Christmas 2022

An old fashioned Christmas scene with Christmas trees and church

In this scene, I can just see families in a small town going to church on Christmas Eve to sing carols and hear the Christmas story.

Our place setting is our china with ruby red dessert cups for cranberry shrub. A favorite in my family at the Holiday dinner table.

A view from the side with the church lit up inside.

Christmas in January

This is my Red Christmas Truck tablescape and I love it!  The plates and soup bowl go together in theme and colors.  The rustic look is completed by the red truck centerpiece.

Here’s a close up of the red truck plate.  It is one of my favorite Christmas scenes!

Here’s the whole place setting with the bowl and plaid napkins.  The old fashioned wooden ski poles on the napkin ring add to the scene on the truck and snowman dinnerware.

Here is the whole tablescape.  I love the reds on this table along with the Christmas red truck centerpiece!  One of my favorite Christmas decorations!

This Christmas scene has a burgundy pattern and a church scene as the centerpiece.  It is reminiscent of the days where many people went to church for a Christmas Eve service

The place setting compliments the snow theme with cute snowman on the plates and snowflakes all around.  The burgundy sherbet cups compliment the colors as well

This beautiful replica of an old fashioned church was my aunt’s, passed down to me, and I love that I can use it in this tablescape!

Here’s the view of the centerpiece on the table.  I can just picture this scene in a small town on a Hallmark channel movie!

We did a Cranberry Christmas tablescape at my mom’s this year with white/silver accents!  I loved the elegant look that evolved!

IMG_1007The cranberries tied in the red with the white/silver table setting.  We used my grandmother’s silver to add an elegant touch.

We had a lovely turkey dinner complete with stuffing, green beans almondine, and of course, cranberry sauce!

Oh, Christmas Tree!

Our tablescape this week pays homage to the Christmas tree and the old fashioned Christmas Eve service at church.

Our table setting brings burgundy and gold together.  I love the appetizer cups just waiting for some “Cranberry Shrub.”  Those of you from an older era will remember that appetizer!

The trees are actually decorated with wine charms which were the perfect size for this little tree!

I love this little church which reminds me of the Episcopal church my dad grew up in. These scenes were created using the figures and church that my Aunt Barbara always had at her house.  They were passed on to me and I loved being able to use them in my house!
