lead us straight into winter.

The boots are already out and ready to go!
