Fall in Savannah is one of the best times of the year. The weather is just perfect! In fact, the fall is so magical in Savannah, that I almost like it better than spring! All of the humidity is gone from the air, and with the coastal breezes comin’ in off the islands it’s so light and airy. Michael and I love eating outside and breathing in the crisp fall air with a cozy soup as we look out over our garden.

I put this table together on a quiet Saturday afternoon the other week, and I just had to share it with y’all. We sat on the north end of our home, near the chicken coop. I made a sweet and savory soup and salad, and served it in some beautiful old bowls from my grandparents’ restaurant- these are two of the most precious things I own.

Take these tips, and make this table your own! Do you have a special recipe, or fall-inspired decorating idea? I’d love to hear about them!

The Table: I found some vintage Bakelite flatware and pewter soupspoons in my butlers’ pantry. I thought they were so sweet and simple. Just a remnant of vintage yellow gingham was used for the table-runner. And who says less is more? I found such beautiful sunflowers at the Farmer’s Market right here in Savannah- I bought three dozen and arranged them in one of my wooden Salad Bowls.

Takeaway Tip: For a fun twist on a place card, I fill a squeeze bottle with sour cream, and monogrammed the first initials of our names on top of each bowl of soup. It’s all about the details, y’all!
