Christmas Snowflake Tablescape

Christmas is just about here - we don't usually see much, if any, snow here along the northern coast of California, so, to borrow a phrase from Bing Crosby, we "dream of a white Christmas...."

Pat had to add a bit of color - all white is just not her style......

To make the place setting stand out, Pat started with round mirror place mats. Then she added silver accented glass chargers.

Flatware is classic "Sculpt" by Lenox

The silver snow flaked glass accent plate is from Pier 1 several years ago

Pat first tried using Waechtersbach "Red" plates but settled on "Scarlet" Fiesta(ware) instead because they were slightly smaller

We bought the frosted snow flake glassware three years ago and never used them until now
