Hello lovelies, did you enjoy your Halloween festivities or partake in any costume cocktail parties?
Well, we had planned to have a nice dinner with friends some time ago, as we usually do every month, but for some reason it didn’t happen until now. So, this weekend will be an autumn harvest style dinner. Since a month had already passed, I was determined to create somewhat of a “tablescape,” or at least give it try for a dose of do-it-yourself decorating.
I was resolute with the task at hand, and got crafty and inspired by autumn colours. I went to my handy trunk of goodies (including, a wall of trimmings) in search of all things fall: faux fruit, pumpkins, silk leaves, pinecones and many other elements to add to this autumn concoction.
Of course I could not find the exact scale of pumpkin that I was looking for, so instead of being aggravated I used one of smaller scale, then added more pieces for a different effect than the initial vision. It still worked out. I had the novel idea of adding cinnamon sticks to the centrepiece toward the end of my inspiring decorating journey.
Ahh, yes, now all that was needed was a clear vase, baskets, and fun placemats to top the table off!
Between using jewellery wire and glue this week, my little hands will surely need some pampering on the weekend. Now that I am slightly exhausted and need to clean up the work area, here’s the result so far and some quick snapshots. What do you think?
Have you decorated for autumn or did you get crafty in the house for Halloween? Next up, as you know the holidays are just around the corner. Ironically, I did happen to even stumble across someone singing Christmas songs already this week. But, let’s talk about that later, shall we?
Wishing you a wonderful weekend!
ahh…cinnamon rolls…best when homemade! Haven't tried them gluten-free, so that's in order. Love the cushion fabric. Hope you're having a lovely weekend Madison x

Liebe Rena,
Ja, ich habe von dem Kochbuch von Hedwig Maria Stuber gehört. Ich weiß, wie es zu kochen, aber oft habe ich nicht die Zeit. Danke für Deinen Kommentar. xx 🙂
Liebe Grüße,
Madison
Glad you are finding a little time to browse some cooking blogs and do some backing! The gluten free cinnamon rolls sound amazing!

Mir gefallen Deine neuen Kissen für die Küche sehr gut, denn ich mag Blumen auch in der Küche, deswegen haben meine weißen Vorhänge in der Küche auch rote Blumen darauf 🙂 Ich mag alles so gerne, was fröhlich ist! Und die Sachen, die Du kochen möchtest, klingen sehr gut – ich bin mir sicher alles schmeckt toll. Selber koche ich sehr gerne, aber meine Familie braucht ja auch jeden Tag etwas zu essen. Oft koche ich aus dem bekannten, deutschen Kochbuch "Ich helf Dir Kochen" von Hedwig Maria Stuber, aber ich koche auf viele Rezepte nach, die ich im Internet oder in Zeitschriften sehe.
Ich wünsche Dir einen guten Start in das Wochenende, liebe Madison <3

Thank you! x
Thanks so much Mary Jo, it was fun to create! And no problem, so looking forward to more posts on the new blog! Have a great day! xx
Did I miss this post? I love what you did – so festive and fall like. I love making things like this so much more than buying them!
xo Mary Jo
p.s. Thanks so much for stopping by MagicalMined.blogspot.com!
Sounds like you are having a wonderful time. That fabric looks very interesting, though personally I prefer more traditional and solid colour or stripe/cheque options in white, red or yellow, linen or cotton kind of thing. x

I'm planning on baking cinnamon rolls this winter, I never tried gluten free ones before, these look so delicious!

