I have had these little cardboard houses for years and finally put them together for this table. It’s a really simple centerpiece–just the 3 houses and the church, along with some mercury glass and porcelain trees, and a couple strands of shiny brite glass garland in pale blues, golds, and white. So serene, like aContinue reading “Silent Night Holiday Table”

Holiday Table Ideas
During the COVID holidays, I challenged myself to come up with really cute/creative tablescapes using only items that I had in the house at the time.

Holiday Dinner Party–Reposted
My sister in law is hosting a dinner this weekend and asked if I could help her get her table and buffet decorated for it. Of course, I said, “Yes!” She had already decided on a Christmas tree theme–using her Nikko Christmas plates, and an assortment of table top Christmas trees. I have a metalContinue reading “Holiday Dinner Party–Reposted”
Glass Blower’s Holiday
When we have traveled, we have picked up Christmas ornaments, including some handblown ornaments.

The place settings are the Wedgwood Service plates, Royal StaffordContinue reading “A Cozy Christmas”

I think quail are pretty similar to partridges and I had both pears and bowls with pears on them, so I had to do a little visual nod to the classic Christmas carol. To convert the table from Thanksgiving toContinue reading “And A Partridge in a Pear Tree”
The Kids Table
I have a FANTASTIC Thanksgiving tablecloth that I bought from the Pottery Barn outlet a LONG time ago when my kids were little (and they’re now 24 and almost 28.) This was the start of this tablescape. It is a natural unbleached cotton cloth with wonderful applique work including turkeys and trees. It is aContinue reading “The Kids Table”
Blue Christmas
I have been thinking about this table for weeks and finally got around to putting it together. I started with faux greenery and some glittery leaf picks and I added handblown ornaments in various shades of blue and some pinecones that I painted silver. I topped that with the Shiny Brite glass garland. The placeContinue reading “Blue Christmas”
