Simple Christmas Table

 

For my first Christmas tablescape of the season

I thought I would go with something simple.

 

 

The white floral centerpiece

is accompanied by white bird candles.

 

 

The quilted tablerunner and matching placemats

were a thrift store find.

 

 

I love the burgundy and green color in them

and pulled those colors in with the dishes and accents.

 

 

No tablecloth to keep the look simple.

 

 

A quick and easy table to put together

for a busy time of year.

Outdoor Dining

Our weather has finally been nice enough to enjoy some outoor dining.

I picked some flowers from the garden

and used the tealight holder as a flowervase.

I found these plates on clearance for $4.00 for the set.

I put the plates on these rust colored chargers.

I added the orange napkins which complemented the flowers.

And we had a simple outdoor table to enjoy.

Hummingbirds and Daughters First Tablescape

When we went to the mountains for a day trip

my daughter found these wonderful little

hummingbird salt and pepper shakers.

She just couldn't resist buying them

and then asked if she could do a tablescape with them.

"Of  course you can!"

I told her :)

She started off with the centerpiece

and her favorite teacup.

I thought she pulled all the colors together so well.

Then we talked about which dishes to use

and whether to stay with the white napkins or to go with something different.

And then it was time for her to head off to work

so I finished setting the table with her choices.

She chose to use our everyday Corelle dishes.

And stayed with the white butterfly napkin

and the pink floral napkin ring.

I think this is one of my favorite looks,

it is so delicate and pretty.

And my daughter's first tablescape was created!

Peonies & Pastels

When I first saw this tablecloth at the thrift store

I fell in love with the pattern on it but didn't buy it.

When I was back in the thrift store a few weeks later

and it was still there I knew it was meant to be :)

I also found this beautiful crocheted doilie

and the tan and pinks went together beautifully with the tablecoth.

It must have been my lucky day because I also found

this wonderful pink vase and on top if it

everything was an additional 30% off!

I wondered what flowers I should add in here

and then I remembered I had some peonies.

Then I just added some simple tan candles on either side.

I wanted to keep it simple and let the patterns and colors shine.

I've had these little glass candle holders for as long as I can remember.

I added this cute little cream and sugar set

which I had also found at the thrift store.

I added some light pink placemats and used my favorite dishes.

I love how the tans and pinks in the plates complement the tablecoth.

The glasses also have a hint of pink.

And a tan napkin with a light pink floral napkin ring.

When my daughter saw this tablescape

she said if she had button for

"Daughters Choice Award"

she would award it for this table.

Hope you enjoyed it too :)

Lightly Lavender

I have been enjoying my little pansies outside so much

that I decided to bring a few inside to enjoy.

My daughter picked out these plants

and I think she picked a wonderful color.

I had these little lavender candles in storage.

I thought they complemented the pansies nicely

and I was happy to find somewhere to use them.

My mom gave me these wonderful little napkin rings.

And this set with purple pansies were also a gift.

I love pulling things from around the house

to create a pretty table.
