Transitional Look for Kitchen Dining Area

I'm not ready to jump in all the way just yet with fall decorating.  The sunflowers came from the farmer's market and inspired my idea for decorating this area.

I've used the sunflower dishes before and the tall black pitcher that goes with them.

Since apples and sunflowers are currently available it seemed like the perfect transitional look before I go into fall decorating.


I tried a couple of different candles and these won out.  They're a pale green and the ceramic candle holders looked the best after I tried a couple of other ideas.


This stick mat is from Pier 1 and sold as a placemat.  I put two in tandem on the top to look like a runner and it worked out quite well.  I can see this transitioning into a winter  look too!

I snuck a pumpkin in but since it's a metal tone I decided it was neutral looking and could allow it!

I'm still playing around with this area but I got a good enough start to share it.  

I added the owl pitcher after trying various other ideas.  The coloring worked best.  The metal bowl will probably have pumpkins in it before long.

The owl plates came in two colors and I got two of each.  These would work nicely for some cheese and crackers with wine.

I found this plate rack recently and mounted it in the corner under the clock.  I thought it would be a decent spot for it.  

These plates are a favorite so I can enjoy seeing them every day.

It's been raining a lot on and off.  It's hard to get good lighting under the circumstances.  Enjoying every day still full of natural beauty outdoors!

Wet and cool mornings!

Winnie the Witch is back!

Please gather round and join me for quick bite to eat!
Last year I featured Winnie Green at my Bewitching Gathering!  She's returned but was not pleased to find Charlie the raven helping himself to the corn that was being saved for the winter- 
 So like any good witch would do- she trapped him and put him under a cloche in the graveyard of skulls, pumpkins and rotting moss!  

His friend Eva can't figure out how to get him out of there!  She's been pecking at the glass for hours!
I think they both missed the graveyard warnings!

 Strange creatures will join you as you dine, but don't be alarmed...they won't bite... M U C H!!

Winnie loves green so the table has been set using these bright green chargers!

Eek!  I don't know about these creepy things crawling around!

Winnie may be a witch but she does love her pretty things...

Winnie adores such pretty shiny objects!

She peers down with pleasure! 

Quietly she hovers over the table-  I think she's really after Eva now!

Charlie wanted out real bad, but it's too late!  Winnie turned him into a piece of wood and poor Eva hasn't figured that out yet!  I think she better get out of there!

The first course will be Ghoulie Gourd soup!  She carved these out and filled them full and she says there is a special ingredient in them- something about toads???

Hmm.... this is scary!

Winnie added a special ingredient to the drinks too!  
Boy, I'm not sure about this now!! 

I wonder if this is a potion to put you under her spell?

Winnie loves this fancy tablecloth! It was specially woven for her by her arachnid friends!




Each plate has a picture of her former victims!
She does enjoy having fun!

The 2nd course tonight will be Ravenous Wraps
with spindly greens and a mystery meat!  Hmm...I wonder what that could be?

 Evening is near so come my pretties-
  Enjoy your meal!
