Fall Colors in the Dining Room

I typically wait until after Labor Day to start my fall decorating.  Yesterday while in Wal Mart to pick up a prescription, I browsed through the fall decor, and saw these fabulous tablecloths.  I have recently noticed a couple of bloggers hanging table cloths for drapes.  And at $9.97 for each of these panels, it's a great bargain. Besides, the design just spoke to me!!  I haven't gone all out getting ready for fall, but I brought in different table runners, some rusty colored flowers, and changed the dining room from pinks and blues to rust colors. Lots of pictures!!  Pardon the quality, they are taken with my Iphone.  My camera is shot! Looking in from the family room. Close up of the design on the tablecloth! I have a large collection of table runners mostly from thrifting, and chose this one for its colors, and for the length.  I removed the drop cloth table cloth from the table, and the table protectors as well.  I wante...

The flowers are new from the Dollar Tree ($4.00).  My hand just reached out and grabbed these of its own volition.  I thought I had a wreath here and had planned to "update" it, but I haven't found it.  Anyway, here is a photo of the table I set using what was available.    The rooster on the tray was a consignment find some months ago.  The Ball jar holds a piece of burlap that I stenciled with orange paint and some extra tea light candles.  The wooden pineapple begs for a coat of white, but...
