Harvest Time is Right Around the Corner

(Pinterest)

In my last post I shared how  I got inspired by the latest Victoria Bliss edition...

It was then I started noticing  things around my world that were signaling harvest time...

  the  mums are blooming!

and  housewives are  sharing their  canning photos...

My cousin, Patti's,  gorgeous   harvest~

So  I dont feel too out of sync  with my new  table scape..  besides it  makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside!!!

I just love  blue transfer ware.. especially the  English pastoral  designs..  as seen here on pinterest.

Today I created my own  harvest  table scape  that has been mulling about in my imagination this week..

 My harvest arrangement is  elevated on a  pedestal  covered with  burlap... the  container  is decorated with  sheaves of wheat....  I went straight to my  storage box with the sunflowers  since they were my original  inspiration.....there I also found the harvest items..  stemmed  fruit and  veggies,  as well as other  early  autumn  flowers!

 whatever the angle I love how the blue pops in the  china pieces.. which is  my mix and match blue transferware  that I have collected for some years now...  That is one of my favorite  things to  shop for in antique and consignment shops~

I particualarly love the castle  designs....

This actually the first time  I believe ever that I elevated the centerpiece....  I like it very much! 

especially when I have the appropriate items to  align aorund the  base. 

I  think it  is a very  lovely  complication  and  one  we will enjoy   for this rest of  the summer....
besides I am so ready for autumn.... 

 And  so it all began with  fresh sunflowers and  alas,  today is probably their last day.. but an appropriate  way to end   this post!

Tablescape Thursday
