Fall Entertaining - Take it Outside

Hello!

The weather here this weekend was glorious - sunny and mild during the day, with the evenings getting that crisp fall feeling.  If only Fall lasted longer!  But, it's not too chilly to entertain outside, so I decided to change things up and head outdoors in honor of today's fall tablescape link party at The Lettered Cottage.

I used a lot of nature-inspired elements, and it made for a great look.  I picked up a bunch of these gorgeous ruby-velvet looking flowers at a local farmer's market, and they were a great inspiration point (although I can't remember their name to save my life at the moment!).

A pretty mum in one of my antiqued pots works just fine...

Some mini-pumpkins are a must-have.  I picked up some white ones too.  So cute.  I wanted some bigger ones, but they were selling them for 59 cents a pound.  The little ones do just fine for now.

I can't resist adding another photo of these ruby-red lovelies.  They're gorgeous!  And the guy who sold them to me said that if you let them dry out, you can plant the seeds.  I might need to add these beauties to my yard...

Are you planning any fall entertaining this season?
