Christmas Table
The inspiration for this year's table was the set of darling Santa placecard holders my sister sent me as an early Christmas gift. There are four different poses. Just love these!
The glittery red and green of the Santas reminded me I had some glittery green candles and a red linen table runner.
Instead of my "good" china, I used my Christmas china, Dansk Winterfest.
Here's another view, showing the emerald green glasses that first belonged to my husband'a grandparents. I love the shape and color, and the pattern name -- Burple.
The monochrome centerpiece is simply evergreen clippings with the glittery green candles and some ornaments.
Anchoring each end of the centerpiece are poinsettia "blooms" and more evergreens in silver julep cups. I'd been wanting to try clipping the poinsettias after seeing the technique in Southern Living.
Here's a closeup!
A view down the table. . .
Time to light some candles!
The candlelight view.
Merry Christmas, everyone! I will be linking to Tablescape Thursday at Susan's Between Naps on the Porch.

ReplyDeleteHope you and your family have had a splendid Christmas. ~ Sarah
Ooooooohhhhh....that last photo is bee-yoo-tee-ful!!!! What a gorgeous sight!!! The place card holders are really cute! They're so whimsical, yet kinda fancy because they're all glittery!!! Very pretty centerpiece, too. I wish I had enough flat cedars here at home to do regular cuttings during the Christmas season. But alas...I do not! :-) I still want those Burples! They are just SO pretty!!! The shape is so different, the deepness of the green is perfect, the cut of the foot is cool...love 'em!!! Merry Christmas!!!
ReplyDeleteI've always been enchanted by the Burple Boopie glasses. You use yours to great advantage. This is the first time that I've seen your lovely Dansk Christmas dishes...great design! I think that this is one of my favorites of all your tablescapes. I also enjoyed the peak at your hunt table and into your hallway. Happy New Year! Cherry Kay
