Tablescape Inspiration

I took the challenge!

Considering that Katie issued this pinteresting proposal on none other than my birthday and that I missed the last challenge, I felt the need to definitely get in on the action this time!  So, today I’m linking/pinning up with Katie, Sherry, Ana, and Erin.

I pinned this

to my outfit inspiration board a while ago.  I’m not sure of the original source but I’ve seen this outfit on a number of fall wardrobe inspiration lists around blogland.  This outfit stood out to me for two reasons.  One – I never would have thought to pair that Burberry scarf with olive green, and yet it looks so great together.  Two – I already have that scarf.  Well, truth be told, mine is actually a knockoff.  I bought it years ago for $22.  I’m not usually a knockoff kind of girl but this scarf looks a lot like the real thing.  While I was definitely inspired to try wearing my scarf with a little olive green this season I was also inspired to turn this outfit into a tablescape.

I challenged myself to use only what I already had on hand.  I laid the scarf down first.  Then I put together a simple centerpiece.  I used a wooden tray that is the same color as the boots and handbag and layered it with moss and pumpkins ( I painted last year).  The wine bottle candleholders (were a gift from my mother-in-law a few years ago) bring in more of that olive green color.

I already had the olive green napkins.  To pull in the denim part of the outfit, I made napkins rings using an old pair of jeans my son had outgrown.

I hot glued a gold leather ribbon (I use for wrapping small gifts) to the edge and then hot glued the edges together.
