Hello, dear friends!! For my American friends, how did you enjoy the holiday this past week? Ours was lovely! We had a bit of extended family over and I prepared a large meal, a throwback to what used to be our tradition pre-pandemic. It really gives me such joy to cook for family and friends!
When you have guests, planning a simple brunch day-after or weekend-following a holiday is a relaxing way to enjoy one another's company. Light and simple fare after the larger eating is a great way to redeem yourself (lol)!
Today I am sharing a fun setting that is great for a day-after-a-holiday tea, or a brunch anytime in the Autumn. This is also a perfect setting for the final one of the Fall Season.
If you have been here before, you will know that sometimes I truly adore a masculine aesthetic. That I am an ardent Anglophile by nature, and thus I love tweeds, houndstooths, and herringbones, preppy plaids, and the classicism of smartly-dressed individuals. As a homage to all these things I love obsessions, lol, I am using them as an inspiration today. I hope you enjoy the post!
The table began with a simple topper of herringbone tweed. Off-white plates circle the table with a mini pumpkin at each setting. Adore these patterns!!
Each pumpkin was then joined by a birdie buddy such as this darling fella, each so smartly dressed!!
Aren't they dapper??
A centerpiece was created using a corresponding extra-large chap and a little buddy surrounded by handmade burlap acorns and mini pumpkins.
Hello, friend!
Doesn't he look studious??
A platter of biscuits is just perfect for teatime.
Mugs and matching saucers were placed at each setting.
To serve hot water for brewing a fresh cuppa, a corresponding pitcher is added to a simple creamer and a jaunty teapot (which will be used for coffee in this case), completing the trio.
I just adore, adore, adore Spode Woodlands for Autumn! It is my favorite pattern, second only to Gien Solonge. Sigh!! One day. You can view this collection here.
A goddess watches over the scene to assure everyone minds their manners. :)
Antique gold flatware completes the setting, and it's time for tea!
Simple Centerpiece:
If tomfoolery isn't your cup of tea, you may prefer this centerpiece as a gracious alternative. Plaid and sisal pumpkins combined with darling acorns made of burlap perfectly compliment the natutal Autumnal backdrop.
I can't wait for Christmas, can you??
Until next time, --Y
