I wasn’t sure what colour to have for my table but I came across these gorgeous berry wreaths for 50% off so that was the start of the table.
I only have plain white china at the beach house so I used that as the base along with some pretty Christmas salad plates I have had for a few years (purchased at the after Christmas sales!). I happened to be at our local Spotlight store (I think this would be similar to Hobby Lobby!) when all the Christmas fabric was reduced by 50% so a length of that came home too!
Napkin rings were also half price so into the cart they went along with the cute Christmas crackers!! I can’t resist a bargain!
Lots of candles at different heights were placed in the centre of the table. These gorgeous round candles were from last years after Christmas sales.
Luckily I had six chargers in red. Underneath the red fabric I used some red placemats – only for the reason to protect the table surface. I didn’t want to use a table protector – I liked the look of the timber through the sheer fabric. As it was I was the only person who knocked over a drink!! LOL
I love these cute crackers!! I didn’t set places for the children as they are all small and were in bed when we had lunch.
I can’t believe Christmas has been and gone and now we are into the new year. Today we celebrated our grandson’s 1st birthday – what a lovely way to spend New Year’s Day!

Hi Suzy! Thanks for your comment. Your table is so festive. I love the red berries!! My centerpiece is made out of corn husks. I bought it when I lived in Romania. I have a couple different ones.

Your table was beautiful and festive! So happy you shared it at Potpourri Friday!
ReplyDeleteI'm late getting around to all the blog posts from last week, Suzy, but happy belated birthday to your grandson! Wow...1 year old. That's quite an accomplishment! :-) They are so cute at that age!!! So you're the only one who tipped a drink, huh? Isn't that always how it happens, though? My guests are usually very good about keeping their food & drinks intact, but I'm the one who makes a boo-boo! :-) Such a pretty table. Happy New Year to you and your family!
