| Tonight we're having corn chowder, breaded baked chicken, green salad and garlic toast.
Bought four of the leaf plates from Pottery Barn last year when they dipped in price, but . . .
The duck decoy belonged to my father.

| Happy Birthday to DH! Sounds like a yummie menu. Your table is really cool. I love your table, lanterns and duck make it so manly. The placemats and leaf plates give it just the right fall touch. Frou |

| Happy Birthday to your DH. Clam chowder sounds so good especially now that our weather is rainy and cool, huh? I love the fabric colors in your placemats and napkins. And the decoy goes great with those lanterns and the wreath and vines tie them together perfectly. Sorry about there not being more plates available. I like the woven chargers, they work so well for all seasons. Hope you had a nice evening together. Luvs |

| Ohhh, this is such a pretty table, OA! I do love the ebay charger finds...they look like almost a "rope-like" media..very "Fallish!" Green leaves are beautiful on the dinner plate & the charger & blend in so nicely with the stemware. Amazing centerpc ...love the black metal lanterns & I guess we may be on the same wavelength cause I just bought the taller one for my DD for her b'day gift a few wks ago...with a beautiful "sandlewood" candle...great minds think alike, uh? LOL! And that precious decoy of your Dad's is perfect for this b'day table along with the vines & wreath! Love everything! TFS! Jeanne S. ...oh, happy b'day to DH! |

| OA, That's a table after my own heart! Unlike a lot of you gals, I love orange and brown, and all autumn colors. And I love plaid. I think your hunter green tablecloth sets the perfect background for this wonderful table. I'd love to have leaf plates like that. The vines, the lantern, the decoy--it's just perfect! - Magpie |

| OA. what a neat birthday table/ :love your lanterns, and the decoy is priceless. Does it seem to anyone else that all our tastes seem to run in the same direction? I have always loved lanterns, and decoys. Are the vines for real from your garden or faux, which ever , they are just the perfect finishing touch. Belated HAPPY BIRTHDAY wishes to DH! How could it not be great with such a nice dinner served on such a pretty table. Janet |
