Top Fall Tablescape Inspirations from Celebrations from the Soul



Fall is absolutely my favorite season.  It comes with the excitement of a new year of school, Sunday football games gathered with family and friends, the changing of the leaves, and the crisp air that nips at you but softens with the gleam of the sun.  It’s a new season full of hope and harvest.  There is something about this time that gets my creative juices flowing. 

One of my favorite things to do is to create beautiful tablescapes and finding all of the details to tell a story.  Whether it is nature, flowers, tableware accents, scriptures, personal stories, etc. I can be inspired.

I have found some beautiful examples that will hopefully inspire you this season.  As you prepare your home, remember to do it all with love and your guests will be blessed.  I am thankful for each and every one of you and I pray that you will be blessed by the beauty of the season.

This cute knick knack is a great creative way to serve specialty items when hosting.  I love the beautiful dark olive green, it's the perfect backdrop for the olives.  It just shouts ~ It's the Fall Season and let's Celebrate! They come in a set of four.  www.rosannainc.com

You must include hot apple cider when hosting for this beautiful season.  It also happens to be my favorite hot drink that warms me from the inside out.  www.CelebrationsfromtheSoul.com, www.Edgeflowers.com

We are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. Ephesians 2:10

God's Handiwork

Years ago, I started praying to God to be used to glorify him.  I knew what my gifts and talents were but I wasn't sure how I could glorify Him in my works.  After much prayer, meditation and reflection He blessed me with the Spiritual Gift of Hospitality and it has given me so much purpose in my life.   It is truly a wonderful feeling to know what God has put you on this earth to do.  I try to get up everyday, hopeful and fully aligned with God and do the best that I can do with the assignments that he gives me.  Some days, I do not move with him, but my heart starts tugging at me and I quickly know to make the shift to get back on target.  This way of living brings me so much peace.   As we go into the new season of Fall (my favorite time of year),  I am excited and thrilled beyond belief of the work that God has before me.  I hope and pray that you reflect on what your gifts and talents are and start sharing them with the world.  Peace and blessings to you!
