Simplified Fall Table. . .

Well my friends, I'll be the first to admit that the words simplify and Mrs. Olson don't  really go together.  :)

 

In fact,

I'm pretty sure that if you look up the word 'simplify' in the good ol Webster dictionary it would state:

something Jann Olson does not know how to do.  lol!

 

Whether it's a party or decorating, my motto has always been,
"the more the merrier".

 

However, I think I managed to simplify my fall table more than I have ever done before.

 

 

It started with the plaid Pendleton blanket I bought on vacation last year.

 

Then I added a large wooden rice bowl I found at a thrift shop a couple years ago.

 

I tossed in some wooden pumpkins, a rustic acorn, and a sheath of wheat.

 

all tucked in around a bouquet of faux sunflowers.  A friend gifted them to me years ago for my birthday and I love pulling them out every fall.

 

See, really very simple.  No plates set on the table.

 

 

 

I couldn't resist however, adding just a few under a cloche to hold my cute little squirrel S&P shakers.

 

and a fun fall snack.

Quite a few years ago I bought a sign that said, 'simplify'.  I displayed it for a short time, but eventually had to get rid of it. 

I felt like a hypocrite.  :)

 

Tried, but no success!!  (wink)

 

 

Maybe it would have worked on this table.

 

Are you a minimalist, or the more the merrier kind of person?

 

hugs,

Jann
