Seashell Christmas Table

The seaside, sand, and shells were the inspiration for this week's Christmas table. Pat used a Santa dressed in beautiful light blue velvet and white faux fur as the centerpiece and added fishing net, shells and white trees.
The table


Wooden chargers hold inexpensive blue coupe shaped dinnerware from Ross that match the color of Santa's coat

Flatware is "Image" by Spode





These driftwood chargers are perfect for a beach themed table


One of Pat's favorite glasses - from the Dollar Store

Shameless Self Promotion:  Pat and I are going to do our annual "Month Long Tablescape Celebration of Santa" this year on our other blog, Table For One (Here). We do it every year but do not always "publish" the results. We select a different Santa each day from our collection as the inspiration and set the table using different dishes, flatware, etc. We have lots of fun doing it and decided to share the results this year.

Edme Christmas Table

The Christmas season is my favorite time of the year - and I love it when Pat sets a holiday table. This week's table uses non traditional off white Wedgwood "Edme" and black - Pat pulled them together using an off white Santa with a touch of red for the centerpiece.
Black and off-white Christmas

Flatware is black "San Remo" by Hampton Forge 



The salad plate is black "Fun Factory" by Waechtersbach



The charger is black "Color Spectrum" from Mikasa
