Fall Tablescape on a Budget

I found some gorgeous hand painted plates at a yard sale Saturday and couldn't wait to create a tablescape with them.

I included a turkey in my tablescape just for fun,      By removing the turkey,  I would have a pretty fall talbescape.       Remove the white pumpkins and my tablescape would be perfect for any occasion.  

 I have the table set for 6 in this photo .......and below 

I have the table set for 4.    

I used plaid place mats to set my pretty plates on........

I visited with the lady having the yard sale.......she was the daughter of the sweet lady that hand painted all the gorgeous plates.

She did such pretty work......I was honored to be able to purchase her plates.

I bought all of the dishes she had in "my colors"  but she had lots more in other soft colors.

So pretty.......

I am still using the existing mirror and tiered stand as the centerpiece......

This is how it looked last week.....

As you can see,  it's the fifth time I've altered the existing centerpiece.

I took some close ups of the centerpiece......

I used the same pastel color of pumpkins that are on the mantle.......

So,  here is my table set for 6...............

And for 4......

You can get a sneak peek of one of my Christmas projects on the pass thru from the kitchen to the family dining room.     I'm in the process of  remodeling a little house that I made for my mother many years ago to use in one of the vignettes I have in mind for Christmas.
