Happy FALLLLLLL! It is the most glorious time of year and one of the best times to entertain and invite family and friends over to eat all of the fall foods you love. I have said it before, but I love putting a tablescape together. I don’t know what it is, but getting to decorate a small area like a table is fun for me. Not only do I have fun with it, but I want to shout it from the mountaintops that it doesn’t have to be hard. A simple, fall table is always the best table because the goal is to encourage conversation with the people around the table. Once you add to much stuff, the focus is not about the people and the flow isn’t as comfortable. Make is easy, comfortable and cozy and the entire time together with your guests will follow suit.
I am joining my friends to share all kinds of fall ideas with you. If you are coming over from The Latina Next Door, WELCOME! You will find all of the other fall posts on this blog hop at the end of this one, so stick around! You won’t want to miss any of them!
This fall table has a lot of items that cost $1 or less! I am always searching for ways to get the look I want for a lot less and I did it with this fall table. A lot of people get overwhelmed with the thought of setting a tablescape because they think it has to look a certain way or cost a lot of money. That is not the case at all. It is easy and inexpensive to have family and friends over. Trust me. If it wasn’t, we wouldn’t do it.
I created a list at the end of this post with items I used or similar items so you can easily find them.
I started this fall table with a burlap runner I already had down the center. Then, I set a basket I found at my local thrift store in the center of the table. I filled the basket with eucalyptus stems and $3 Target pumpkins.
After that, I started setting the table. I found wood-looking chargers at the Dollar Tree that I set down first. Then, I put a white plate on top of that (I found the white dish set at a thrift store last year). After that, I put a plaid towel on the plate (to use as napkins) and a mini pie plate on top of that. I added a wood leaf I found in Bullseye’s Playground (formally known as The Dollar Spot) at Target inside the pie plate. (I made pumpkin pie in the mini pie plates later on and will share that recipe soon). I was at a thrift store when I found the mini pie plates and the individual butter domes brand new in the boxes! I couldn’t pass them up. They were too cute and I knew they would make a fun statement on my fall table.
There is nothing better than warm pumpkin bread in the fall so the little butter dishes are perfect for fall goodies like that.
The acorn stems were another thrift store find. They were brand new on a wreath form so I couldn’t pass them up. I love the color they add to the table.
Copper mugs are a staple for us in the fall. When you add them to a fall table, they really stand out and make a sparkly statement on the table.
That pretty much sums up what I did to set this table. See! Nothing hard or expensive about it at all.
If you are setting a fall table this season, I have a few tips to save you a ton of money: First, head to your local thrift store to see what you can find. You would be amazed what they are setting out in the store this time of year. Next, shop your home. Use things you already have in a new way on your table. Last, if you think you need something else, Bullseye’s Playground at Target always has inexpensive, seasonal decor.
I hope this post inspires you to set a beautiful fall table this season and invite people over. Entertaining doesn’t have to be hard or cost a lot of money. Don’t let that stop you from doing it more often. Celebrate the season with the ones you love and enjoy the memories and conversations that will happen around your fall table because ………………… that is really what it is all about.
Change your mindset, use some of my tips and share your fall tables with me! I would love to see them.

As always you are blowing me away with your creativity, Lindsay! Everything is just fabulous. I love it all. You always find the best stuff at thrift stores! I need to go shopping with you. I’m also going to steal the kitchen towel idea as a napkin because it will help the littles out so much. Sending you lots of hugs and happy Fall, CoCo
