Cutting the Last Roses

I cut the last of the roses this morning.....sad face.....there may be a few straglers later,  but probably not enough to make another bouquet.
I decided to use the roses and one of my big pastel pumpkins to make a fall tablescape.     
We are going to have a simple  "fall lunch" ......hearty soup and some crusty bread.
I used some vintage pastel dishes for my tablescape....
I will serve the soup in an ironstone soup tureen.....I tied a piece of crochet to the lid handle in case it might be hot.
I bought this pitcher and mug set at the auction a few weeks ago.     I used the pitcher as a vase for my roses and I will serve pumpkin cappuccino with whipped cream topping  in the mugs .....as our dessert!.
Fitz & Floyd.....
I took down the blackboard  divider that hung in the opening between the kitchen and the dining room.    I like being able to see thru to the kitchen.....
and also being able to see from the kitchen thru to the family/dining  area.

I will be off all next week as Joe is on vacation and I am getting my knee injected..... I have a lot to do...