I'm happy that you were inspired Kim. You're so sweet. Now, go forth and do some baking lady! haha. 🙂 xx
I agree, it's such a wonderful smell! 🙂 Thank you,Jyoti!
Vielen Dank, Vanessa! xo
Enjoy the week!
Absolutely! And, perfect for preparing for the holiday season. thanks Mary Jo! 🙂
Thanks Kim! Glad that you liked them too! 🙂
C'mon over! 🙂 xo hehe.
Glad that you liked my selection Rowena. It definitely brings a vibrance in the kitchen! xx
Thank you Adeola! Hoe you're doing well dear. xx
Thanks! Ha … Yes, eating is the best part, which is why I take intervals with the cooking bit. 🙂
I totally understand Cee. I usually have NO time to such things, but was very happy this time, since it's been a long while for us entertaining. Pinterest is entirely addicting isn't it? Haha. Thanks for your comment. 🙂 xx/M
Thank you! 🙂
Madison
Great! I finally have many sets that I love to choose from for the seasons now, and liked these bold but still simple and printed. Thanks for your comment.:-) xo
Thanks dear. I loved the blule colour! Yes, I used a mix of these two:the first one, then cut the sugar for the second batch, since I cannot have it, http://www.imglutenfree.com/cinnamon-rolls/ &

Oh, yes the smell is like no other. Thanks doll, enjoy the week.
Thanks!
Thanks Sam!
You had me at gluten-free cinnamon rolls! I'm not a fan of cooking or baking, but I really enjoy eating so maybe I need to learn how to make these.

The print is quite lively and I like the shades you chose!

Those cinnamon buns are making me hungry, Madison! I really ought to do more baking, it's one of those things that I would have time for if I were willing to make the time… I'm always pinning recipes on Pinterest, but it's mostly in the name of inspiration 🙂
xox,

Beautiful pillow case!! And freshly baked cinnamon rolls are the best way to wake up;-) Hope you are having a wonderful day!

to be honest my kitchen accessories (towels and such) are rather random, most of them even used to be my grandmother's. but I do like colourful bold pieces too and if I have to get some new towels I will definitely keep that in mind. by the way, I want those cinnamon rolls so badly! yum yum yum! 😀

Nothing like the smell of warm cinnamon rolls and pretty table linens! Looks like you'll be having lots of lovely times in the kitchen!

those gluten free cinnamon rolls look delicious Madison! I usually choose solid color linens also. Those are a very pretty print. They look good. A nap will definitely leave you refreshed.

Yum, the cinnamon rolls look so delicious! The tea towel is such a pretty design.
Madison this looks totally amazing.Wish that I was invited too. Fall decoration is the most beautiful for me. I wasn't on any Halloween party this year but gave some candy to the kids. Wish you a happy November 😀

I have to admit, I rarely do anything like seasonal decor – with my husband being a chef, the main event when we entertain is always the food. But I do love seeing what creative things others come up with and I must say, this centrepiece is just lovely 🙂

Gorgeous! I love how the glass vase turned out – like a modern cornucopia.
Thank you so much Janice! xx 🙂
Thanks so much love. And, yes, definitely hope to meet you one of these days. xx/Mads
That's very beautiful. Here I don't really decorate unless it's Christmas – I just get my candles out and top up my blanket supplies. 🙂

Goodness, just how big is your trunk of goodies?? Or is it like Mary Poppins' carpet bag? What a beautiful autumnal cornucopia.
Oh my, this tablescape is just adorable!

How pretty is that table centre piece? 😀 Sums up the beauty of autumnal colours. Growing up in a tropical country, I must say autumn is my favourite season. It's so fresh and the air is so light. I love the wicker basket you used. I have a thing for such handicrafts. You're so creative Madison! Have a lovely week xxx

Liebe Madison! Das sieht so wunderschön aus, Du bist sehr talentiert <3 Hier in Bayern auf dem Land wird Helloween nicht so gefeiert. Ich habe auch unser Haus nicht für den Herbst dekoriert, denn ich bin ein bisschen zu faul für solche Dekorationen. Vor allem das Aufräumen macht mir nicht so viel Spaß 😉 Deswegen habe ich mich sehr über Deine schöne Dekoration gefreut 🙂

Well you certainly made an effort and created a lovely seasonal dislpay with the most gorgeous rich colours and textures. Autumn is such an interesting time of year and I can't believe that the shops have been decorated for Christmas for so long. I prefer to wait until after Halloween and our Bonfire Night before thinking about Christmas! I enjoyed some sweet Halloween treats last night with more to finish off tonight! Have a great weekend.
