| Come and enjoy dinner on the porch. I made a centerpiece using Osage -Oranges. The Osage Orange-is also known as the Hedge Apple. |
 |
| The Hedge Apple is bright yellow-green. |
 |
| The texture of a Hedge Apple is bumpy. |
 |
| Do you remember these amber goblets? They are from Duz 60's American Concord Amber Goblet. They came free in detergent soap boxes. |
 |
| The Hedge Apple smells like oranges. |
 |
| The bread plate is from Cracker Barrel. I think they are cute. |
 |
| The dinner plates are from Fiesta Paprika color. |
 |
| The salad bowls and dessert plates are Scarlet color. |
 |
| We had a nice dinner on the porch. It has been so hot this summer we didn't get to enjoy our porch. |
 |
| The Hedge Apple is a mosquito repellent. |

I have never heard of the Hedge Apple. Now I know. I love your table. It has just the right blend of summer and autumn. I think your salad plates are pretty stinkin cute too!
ReplyDeleteIs the Hedge Apple edible?
ReplyDeleteLove the table and your colors. Make such a pretty fall table. Fiesta is always so pretty and versatile. I love the percimmon color. I am facinated by the Hedge Apple.
Great Table, Have a great week. Ginger
What a great idea, to put hedge apples to good use! They look absolutely beautiful as your centerpiece. Now I'll be looking for them along roads to bring some home! Very pretty table!
ReplyDeleteI love how you used the hedge apples! Great idea!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful table!

Jo,
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty tablescape. I adore your use of the hedge apples! Thank you for your sweet comment and visit recently! Stop by again, soon, dear!
Fondly,
Pat
I LOVE your osage orange centerpiece! I did that one year and DH thought I was crazy.
ReplyDeleteJo, as far as you know should fresh hedge apples be used for outdoor decorating only? I have never used them inside because I was afraid they'd be harboring some kind of little critters that would invade our home! They work really well on your table with all the other elements! Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteLove this! I've never heard of a hedge apple but I LOVE the way it looks!
ReplyDeleteI love using hedge apples on the table...I haven't, yet, gone out to get a few this year. Someone told me if you put them out along the foundation of your house it will keep spiders at bay...didn't work the year I tried it!
ReplyDeleteYour table is lovely and all of your Fall touches make it look so inviting! It's interesting the way you have used the hedge apples.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much to linking to Potpourri Friday. Your participation is appreciated!
Hi Jo, I have never heard of hedge apple, but it sure did add a nice and useful centerpiece. The skeeters have been horrible here in MA. Love all the dishes, nd those glasses are great. It's too bad we didn't get those special give a ways like in the past.
ReplyDeleteHeres wishing more dinners on the porch.
Happy Fall
Hugs,
Ellen
Beautiful tablescape, Jo! There's a nature preserve near me where I go hiking. I never knew what Hedge Apples were until I saw some on the ground there and researched them! I love how you've used them as a centerpiece. You really have a nice blog! Hugs,
