I thought I would change out my china this year for the Christmas table . .

~ ~ but I love it so much that I used it again this year.

My Lenox Holiday Tartan.

If I am feeling energetic, I may try another tablescape later 🙂

For today, the table is set, a “greenscape” . .

~ ~ a little less sparkle and a little more green this year.

The tree of fruit stems and garlands sits in the corner as it did the years past.

I placed a garland of greenery and added topiaries, cardinals (our state bird), ornaments and candles.

~ ~ the bird has such a serious look!

The place setting of Lenox Holiday Tartan . .

~ ~ Green charger by Franciscan.

A gift package ornament is placed on the napkin . .

~ ~ it is filled with a “surprise” that my granddaughter has placed in it.

We were told “not to peek”!!

I utilized the bread and butter plate as a “coaster” for the stemware.

A beaded pear is placed in a vintage sherbet/custard glass.

I also used the same glen plaid table runner that was on the table for Thanksgiving.

Taking you around the room . .

A new Pottery Barn “winter birds” pillow sits on the antique bench I purchased at the Country Living Fair.

The tree in a “different lights”

A wreath of guilded and beaded fruit and ribbon.

The vignette on top of the dining room hutch..

~ ~ just added a couple of stems of silvery green leaves.

I placed an ornament “upside down” in a silver creamer . . it resembled a “tree”

A vignette of trees of fruit and a Byers Choice Caroler.

A few more rooms to be “fluffed” for the holidays ..

~ ~ definitely “trying” to keep the decor more simple this year . .

Thanks for visiting ~ ~ Have a beautiful day!!
