I have been enjoying Fanciful Pumpkins so much in my Fall decor
I call them MacPumpkins because they were inspired by MacKenzie-Childs
Time to bring them to the table!
I displayed them “bakery” style, perched on cake stands of different heights
The tiered stand in the center was getting lost so
I elevated it by placing it on a stack of black chargers
Pumpkins of all shapes, sizes and textures are tucked around the MacPumpkins
Checks, dots, patterns all happily mix together
The side place settings feature a plaid charger, white dinner plate, and polka dot salad plate, with a printed flatware napkin and a leopard patterned goblet
The head place settings are a mock candy corn plate stack with an orange charger, yellow dinner plate, black and white salad plate with a black napkin in a pumpkin ring, and a witch goblet
It’s quite a pumpkin palooza!
Last week we went to a restaurant that only served small plates
The server recommended ordering 2-3 plates per person
as each plate featured more of an appetizer portion than a main meal
I set this table with the small plate concept in mind,
when it’s time to eat, the pumpkins can be moved
and plates of food can be placed atop the pedestals for everyone to share
At Ovenbird the 4 of us ordered 10 plates, from appetizers, sides, main and dessert
The food was creative in flavor combinations and beautifully plated
We had such fun sharing and trying a variety of different things
I think this would be great for a dinner party or a Friendsgiving
The pumpkins on the tiered stand could be moved too
You could fill it with nibbles or a variety of bite sized desserts
Below is a photo of Ovenbird,
the Birmingham AL restaurant where we enjoyed a lovely dinner
you can see the menu here
It has such an amazing indoor/outdoor atmosphere,
The weather was mild and the large french doors were open
bringing the outside in
