Peppermint Santa Tablescape



Sorry for the delay - this week's posting is very late.....but not because of us. It seems Google and my Internet Explorer decided that I didn't need to post. Wrong. After several days of "wrangling," I am finally able to get this week's table published. (Somehow they felt that my three week old computer was too "old" to support the Internet connection. And I'm the one who supposedly doesn't know anything about computers. Go figure.... )

 

Anyway, Pat was in a very Peppermint mood when she set the table this week.....

 

Over view of the table

Ceramic handled flatware is "Primary" by Noritake

The place setting.

Pat added candy canes to the napkin ring

I've had this candy jar for almost forty years

For more peppermint to the table, Pat added a peppermint spoon to stir 

Of course, peppermint swirl tea lights.....

Yes, it's Ralph, my three foot tall frog dressed as Santa joining the festivities....Pat borrowed her husband's Santa costume (Jim's a trooper - he is always letting us take some clothing item of his for Ralph - Thanks, Jim)

One last look from the other end of the table

The "man" himself.....Santa

Ralph from head to toe.....sorry, I couldn't get Monroe, my long haired red Dachshund to get out of the picture....)
