Copper Christmas Tablescape

Copper has been used since ancient times. It is weather proof, durable, and corrosion resistant. It has been adapted for both indoor and outdoor use and even for a nutritional supplement. And it makes a beautiful addition to any tablescape.

Pat started this week's table using these gorgeous copper chargers that her daughter gave us

Dinnerware is "Indian Tree" by Spode

Even the napkin ring is copper

Copper flatware is "Paris Hammered" by Hampton Forge

The copper goblets are from Pier 1 several years ago

Annual Bikers Gift Run Tablescape

Our County's motorcycle riders are getting ready for the 47th Annual United Bikers of Northern California Toy Run - Humboldt County rendition. Of course, Santa will participate and help deliver lots of toys around the area. It's always quite a site to see....

So, naturally, Pat decided to set our first Christmas table in honor of those generous individuals who give up their time, resources, and money to give to others. 

Pat set the table in black and white - the place mats are made from leather-like material and fit the theme of the table perectly

Flatware is "Hammered" by Godinger

The pattern on the plate reminded Pat of a tire tread

Simple glassware from Bed, Bath, and Beyond

For the centerpiece, Biker Santa, complete with his "ride," decorates the tree

The silver chains came from Michael's years ago
