Farmers' Market One More Time!

 

It is about time for our last Farmers' Market weekend of the season, and I enjoy loading up on lots of winter vegetables to get me through the next few months until it re-opens in April! I'll fill my extra refrigerator with turnips, squash, a couple pumpkins and sweet potatoes. Those things make me feel like I have plenty of locally grown produce, when nothing is actually growing!

This Farmers' Market tablescape was actually a part of a workshop I taught a year ago. I've posted some of the pictures before, but thought you might enjoy seeing them again ... and I have a few new blog friends that might not have seen them at all!

Remember to link back to Between Naps on the Porch to visit Tablescape Thursday posts! Just click through Susan's button on the left. As always, special thanks to our hostess.

One of my favorite parts of the tablescape is the flatware ... multi colors that really help highlight the many colors on the table. What fun!!
The centerpiece is composed with faux vegetables, although I typically use real vegetables. The basket is about 50 years old and was used by an old neighbor of ours when he worked in his garden. His kids threw it in the trash when they cleaned out his house ... and I grabbed it! It needed to come to my house to be treasured.
The individual casseroles and the small vegetable shaped salad plates are perfect for this theme. Hope you enjoy!
