With all the doom and gloom happening around the world, it feels like the right time to set a table that makes us feel better. Our State has shut down again (currently not in our area but the cases of Covid-19 have soared this week so it is just a matter of time) and Christmas day dinner may be a "solo" act for every family this year. So, for now, Pat set my table as if we will be together (for those family members that live locally) in a fun, festive style using some of my favorite Holiday collection - Elves Themselves by the Whitehurst Company.
No charger this time - instead Pat used two placemats and offset them to add color
Flatware is "Primary" by Noritake
We have this plate in red also.
The napkin ring is from Pier 1 two years ago
Glassware is by Portieux Vallerysthal
That's Reggie up on the pole with his paint brush and Archie carrying a Christmas tree

Stay safe. Take care of yourself and your community. Wear a mask.
How festive and inviting,just stunning!
ReplyDeleteOh, I love this fun tablescape! I hope you'll be able to have at least some of your family members join you around it, but we're in the same boat - COVID cases mounting and we're trying extra hard to stay well so we can gather in the future.
ReplyDeleteThis table is so cute! Thanks for the fun and stay well!
ReplyDeleteI’m crazy for fun dishes so your peppermint ones suit my fancy. I’d have swooped those up in a minute.
ReplyDeleteFun and festive - and perfect choices for flatware and drinkware to coordinate with those cute plates!
