Tablescape ~ Fleur de Lis and Crowns

Hello and welcome to this weeks Tablescape Thursday!

This teapot, a gift from my friend Jain (Once in a Blue Moon), was the seed for my table inspiration this week. I love all things Fleur de Lis and Crowns so this was a fun one for me to put together.

(Sources are listed at the end of the post)

I set the antique claw foot table in the dining nook with a vaguely autumn theme. Although I set the table with silver and crystal, I wanted a less formal table so I skipped the tablecloth ~ I like this look for a change.

Please pull up a chair and visit for a while~

A verse from Jane Austen ~

A whiff of woodsmoke on the wind,

The first chill in the air ~

The woods just edged in gold,

And without looking at the calendar

We know we've turned the page

And it is September.

Time to air the quilts

Pick bouquets of sunflowers

Light the first fire.

Time to put the 'Sweet'

In "Home Sweet Home"

Ah!

There is nothing like staying home for real comfort.

~ Jane Austen
