Fireman Santa Tablescape

My sister has a wicked sense of humor - I say it often, so this week's table is no surprise. It's one of her "usual offbeat and hilarious" tables using a set of dishes that we bought several years ago. I chuckle every time I look at it.
Now this is a fun table.....complete with fire engines and "flame" napkins



Flatware is Noritake's "Decision" Primastone







No fire "call out" is complete without a fire hydrant nearby





A note to the family: Yes, that big box in the background is another order of dishes from Replacements. Don't have a coronary........it's going to be OK. I still have a little space left in the garage rafters.......

From the other end of the table

Originally, the table had a traditional Christmas tree........but not for long....not really Pat's "style"
Where it came from:
Red Chargers - "Fun Factory" by Waechtersbach from Replacements
Spotted Dinnerware - "Kate" from Pier 1 several years ago
Bread/Butter Plate - Black "Fiesta(ware)" by Homer Laughlin from Replacements
Glassware - "Jet Black" by Artland from Target (mail order - not in the store)
Flatware - "Decision" Primastone by Noritake (1973-1977) from eBay
Flame Napkins - Handmade by Pat
Santas - from our collection
Fire Trucks - from Ross over the years
Greenery - from Michael's
Fire Hydrant - from Toscano's (mail order catalog) two years ago

  1. I love this table, but where is the Dalmatian dog? The spots are there, but the dog is not! After all, if you have the fire hydrant, surely it needs a dog, and only a Dalmatian will do! Of course, I do happen to be a very biased Dalmatian lover...

  4. Absolutely darling. With those precious plates, you don't even need the Dalmatian to ride on the truck! Thanks for inviting us for a peek. Cherry Kay
