Fall Table

Every year, I decorate my diningroom table with a different fall arrangement. This year, I pulled copper items off my kitchen hutch as the starting point for my arrangement. I used candlesticks, small copper bowls, copper plates, and two copper pedestal dishes.
I paired these with a terra cotta rooster baking dish, a small rooster figurine, tealights, and silk fall-colored leaves. I added some “naturals” with dried grains and chinese lanterns.
A couple of interesting things you may notice in the picture below (Click on it, and all the pictures in this blog, to get a better view).
* One of the pedestal bowls was turned upside down and the second bowl was placed on top.
* That bowl is holding the tea lights, and the dried grains are nestled under those tealights.
* The candlesticks sitting on the table were lifted up by placing them on top of the two copper bowls, which had been turned upside down.
* The chinese lanterns were used both loose, in a copper bowl, and still on their stems - wrapped around the rooster baking dish.
Oh, and in case you wonder what the base is that I used to give me the three levels - it is a brass plate holder. Normally, you’d set three plates on it with three different food items on them. I found it the right size to place a bowl in one of the holes, and two plates on the other two.
