Monotone Gray (To Match the Weather) Christmas Tablescape

We were met with this morning's news from our friends at the local National Weather Service that said "wide spread power outages expected with high wind warnings and possible flooding and landslides, 60 miles per hour gusts along the coast....steady, moderate rain with two to four inches every 24 hours through Saturday...." Good grief - another soggy, wet, and possible "dark" week. So...it seemed appropriate to set this week's table to match.




Flatware is "Primary" by Noritake.


The dinner plate is "The Burbs" by Dansk
Charcoal gray charger is "Gray Faience" by Christofle

Love this glass but I don't know the name of the pattern or maker.
Sorry about the glare - I only had. literally, two or three minutes of enough light to take pictures....

Getting Started (Yes It's Time) For Christmas

With apologies to those who think it's too early to "think Christmas," - wrong. I was ready for it in September. And Pat plans all year long - she decorates the entire house top to bottom - and it has a totally different theme each year so she needs plenty of time to gather new decorations. With that in mind, Pat came up with this week's "Starting to shop For Christmas" tablescape.
You can see that the color and the zebra print themes are taken directly from the centerpiece nutcracker
Yes, to those with a more discerning eye, there are Christmas trees in the background (along with the protective "kitty fence")
