Practicing for luncheon...Number 3

Fall is just around the corner and I love those autumn colors...so the Number 3 tablescape looks forward to that wonderful season, with a more casual feel!  We are sticking to the same menu, though dessert might have some of the flavors of fall-maybe apples and cinnamon.

 
Gold, red, and white...and more a more casual setting-no table cloth either

  
The white plate for the onion mushroon tart, square plate for salad, and clear footed dish for shrimp cocktail...oops...I forgot to put out the cocktail forks  :-(
 
 
Another square plate on the upper left with a casual cup.  We'll have dessert and coffee...
  
A last look...hope you enjoyed it!
 
The dish on the dishes... 
  • The white plates are Royal Albert "Old English Garden".  This is a discontinued pattern but I found these on ebay
  • The square floral plate I found at T.J.Maxx for less than $2 each
  • The  flatware is my Reed & Barton "Rathmore"
  • Gold damask napkins are from Linens and Things several years ago
  • The white cups also from Linens and Things
  • Red placemats from Big  Lots (and I wish I had bought several more!!!)
  • Clear footed dishes from Walmart MANY years ago
  • The clear pitcher holding grocery store flowers has been with us so long, I can't remember its origins
  • The round placemat is from T.J. Maxx last year...there were only two...I wish there had been more!!
  • The beautiful Waterford Marquis crystal glasses are from Joanne (the best officemate ever!!!)
  • Napkin rings from Oneida
 
I still don't have a date for this luncheon and am not sure I am done testing tablescapes either...Thank you for stopping by...
