This unique place setting is not only festive but also inexpensive! Gina arranged colorful fallen leaves from her yard between two glass plates purchased at a dollar store for a polished look that exudes the warmth of the harvest season. The centerpieces for the table and sideboard were created by arranging a collection of branches and wild grasses in beautifully woven baskets. Turn the baskets on their side for a fun twist on food display. Scattered among the plates and carried over to the sideboard arrangement are seasonal fruits and vegetables as well as a collection of vintage-style mason jars, lanterns, and candles that create a warm, romantic glow that dances across the table.
