Creating the Buffet

I am so thrilled when I am inspired by other bloggers. I was browsing blogs this morning and came across Yvonne at Stone Gable's wonderful woodland buffet post. If you have not visited Yvonne's blog you are in for a treat. She is the queen of gorgeous elaborate table settings. She created the most wonderful centerpiece for her Thanksgiving buffet. We do buffet style, too and I had not even thought of adding decor to that area. Well, the wheels in my head started spinning and I grabbed things from here and there and dressed my buffet up just a little. I was already setting out where the serve ware  will go and I do have room at the end of the bar for a little vignette.

This is right in front of the sink and at the beginning of the buffet line. 

I just used some silk hydrangeas, dried gourds, a real pumpkin, my traveling squirrel, and some antlers.

I used this oak leaves and acorns pedestal and placed a wicker pumpkin on it surrounded by leaves and hydrangeas.

I already had this hurricane filled this way in storage and just pulled it out and lit the candle.

I added some moss and a votive to a vintage ball jar and wrapped a little twine around it. This sets in the center of the bar.

Playing set up here to see how everything is going to fit.

This side will be filled with dishes brought by others.

It is very cloudy today with severe weather on the way. Sure hope it isn't real bad.

Now, I must get back to cleaning.

Thanks Yvonne for the inspiration!
