A Nature Inspired Christmas Tablescape
We had Christmas with mom and dad here at my house. Ten of us. Pretty small since we normally have my sisters and their families but things just happened to work out that way this year. Since I didn’t have any Christmassy dishes, I decided to go with a tablescape that had more of a nature look. I decided to use a toolbox my boys had made when they were little as my centerpiece. I filled the toolbox with some juniper branches, poked some red material around the base of the branches, added a poinsettia and a bit of cranberry garland. I loved how it turned out. For our Christmas Dinner we had: Grilled…

A Christmas Tea Tablescape
Today I’m joining up with Layla at The Lettered Cottage. We’re supposed to show some type of Table Decor for the holidays. Well I kind of misunderstood and was thinking it just meant tablescapes. I got my Christmas tea set out that my mother gave me several years ago. She purchased it from Spiegal. (Are they still around?) They’re so delicate and have such a bright crisp pattern that I love. d Tea Time! Hot tea, shortbread, cucumber sandwiches… Mmmm… sounds warming! The temperature outside right now is 29°F. Sending you some warm Christmas Cheer. Linking up with: Romance on a Dime

A Green Tablescape with Some Purple Accents
Most of the children were gone so I had an opportunity to use my green placemats and napkins that I’ve had for many years. I love their color. The centerpiece was some dried flowers I had bought for a craft project which has not been completed! My Scottish plate showing the national flower for Scotland – the thistle. Thank you for stopping by. I hope you enjoyed your visit! Visit Between Naps on the Porch for more tablescape inspiration.

Red and White Tablescape
I served Italian the night we had this tablescape. The pictures appear to be a little distorted. Tip: Always be sure your tablecloth is smoothed out and doesn’t have wrinkles like mine is showing. If you have actual wrinkles, take a spray bottle filled with water and spray the wrinkle generously. It’s a quick little fix that can really help if you’re in a hurry. To see many other beautiful tablescapes visit Between Naps on the Porch.

A Very Simple Spring-Time Tablescape
Looking for a simple breakfast tablescape? Then you’re at the right place. I don’t have a vast collection of dishes to change my table around every week so I like to use what I do have and try to think of new and pleasing ways to present it. Thanks, Susan for letting me participate even though I don’t have a super fancy table and a huge variety of plates, etc. I do get inspiration seeing what everyone else is doing. This particular spring morning, when I set my table, we had a few famlies stop by for a breakfast as they were travelling through. One of my favorite tablecloths is one that I…
