Baseball Santa Tablescape

Not tablescaping stuff: If you haven't heard, we experienced a "severe" 6.4 earthquake this morning at around 2:00AM. Needless to say, it was quite an "awakening." So while I have power (it came back on at 6:00PM this evening but has been flickering. Aftershocks have been in the 4.2-4 range,) I decided to take a break from cleaning up to write up this week's blog post. Pat suffered extensive structural damage to her house in addition lots of damage inside. She and her husband are without power, natural gas, and water for an indefinite time. Please keep her in your thoughts.

Baseball is probably the last sport one thinks about at Christmas time but here in Northern California, the old guys (the senior leagues) still get together and bat balls around. That's why we had to buy Baseball Santa this year when we saw him at TJMaxx. 

Plastic popcorn containers hold candy and a gift.

Although we used this flatware last week, the red color is perfect for a baseball theme table, too.

The baseball accent plate is "Game Plan" by Pottery Barn

Dinnerware and matching Bread/Butter plate is "Scarlett" Fiesta(ware) by Homer Laughlin

Always a favorite, the charger is "Edme" by Wedgwood

The handmade checked napkins are held by the handle of a beer mug shot glass

Simple glass works for the table

I found the small baseball bat and plastic ball ornaments at Amazon

One last look (I didn't have the heart to take a picture of the table this morning. It looked quite different after the quake since a lot of it was on the floor.)
