As my desire to decorate for fall cranks up I wanted to combine some blues with the traditional fall colors.
I went to Michael's and found this very light orange shaded pumpkin. As soon as I saw it I knew what I wanted to do. I had Dan cut a 3" wide hole (using a "hole saw" that attaches to a drill (he says you have to run it backwards- works best- see example picture at bottom of post). This pumpkin is solid styrofoam but some are hollow.
I found a floral spray with blue hydrangeas, white roses and bluish green stems. I also found a pick with the bluish ivy color and a white pumpkin that I shoved down in the center and then I surrounded it with the orange berries.
I fell in love with these dishes from Pier 1 because of the blue squash and pale cream colored pumpkins.
The dinner plate is from Cracker Barrel- long ago. I've used them a bunch for tablescapes. The napkins were in my stash (from Park Designs) and the flower and leaf metal napkin holder is also an oldie from Pier 1.
I paired my blue/green stemware (Bahia Bormioli Rocco ) since it was the best blue for this table mix. The wicker chargers are from a few years back from One King's Lane. I always liked the weathered look they offer.
I stabilized the wicker chargers which can be a bit uneven with a cotton placemat.

I hope you enjoyed my Fall Blues!
I have completed my new garden transformation by the driveway. I need to take pictures to share with you. I had some fun with this one!

Milwaukee calls it a hole Dozer but it's commonly called a hole saw.
(I'm not compensated for this- just sharing the info) Various other brands provide the same kind of saw.
