Pears, Pears, Pears

The inspiration for this week's tablescape was a set of dessert plates I bought on clearance at Crate and Barrel last January.  I noticed yesterday that they're available at Crate and Barrel Outlet, if you "need" some!

For the placesetting, I used some striped placemats and an orangey-red napkin, also from Crate and Barrel, and a yellow dinner plate from Pier 1, along with my usual silver and everyday glasses.

For a table featuring pears, what's needed for a centerpiece?  Yep, some actual pears.  I began with this fun candleholder that my mother gave me for Christmas one year after I admired it at Little Rock's wonderful Fifth Season gift shop.

Here's a closer look.  Love the colors of these pears! 

Here's a look at more of the table.

Then I decided to try something different with the pears.  Using some of the flowers and berries from last week's centerpiece, I arranged pears in a vintage yellow casserole.

Here's a closeup of the fruit, flowers, and berries.

And here's how the table looked with this centerpiece and candles in old brass candlesticks.  Which look do you like better? 

Thank you for stopping by!  I hope you will leave a comment before you leave to visit all the wonderful tablescapes at Susan's Between Naps on the Porch!
