Lenox Winter Greetings Tablescape - #6

Lenox has continued to produce the very popular Holiday pattern, "Winter Greetings", for the last thirty years. It is elegant and at the same time, has a rustic, outdoors feeling with assorted birds, greenery, and ribbon. 








The gold flatware has become one of our favorites - I found it on eBay years ago and never learned the name of the pattern.

A simple centerpiece this time - a tree, a Santa and some greenery with a few "favor" gift packages

Where it came from:
Reversable Dark Green Place Mats - From Bed, Bath and Beyond years ago
Light Sage Green Glass Chargers - From Pier 1 years ago
Dinnerware - "Winter Greetings" by Lenox from (still available) anywhere we could find it

Winter Brown Christmas Tablescape - #4

A huge winter storm came through this week and left with it not only flooded streets and downed tree limbs but dark, gloomy, overcast skies for the last few days. That's probably what inspired this week's brown tablescape and choice of Santa.




The flatware has pencil thin copper handles - neat to look at but not so great or easy to use

The salad plate is "Spice Route Sesame" from Pier 1 
The dinner plate is "Martillo Almond" also from Pier 1

The glassware is "Madeira Brown" by Franciscan

Where it came from:
Off white and Brown Place Mats - from a local antique store now out of business
Brown Charger and Plates - from Pier 1 over the years
Bread and Butter Plate - "Chocolate" Fiesta(ware) by Homer Laughlin from Replacements,Ltd.
Glassware - "Madeira Brown" by Franciscan from our collection
