Emily's First Tablescape

I am writing today from Ohio, where I'm visiting my newest grandbaby, a darling little girl named Emily!

 My husband and I flew up when she was a week old to help out for a few days.  Here is Granddaddy, giving Emily some cooking tips.

Emily is named for two of her great-great-grandmothers.  Emily's mother, my daughter-in-law, has a wonderful, large set of Friendly Village dishes from her great-grandmother.  They've been packed away since they moved to a new house earlier this year, so during nap time for mother and baby, I unpacked a few for them to use when the other grandparents visit at Christmas.  Of course, I couldn't resist doing a little tablescape with these pretty dishes!  

Their dining table already had a plaid runner and candlesticks, and right outside their front door are holly bushes covered with red berries, so those comprised the centerpiece.  

I used the School House dinner plate and the square Covered Bridge salad plates..

Here's a closer look at the Covered Bridge.

Here's a view toward the snow village our son set up.  He always used to set ours up, so I'm happy to see him continuing the tradition for Emily.

Here are a few more views of the table.

Thank you for visiting Emily's first tablescape! I plan to link to Tablescape Thursday at Between Naps on the Porch and Let's Dish at Cuisine Kathleen.
