Whooo Owl

October Challenge proposed by Cuisine Kathleen was the
source of this Fall Tablescape! I will be posting this on
these tea blogs; Rose Chintz Cottage, Artful Affirmations,
Martha's Favorites and Bernideen's Tea Time.
The blogs of A Stroll thru Life,
A Delightsome Life, Between Naps On The Porch,
and The Tablescaper are some of my favorites and
 I will also post on them this week!
The challenge was easy after I found these precious white owls while shopping at Home Goods.
Thus began my theme of owls, owls, and more owls!
The First Owl says "See No Evil"!
The Second Owl says "Hear No Evil"!
The Third Owl says "Speak No Evil"!
Centerpiece is placed on a white fluted
cake stand.
You are invited to sit at the place setting and we will
begin with the orange ruffled charger.
You will be served your entrĂ©e on the white swirl dinner plate by Kaiser. The porcelain company produced this pattern "Nicole" with the mark Kaiser, W Germany used from 1970 until 1990.
For dessert we will serve on the salad/dessert plate.
The dessert is two mini-vanilla cupcakes with
orange or white icing plus sprinkles.
A spice cookie adds a taste of fall with an imprint
of autumn leaves!
Your full place setting is festive with the
orange and white hues!
A rolled orange linen napkin is held by a white
ceramic owl napkin ring. The  clear orange and stainless
fork fills the left side.
The right side adds your knife and spoon.
A darling white ceramic small owl with dazzling diamond like eyes has a votive to light your setting.
You can chose chilled water, lemonade, or sweet tea
to be served in the goblet!
The Kaiser cup and saucer is perfect for a hot serving of tea or coffee.
Miniature orange pumpkins and acorns are scattered
across the white linen tablecloth.
We will serve you coffee from the Kaiser white porcelain coffee pot, creamer and sugar bowl.
A tin of tea is perfect with the small white porcelain
pumpkin and teacup and saucer.
Taste and sniff  the fall aromas of the
Pumpkin Spice Rooibos from Trader Joe's.
Or, you may choose the coffee for an after dinner treat.
The finals on both the coffee pot and sugar bowl lid
have a rose with leaves design. You may enjoy
sugar or cream with your coffee or tea.
Two tall orange candle holders with orange hued candle flank the center cake stand!
The wonderful owl shape of the tall orange candle holder complements the owl theme.
On the center of the table the orange runner adorns the white pumpkins and owls.
The orange owl candle holder, large white ceramic pumpkin, and orange glitter pumpkin decorate each end of the table.
The close-up of the pumpkins shows the different textures and colors of these accents.

We are glad to share this orange and white owl theme
 tablescape with you! Hope you will enjoy
your dining experience this fall season!
