Old Castles of Britain china by Johnson Brothers
is perfect for a fall buffet near our deck.
Thrifted Siam flatware and layered linens make for a casual yet warm setting.
You can see our enormous lantana behind the table.
The lantana plays well with the trio of orange wee-b-little pumpkins.
A client of Joe's grew the larger pumpkin in the basket urn.
China and large pitcher-estate sale
Flatware-garage sale
Lace tablecloth-my aunts
Under tablecloth-is actually a shower curtain
Table runner-garage sale
Burlap flatware holders-see previous post for etsy link
Basket urn-thrift store
Metal table base-garage sale
S&P shakers-Walmart BH&G clearance last year
Essentially the entire tablescape is a result of thrifting and cost little.

I like this theme of castles of Britain, and your table is gorgeous and done on a budget. I visited quite a few castles when my husband and I visited Great Britain so that theme resonates with me.
ReplyDeleteoh my gosh thats lovely!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful fall tablescape! I've never seen a basket like that, really lovely!
ReplyDeleteKat
Were you having a party? The table is lovely!
ReplyDeleteThanks Diane. No party, just playing with china and pumpkins. That is about all I can do right now. Joe lifted all of it for me.
DeleteSuch a pretty tablescape; I've been looking at this pattern for a while. So far, I haven't acted on it; maybe...soon!!
ReplyDeleteNancy
Oh Olive, it is just gorgeous!... it says "Welcome Fall" so beautifully!... your setting is just fabulous... and how I would LOVE to be sitting there sipping tea and chatting with you... xoxo Julie Marie
ReplyDeleteThis is an amazing fall tablescape, Olive. I love the vibrant pops of color from the orange pumpkins.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous tablescape in all my favorite colors!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful fall tablescape! I love the Old Castles of Britain. I've gotta check that out! Anything Britain (almost) appeals to me!
ReplyDeleteBEAUTIFUL Olive! That first shot is stunning!!
ReplyDeleteJust gorgeous. The golden brown fringed runner is perfect too.
ReplyDeleteThis looks just lovely Olive. I love that silverware, so unusual and pretty. It is the perfect fall tablescape! Now when and what do we eat! Ann
ReplyDeleteO;ive, The tablescape is beautiful. You have a great eye for bargains and making good use of them. Smiles, Susie
ReplyDeleteOlive,
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely seasonal tablescape. I think the dishes are wonderful, always love vintage linens. Beautiful setting.
The pumpkins are so smooth and pretty. Did the little ones come off a volunteer vine of yours?
Thanks Carol, the worms got my tiny white pumpkins that volunteered.
DeleteWonderful! That is such a pretty buffet table setting...I love all the layers...and the pops of orange from the pumpkins is perfect! Great job! Have a wonderful day!!
ReplyDeleteLovely autumnal table Olive - does the china tell you which castles they are?
ReplyDeleteThanks Rosemary. Yes, each piece names the castle. The estate sale had about 300 pieces of it and I could have bought all of it easily if I had the physical space.
DeleteWhat a great find on the china, Olive! I just love it! Your table looks just lovely. Can't believe your lantana is so big. I planted it one year in New York in our full sun front bed and it did do great there. Not as big as yours, but about the size of a small bush by the end of the season.
ReplyDeleteIf we do one one thing big it's grow lantana. We have another one this size on the other side of the deck.
Deleteso pretty Olive....I love brown transferware too....it is probably my favorite..well, at least, one of them...LOL hope you are feeling better and better..

Olive, this is just a gorgeous table setting! I love the colors. It's lovely with the lantana. I can hardly raise a little pot of annual lantana.
ReplyDeleteYou did a great job collecting those beautiful dishes. I love those adorable acorn salt and pepper shakers you found at Walmart too! Too cute! I like the orange color of the pumpkins mixed with the brown and white of the dishes too.

My GiGi had brown transferware
ReplyDeletefrom England and this reminds
me a lot of that.....one bowl made
it through the years and my mom
gave it to me ~ a bowl. Last year
she gifted me five more, which
she found on Replacements. I
hope to continue adding pieces,
as I love it, especially this time
of year. Your pattern is really
lovely with the pumpkins and
the rest of the tablescape!
xo Suzanne
I have those same plates....and I LOVE them. Great tablescape, I love all your soft neutral colors, with pops of Fall. I found you on The Polo House link party. Good job.
ReplyDeleteHow lovely Olive ..... I think that I, too, have a jug with the same pattern. I hope that you will think of me here in England when you use it !!!!!!!! haha XXXX

ReplyDeleteI absolutely love your tablescape with all the warm colors and the little pumpkins. You are a master at finding things at estate sales! I am really admiring that lace tablecloth that was your aunt's. Great idea to put a shower curtain under it!
