We have great bundles at the local garden centers here - straw bales, corn bundle, mum and ornamental grasses/kale; usually by the third week in September. Makes an instant statement on the kitchen porch - and is great for the birds and your garden (straw makes a great mulch for tender perennials) the birds love the grass seeds and hanging the corn by the bird feeder gives them extra perch and cover in the bare winter. Add my pole scarecrow, an apple basket and wreath - done!
I am still on the lookout for the perfect 'horn of plenty' for our dining-room buffet. I like to fill it with leaves, corn, gourds and nuts. Will have to do an Etsy search soon.
Last season I found some great burlap type place-mats, need to work on the table settings as I think I am shy a few items - a few knives, glasses and bowls. I know I have linen napkins on my list
