Sometimes You Just Have To 'Cowboy Up"

It all started when I got this fancy schmancy bolt of orange fabric out for a table cloth . . .

And then I planned to layer some pumpkins and make a nice and Fabulous Fall Tablescape that I could share at the Fabulous Fall Party.

But...where are my pumpkins? I have an idea . . .

They are somewhere in this mound of boxes that are in our new
(to us) 2 car garage. Yes you heard right it holds 2 cars. Well maybe someday...but I do go off on rabbit trails....

Back to the Fabulous table. So if you loose your pumpkins you just Cowboy up and set a Cowboy Chic table...

And wait for the pumpkins. And the other chargers that are in some other box, and the stemware, and flatware.

I actually love how it turned out.

I love the bright Guatemalan fabric on the backs of the chairs. Since I keep my table set.

I usually don't want to make a mess on the pretty table cloth so when we eat I just move the dinner plate and charger and put the
fabric over the place setting. Everything stays nice and pretty!

I used the Cowboy plates that my sister sent to me years ago!
I added the chic part by adding some lace napkins.

Lot's of textures going on here with the fabrics . . .

I felt like I wanted a little height to the table since there were no pumpkins to decorate the center so I added this metal bird feeder
with a candle.

I try not to let my candles burn unevenly and then I put in a tea light to make them last longer.
The candle and the bird feeder stand were thrifty finds in a box by the dumpster at the apartment. Which I will miss BTW. But not the apartment!

Wanna see what it looks like with a few pumpkins?
I do too!

Taking a bit of a break . . .

...putting my feet up awhile.
