Need some inspiration to get your home ready for Fall? In addition to the Autumn Table Setting that I am sharing, there are links to 28 other bloggers and their brilliant, fall-inspired ideas.
What better way to prepare for the first day of Fall than with weeklong Fall Fest!
I am thrilled to be joining my friend Angie, Postcards from the Ridge, in her 5th Annual Fall Ideas Tour! This year we have 29 home bloggers sharing their favorite ideas for mantels, tables, and porches, as well as some wreath and DIY/craft ideas. Every day has a different topic so you’ll want to see what’s new each day.
Be sure to scroll to the bottom of this post to see a sneak peek of their ideas!
So, I remember when I was younger, my mom and her friends would have ‘coffees’ at each other’s home from time to time. Simple treats and coffee or tea were all that was needed to encourage fellowship among this group of young moms.
I love that idea and have decided that I want to make an effort to reintroduce this ‘coffee’ idea with small groups of my friends. So, welcome my friends! Grab a muffin or a scone and a cup of tea, coffe or cider and let’s catch up!

I ‘shopped’ my house for every single piece of this fall table setting. I purchased the Pumpkin Harvest plates last year and was looking forward to using them again this year. They are perfect for my Autumn Table Setting and will get regular use from now through Thanksgiving.
I picked up the small milk bottles several years ago in various antique stores while on a wedding anniversary trip up through New York state. They get used throughout the year, holding wheat stalks in the fall and zinnias in the summer.
The copper mugs were also purchased last year from World Market. They have been used for warm cider in the fall and Moscow Mules in the summer! Apples, thinly sliced with my mandoline, are a perfect addition to mugs filled with cider. Just make a thin, 1/8″ wide, cut halfway through your apple slices to let them easily sit on the rim of your mug.
Of course at ‘a coffee’ you expect…coffee. But, I’m also serving tea and spiced cider today! This recipe for Mulling Spices makes it easy to prepare spiced cider anytime.
These pumpkin cookie cutters make the perfect napkin rings. I knew all those cookie cutters would come in handy someday! I couldn’t even tell you where or when I found that white ceramic pumpkin…but it is a handy piece come fall. And I purchased the rust linen runner and napkins during my Williams-Sonoma employment days.
Cinnamon Apple Swirl Bread is easy to make and always a hit.
You can’t go wrong with Pumpkin Cheesecake Bars, with a crumb crust, a moist and spiced pumpkin layer, a tangy cheesecake layer, and crumbles on top.
These Apple Cider Muffins really are tasty! And yes, their Apple Filling center is a lovely surprise and makes them all the more perfect as a fall treat with a cup of coffee or tea.

September 17, 2019 at 7:05 amWhat a lovely table, Lynn! As I was reading, I kept thinking to myself, “What a great idea” as a read and scrolled through your post. Using cookie cutters as napkin rings is such a good idea. I have so many cookie cutters for various holidays and your idea is another way to really enjoy them. I also have several glass milk bottles that I’ve never used. I need to pull them out and start using them for flowers. I really enjoyed your table!
lynn
September 17, 2019 at 4:36 pmAw thanks Paula! It was nice to put together!
Lindsay Aratari
September 17, 2019 at 7:21 amI love the copper touches!
lynn
September 17, 2019 at 4:36 pmThanks Lindsay!

September 17, 2019 at 7:31 amLynn, I love your coffee with friends idea. If I were closer I’d definitely want to join in. Your table is lovely and inviting. I love that you used the copper mugs for this table. They look beautiful for a fall setting. Your guests are going to have such a good time.
lynn
September 17, 2019 at 4:36 pmThanks friend! I do wish you were closer too! We would surely solve a whole bunch of problems over that coffee!

September 17, 2019 at 8:00 amLynn, I love the waxy you decorated your table for fall! The cookie cutter name tags are the cutest!
lynn
September 17, 2019 at 4:35 pmAw thanks friend! Now I have a good reason to use all the cookie cutters that seem to find their way into my shopping cart!
Susie | Chelsea Project
September 17, 2019 at 9:17 amLove that copper used with wheat! I gotta get me some of those mugs! Your table is so inviting…..oh how I wish I could stop over for giggles and goodies. Totally lovely scape, Lynn…. Happy Fall XO
lynn
September 17, 2019 at 4:35 pmYou and me both my friend…wish you were right around the corner!
Angie @ Postcards from the Ridge
September 17, 2019 at 9:38 amMy mother also used to host or go to friends’ homes for “coffees”. I remember she would get out the china and make something small but yummy. They would sit and chat for a couple of hours while sipping and snacking. Your setup is perfect for coffee/tea/cider and I’m going to have to try some of your recipes. Love the plates, copper, and rust linen pieces. Glad you’re on tour with us again!
lynn
September 17, 2019 at 4:34 pmHi Friend! I’m telling you…we need to resurrect the ‘coffee’! Wish you were closer, it’d be lovely to have you over.
Pam @ House Of Hawthornes
September 17, 2019 at 12:14 pmI love that you are resurrecting “coffee time” in a virtual kind of way. Those cookie cutter napkin rings are genius! I may have to steal that idea the next time I set my table.
lynn
September 17, 2019 at 4:33 pmI hope you do ‘steal’ the idea! It’s a fun idea. I am always on the lookout for vintage cookie cutters and now I have another way to use them.
Bliss
September 17, 2019 at 12:33 pmOddly I socialized more over coffee when I was a young mom…. no internet and stuck in one spot probably feeding babies, and you should reintroduce it, it was relaxing, and a good reason to set a pretty table!
lynn
September 17, 2019 at 4:33 pmYou are so right…and I am! Have one planned already!
Doreen @ Hymns and Verses
September 17, 2019 at 1:47 pmOh my goodness, I’m loving all the copper tones I’m seeing this year! So pretty!
lynn
September 17, 2019 at 4:32 pmThanks Doreen! Copper is always a winner in my book!
Jen @ Jenron Designs
September 17, 2019 at 1:54 pmI love the wheat, I think it creates a quintessential fall look. Perfect for the harvest feeling and embracing abundance for this time of year.
lynn
September 17, 2019 at 4:32 pmSo right about the wheat! It is so easy to use, but unfortunately, my cat can’t seem to get enough of it!
Marie
September 17, 2019 at 2:12 pmI remember those days of my Mom always having fresh baked goods at the ready for impromptu coffee visits. Your post brought back fond memories! Love your idea of using fall cookie cutters for napkin rings – might use that idea for my Thanksgiving table next month (Canadian). Thanks for the recipes 🙂
lynn
September 17, 2019 at 4:31 pmThanks for swinging by Marie! Such fond memories! And Happy Thanksgiving!
Kim

Lora Bloomquist
September 17, 2019 at 6:08 pmLynn, I always hear my stomach growl when I come visit and see your amazing pictures of your delicious food! Fall flavors are the best! And you’ve created a beautiful, cozy setting. I, too, want to see the return of “coffee” dates…that aren’t at Starbucks;)
lynn
September 19, 2019 at 4:35 pmWish we lived closer Lora! It’d be lovely to get together for coffee!
Christina Woodcock

Kim Jones
September 18, 2019 at 4:50 pmLynn, you have a beautiful warm and inviting table! I’d love to have coffee or even tea! It seems we do get very caught up in our everyday business and need to stop and take the time to relax and smell the coffee!!!! Thanks!
