A Classic Christmas Tablescape

on


I don't often do red, white and green at Christmas. I have a lot of it, but I have been trying out other color schemes during the past ten years.

Earlier this fall, I made a red, white and green table runner, which was the inspiration for this table. I wanted to use it with a set of four candy-themed dessert plates I bought at the end of last season.

So this morning I went down to the basement and pawed through some old boxes of holiday decor to see what I could find to set a classic Christmas table.

I found these Santa napkin rings that I just loved (and still do).

I had forgotten I owned this cute salt and pepper shaker set.

The stemware - one clear crystal and one green.

The centerpiece is a hurricane filled with green/red/white glass ornaments.

Ah, traditional colors do bring out the Christmas spirit, don't you think?

At first I thought I was seeing double. Then I figured out you have two different blogs. This is a lovely table! ~ Sarah

Sweet! I love how you found things you loved and added them to your table. I sort of did that with some of my older decorations-the nutcrackers and nativity scene. Everything old is new again!
