Christmas Tablescape Blog Hop: Woodland Christmas

Hello friends.  Happy Thursday to you! I hope you are all having a fantastic week so far.

It is that time again friends!  Christmas is definitely in the air.  The season for gathering, feasting and for dressing our tables with our finest.  And I must admit, I live for setting a pretty table - glowing candles, over the top centerpieces, and sparkling settings are all main characters.  Setting a table is one of those rituals that truly makes me happy.  It is a time when I let my creativity run free. 

 Today, I am delighted to be joining 27 talented bloggers for a Christmas Tablescape Blog Hop hosted by the sweet and lovely Chloe of Celebrate & Decorate! The full line up will be at the bottom of my post so be sure and visit all of these fabulous bloggers who have created some truly stunning holiday tables.

So come on in! Grab a cup of tea or coffee and enjoy all the holiday tabletop splendor.  

This magical time comes but once a year and calls for elegant dinnerware, festive ornaments, candlelight and plenty of style.    

A twill plaid table runner and place mats featuring classic Christmas colors of red and green are the foundation and inspiration for my table Woodland Christmas Table.  My seasonal table setting begins with a brown woven plate charger.  The plate stack starts with a vibrant red dinner plate by Lenox in the Pleated Colors Pattern, topped with Lenox Holiday Nouveau Gold salad and butter plate dinnerware that is decorated with holly and festive ribbon.  Fresh greenery from my garden provide the perfect seasonal accent.



Complimentary stemware in the palest shade of green and classic crystal at each setting add dimension and sophistication - while candles add warmth and glow.












Keeping an eye on the details makes all the difference.  For a festive vibe, I always like to add a few decorative elements that compliment the setting such as ornaments, pine cones, reindeer figures - whatever comes to mind.  These are all things that make your table a little more fabulous!






I love mixing and matching my china.  It is an element of surprise that is fun and unexpected.






Well, I hope that my Woodland Christmas table has inspired you to create your own holiday masterpiece. Be sure to visit my fellow bloggers by clicking on the links below for more holiday table inspiration this week through Friday, December 8th.


 Thank you for your visit and happy holidays.  

 Janet

    Janet, you always make a festive table, and it's your details I love. They really up the presentation, and add wow factor on a table. Lenox holiday nouveau gold plates in that classic plaid with holly trim are classic, very handsome. Your entire dining room is gorgeously decorated. Happy holidays!

    What can I say about this gorgeous Woodland Christmas table of yours, that I haven’t already said countless of times before of your marvelous work? Yet, you never cease to amaze me, Janet! Every detailed touch flowing from your heart is wonderful, but the wreath of greenery from your garden is the crowing glory of this table. Beautiful - Simply beautiful, Janet! xo

    Love, love, love!!! That fresh greenery around the place settings and in the centerpiece makes such a statement on your table. That paired with the red elements (espec those red beads) adds a festive vibe and the Merry Christmas sign says it all. The reindeer are simply adorable and look so cute with their red/white checked bows standing next to the pretty little trees. The dishware is lovely and I agree that mixing patterns on the table adds so much interest. The plaid placemats are fantastic and something I'm on the look out for. I really enjoyed my stop here on the Blog Hop!

9 Steps for Hosting The Ultimate Spring Birthday Tea Party

Hi friends - I've missed you all.  Things are rapidly changing for us all.  Many of us are working from home these days, stopped gathering with family and weekend outings are basically trips to the supermarket to restock.  It's the least that we can do to help stop the spreading of this horrific virus that is changing the world as we know it.  That being said, I am so glad that I got to spend time with family and friends two weeks ago when we all came together for the celebration of my Goddaughter Daniella's birthday.  We had a blast and the memories made are ones that will live in my heart forever.     My sincerest thank you to everyone that helped me put this beautiful event together.  Especially my cousin, Jennifer of Having Fun Craft s, for making all the gorgeous place cards and backdrops.  They were a beautiful addition to the overall decor.  A big thank you and hug to my niece Ericka for flying in from Florida to help me put it all together and to the amazi

Wood Box Rustic Floral Arrangement Tutorial

So what do you do with an old wooden bit box found at a flea market???  Well, the answer is very simple for those of us that love all things vintage and worn...  We display flowers of course.   And luckily, I scored big on my trip to my local grocery store yesterday. Our flower vendor had the most spectacular roses in stock.  I couldn't believe how gorgeous they were.  Two tone roses in the most delicate soft shades of pink and fuchsia.  I knew these roses were meant for me!!!  I grab two bunches and practically ran home to snap a few shots of them and arrange them to showcase their timeless beauty. So today, I am sharing a tutorial on how I made this rustic centerpiece...  The best part of this tutorial, is that there are no fancy materials needed.  The only items required are the flowers, a few glass tumblers, water and floral shears or scissors.  And in less than 10 minutes, you will have a spectacular centerpiece that will rival any one that you may purchase at a Floris

A Country Christmas Tablescape

Until this Christmas, I had no idea that I was going to be having a little obsession with vintage trucks. Specifically, red pickup trucks.  Me, the girl that loves to decorate with delicate flowers and romantic fabrics.  Hard to believe but it is true!!!  And decorating with vintage cars is seems to be having a moment..  They are everywhere!! So today, I am happy to share one of my most pinned and shared tablescapes.  It is my Country/Farm house themed Christmas table which showcases my latest find. You guess it!  A red pickup truck.  It was just too adorable to pass up.  I didn't know what use it would have in my decor when I first brought it home but it quickly became the inspiration for all of our Christmas decorating the last two holiday seasons. Such a fun piece to own with a great vintage vibe too.   My whimsical table begins with a distressed wood charger in antique white, topped with simple white plates and Pier 1 Imports Glad Tidings Porcelain Salad plates.  I al
