I am not usually in the mood for Autumn quite this early but since we had lots of hot sunny days this summer, I find myself looking ahead to Autumn. So come on in and join me for lunch today out on the porch.
I picked some veggies from our garden.
Then I picked some dadlias and hydrangeas.
I used this really old transferware pitcher for a vase.
I am using this pretty transferware today. The only markings on the bottom are Japan.
A gold candle sheds a little light.
We can make ourselves a sandwich.
It is pretty tasty!
Now, I won't send you home without dessert! This peach cobbler is really good-even if I do say so myself!
Have a little more whipped cream if you like.
I will pour you some more water.
Thank you for joining me for an autumn lunch on the porch today. If you would like the recipe for my sticky date pudding which is very easy to make click here.Today,I am linking to Tablescape Thursday at Between Naps on the Porch.
Also joining The Charm of Home for Home Sweet Home. and French Country Cottage for Feathered Nest Friday.
Take care,
Carolyn

What a quaint post! I enjoyed your tablescape and lunch. I could have stayed with you all afternoon. :)
Hello Carolyn
As if autumn wasn't my favourite time of year, you have made it more appealing with this lovely lunch.
I love soups and using veggies from the garden. I had to chuckle at your full apron, that's me too! I have several and wear one any time I'm working in the kitchen and...pack one when we visit family. Grandma and her apron! :-)
Both desserts look yummy, are we allowed a smidgeon of both?
Judith
What a truly gracious and lovely table you have set for us today, CArolyn.
Everything is just so perfect - and also delicious looking, yum!
What beautiful and perfect china for such an transitional period!
Carolyn,
What a lovely setting!!! Your dishes are beautiful!And it looks like a delicious meal too!

Sorry I haven't been by in a few days. Company and a death in the family kind of took me by surprise!
Well, I'm not quite ready for Autumn yet but I must say your post is simply stunning. Gorgeous photos and food! I will have some Sticky Date pudding and a cup of tea, please. It's my favourite!
Beautiful china too and your soup looks wonderful.
Blessings,
Sandi
Carolyn, this is an exquisite post. Each image is making me want to sprout wings and fly up to PEI. You have beautiful style in all you do........Sarah
Dear Carolyn,
Although I am not ready for autumn yet, I like your posts very much. It has such warm colours. Your home grown vegetables look delicious. So does your soup and other dishes! I wouldn't mind joining you for lunch :-)!
Have a lovely day!

Holy cat whiskers I could never choose between those two desserts. Both look amazing. I love this post so much. These are all my favorite colours and Fall is welcomed with open arms. Your brown transfer-ware is so beautiful, my favorite of all dishes. I so look forward to more of your Fall tables. What a sweet photo of you pouring water. Deb

This is all so lovely I really wish I was joining you for Autumn lunch on the porch!
Both desserts please! Everything looks beautiful and yummy!
I really envy you your lovely summer. Ours have been mostly rainy and cold. Maybe I should have stayed at your place instead, lol?
Lovely dishes you have there. And the colors are really autumn. I can't say which of the desserts I like most, don't think I've ever tasted any of them.
Hope you'll have a nice Friday.
Love Elzie

After that feast, I'd be snoring on the couch somewhere. Oh yum.
From the soup to the veggies to the peach cobbler topped with creme' fresh .. snifff.. yep, smells like early autumn up north.

Beautiful post! Your table is so lovely and the food looks so good! Thanks for the recipe. I'll make the pudding soon, but if I could I'd enjoy some of both your desserts! I'm not ready for autumn, our winters are long with lots of snow and I always miss my flower gardens.
Blessings,
Nancy
Lovely! I can just imagine sitting there at this lovely table.

I wish I was there! Bon Apetit

How charming and inviting. How lucky your guests are....
Oh, My! This is just lovely! Thank you for sharing. Visiting from Romantic Home. Would love it if you would share this at my Make it Pretty Monday party at The Dedicated House. http://thededicatedhouse.blogspot.com/2012/09/make-it-pretty-monday-week-13.html Hope to see you at the bash! Toodles, Kathryn @TheDedicatedHouse
I really wish I could join you. That looks amazing. And you just put that first tinge of excitement for fall in my heart. Thank you! :)
Whoops. Sorry. Made an error above.
Good heavens, Carolyn. That luncheon sounds and looks divine. Just divine.
Never had date pudding but I like date nut bread.
Love peach cobbler.
Now, WHAT, pray tell, is your secret to be able to eat such yummies and stay pencil thin? Is it that you just take teeny tiny portions, or what? Lucky girl! Lucky family! Lucky guests to enjoy all the delicious offerings.
Take care. Susan
Graciousness Carolyn!
I am so contented with every lil thing you offered.
TY so much. Everything is so delish and I need some recipe of your peach gobbler.
Happy w/end.

WoW * wOw * wowie!
So much work in your staging and cooking and photographing. This would have taken me days.
Your use of the golden orangey colors is so artistic, and a true celebration of the season. So inspiring!
This is just GORGEOUS, Carolyn!!! and I'm so hungry, right at the moment and it all looks so tasty and comforting... I just want to zap myself right there, right now!!! (whimper! I think I need to cut this visit short and go and find some food. =/)
Love to you!
Thanks for the inspiration! =]
xxoo
(famished, now! =P)
Oh so pretty Carolyn! Love the close ups. Thank you for joining Home Sweet Home!
