Ceramic Pears


I always decorate my table top with seasonal inspirations, but fall is always difficult because I can't stand the cornucopia/squash/turkey theme. As a result, I tend to let summer linger into winter, and for the week that I deem fall (which, honestly, doesn't really exist in Houston), I put out some mustard and rust plates that I picked up years ago at Z Gallerie.

These brightly colored pears by Runny Bunny swept away my fall apathy, and are the perfect late summer/early fall accessories for my table. They're hand formed using low-fire stoneware clay, and are available in chartreuse, yellow, and pool blue. I'll be picking up a few of them to cluster in some tall glass cake stands I have, and now I'm on a search to get some coordinating linens. If anyone has recommendations I'm all ears, and I'm willing to pull out the rusty sewing machine if there are some fabrics that hit the mark.
