Christmas Table

Thanks to Susan at Between Naps on the Porch, I get to share my tables with everyone.  Welcoming and hospitality are important in our culture.  It is nice to be able to be welcoming, even with our blogs.

So, welcome to my Christmas table.

I realize it is late to post Christmas table pictures, but after all, Christmas was a Thursday, and New Year's Eve got away from me.












The little bear sitting on his "tuffet" are salt and pepper shakers from Lenox.

The holly and ribbon glasses I picked up off of ebay.  I do not know the manufacturer on these.

 The bell shaped candy or nut plate is Spode.  The green sandwich glass plate I picked up from an antique store.

 The centerpiece is cheerful silk poinsettias in a vase from a flower shop.

 The salad plates are Lenox Federal holiday collection.

The dinner plates are Creation Green by Block Spal.

The pair of these cute little vintage train candle holders were a gift from a friend.

The candy cane provides a ready after dinner mint for fun!

Sliver and Gold

This is the first of four Christmas tables I have planned.  I love the song "Silver and Gold," especially when sung by Burl Ives in Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer.

Silver and gold, silver and gold
Ev'ryone wishes for silver and gold
How do you measure its worth?
Just by the pleasure it gives here on earth.
Silver and gold, silver and gold
Mean so much more when I see
Silver and gold decorations
On ev'ry Christmas tree.

That was the inspiration for this table.

 

The items used in this tablesetting:

Crystal Water Goblets, Raphael by Gorham

Salad Plates, Pure Gold by Centurion
