You know how I love my wormy chestnut, and I love using it in different ways.
I found an old board to use as a runner over a striped cotton runner I made.
I actually started out with three blue Mason jars containing votive candles, then decided that was too predictable and chose family silver pieces to hold different candles.
Hydrangeas from my mother’s garden, Rome apples, pine cones and leaves cut from sheet music dress the old board up a bit.
Vintage “Brown Drip” dinner plates by Hull are perfect for a warm, autumn table.
With vintage linen embroidered napkins, peach Indiana Glass “Whitehall” glassware, and vintage Oneida silverplate flatware, “Meadowbrook,” the casual setting is complete.
Overcast autumn days are perfect for candle light.
I used different sized candles and surrounded them with coffee beans.
Autumn is a wonderful time to gather around the table for a meal, conversation, and in our case, homework:-)

I’ll be joining:
Luv the simplicity of it Anita… simple elements like apples, candles and pine cones with the family silver to add sparkle. The dried florals add the bit of romance needed. Luv it.
Sigh… more hickory wood planks. Envious… Just sayin'

Your use of natural elements always makes me smile, and this table setting is no exception. I can imagine the wonderful scents with the candles and coffee beans. I especially love the sheet music place mats and the musical leaves–simply beautiful.
I am loving how you used the music sheets as placemats! It's funny how certain things jump out to each of us. You have such a beautiful talent with making a table setting absolutely gorgeous!
Anita, love the rustic with elegant silver. The candles and apples and music sheets are wonderful together. Everything in your table top is gorgeous.
This is simply lovely, Anita. I always enjoy your table settings and this is no exception. It would make any guest feel so very welcome.
What a lovely autumn table setting! I just love the centerpiece on the wooden board, it looks beautiful!
This is stunning, Anita. I love the idea of the wood plank and the SILVER pieces to hold the candles!!! I used to have that dinnerware MANY years ago, when we first got married. Wish I still had it.
