a pumpkiny party


A few weeks ago us Bloomers had a little pre-Hallowe'eny get together with some friends. And since we like to make things purty, we decided that our table setting should look as purty as can be. This is easy in the fall, with so many wonderful things to work with - fall colours, drying flowers, and of course punkins! I found these little ghostly ones, used at each place settings, at Loblaws; the tablecloth is a damask sheet I got from Urban Outfitters that I've been dying to use for something; the antiquey tea set is from my mom's collection; and the colourful hydrangeas were plucked from the garden. Not too shabby for a quickly pulled together look! And, of course I gave the photos a spooky sort of vintage effect {photos just look cooler with a vintage effect, no?}.

Hoping you all have a wonderful pumpkin carving, candy-eating, dress-upping weekend. Boo!

inspired by the natural




I was flipping through The New Outdoor Kitchen coffee table book (by Deborah Krasner) at Craiger's family home in Parry Sound the other weekend, and felt very inspired by these simple, rustic and natural table settings. I think it has something to do with the way linens are so naturally tossed over the tables - with no worries of exposing the table legs. Very refreshing...and every bit as yummy as the food that will probably get set out on them!
