Autumn dining

Do these photos of fall dining outdoors make you wish you could transport yourself into these pictures!! The way the photographer shoots these phtos makes you feel like you are missing out on the party! I personally do not know one person that has put on a shin-dig like any of these But I want to do one and would love to attend any others!!! I would love to entertain like this…have a huge group of people over and have the table set so it would just feel like you have been transported to another place and time…… An escape from reality…… Pretending you are in the South of France or the vineyards in Napa Valley, California instead of just in your own backyard.
I do own gold goblets like these! I got them at this really chic place called Walmart for about $2.00 0r $3.00 a glass! I thought it was such a score! Then they also had these adorable fall leaf looking salad plates for about the same price and I bought twelve!! Hoping to have a fall dinner for friends but I have yet to have the shin-dig.
This photo with the orange pleated fabric just speaks to me! I don’t know if you can tell but on the top of the tablecloth is a grass cloth rug and then each placesetting has a grapvine wreath with a bowl sitting in it and each person gets there own mini pumpkin as a favor. Just gorgeous.

Karins Kottage

Welcome to Karins Kottage! There is always something fun going on! You would think after becoming an empty nester couple that our nest would be very quiet and empty but our Kottage nest is usually more full than what we started out with! You might find me hosting a birthday party or graduation party and a baby shower on the same weekend or a big outdoor get together with 25 of our friends and family in the backyard or maybe I might be in the kitchen trying out a new recipe for my hubby and I to grill on the BBQ for a quiet night for the two of us. I am passionate about entertaining and setting a beautiful table! I may or may not have an addiction to cloth napkins and fun salad plates oh and goblets too! I think I will always have a home decorating DIY project in the works as long as my hubby is on board with me haha. We have painted A LOT in the 6 homes we have owned in the 35 years that we have been married as well as re-done multiple pieces of furniture, added wall and ceiling treatments, replaced lights, bathroom fixtures and even tiled floors! I have sewn what seems like a million window treatments for our home as well as for family, made slipcovers, and duvets and even a formal dress or two!

  • Great inspiration! I want some of those amber glasses! I liked them on your table this week as well as in the pic above. The colour is so perfect for fall and I love the shape of them.
