Victorian Christmas Table

We planned to set a whimsical table this week....but as things often happen, it turned into something totally different.
Definitely more formal than was planned, this week's table was inspired by the Victorian-styled Santa centerpiece




Pat and her husband spent the Thanksgiving Day holiday with their daughter - big mistake for a dishaholic. There is a Macy's in Jennifer's town and it had lots of Fiesta(ware) in stock.......we now have complete sets of "Slate" and "Claret."

The large salad plate is "The Burbs-Slate" by Dansk.








The glass candle holders belonged to our parents. Every year, Dad would pull them out and decorate the table with them.


Where it came from:
Antique Gold Chargers - from Tuesday Morning (but available at Pier 1)
Black Chargers - "Color Spectrum" by Mikasa from eBay and Replacements
Dinner and Salad Plates - "Claret" Fiesta(ware) by Homer Laughlin from Macy's this season
Gray Salad Plate - "The Burbs - Slate" by Dansk from Tuesday Morning last year
Flatware - Black "San Remo" by Hampton Forge from Horchow's last year
Napkins - from a local Department store now out of business
Glassware - from Pier 1 several years ago
Victornia Santa - from Pierson's Building Center (a local store that goes "way out" for Christmas every year)
Glass Cylinders (Hurricane Style) - from our Parents (many, many years old)
Greenery, Candles, Antique Gold Gift Boxes, and Ornaments - from Michael's

We will be joining the following Blog parties this week:

  2. Yo, if you’re looking for a solid place to play, check this out. I’ve been using felixspin for a while now and the variety never gets old. I’ve had my share of losses, but the wins I’ve had here have been much bigger than on other sites. The welcome package is legit and gives you plenty of extra funds to explore the different slots. It’s a fast, secure, and fun environment for anyone who enjoys the thrill of the chase. Definitely one of my favorite gaming spots.
