A Gingerbread with the Elves Tablescape

I had been looking for a gingerbread house cookie jar for a long time and I never could find one that I really liked that was the right size. I finally found this one online several years ago but I can’t remember where I bought it. It was made by Fitz and Floyd and it is called Coleen Christian Burke Reagan White House Christmas Gingerbread Cookie Jar (a long name!). I really love the design on this one. The tablecloth came from Sur la Table online several years ago.

Sorry for the glare! It was late in the day when I was taking the photos and I needed the light. The small gingerbread cookie plates came from Pier 1 several years ago and I have always loved them, such a cute design. The gingham dinner plate was made by At Home with Marieke. I have chargers with a larger gingham pattern and small dessert plates with a smaller gingham pattern by the same maker. It’s a really cute set. I am a sucker for red plates! These chargers were made by Mikasa and the pattern was Color Spectrum, this one in Hunter Green. I have several different colors of this charger and I really love the size, design and shape. They were all discontinued but I bought them all on Ebay a few at a time over the years.

The flatware is made by D & D Inox in Italy and the pattern is called Roma. I bought them at Neiman Marcus or Bloomingdales during a major sale several years ago. There are similar patterns available online now. I really like the marbleized design on the handles.

Can’t remember where I bought the napkins and napkin rings, I have had them for several years. The candy cane designs are perfect for this tablescape.

These ornament place card holders came from Pier 1 several years ago. The design works well with lots of different patterns.

The green glass goblets come from The Vermont Country Store. They are made by Mosser in the U.S. and the pattern is Georgia. They are really heavy glass and very good quality. I have bought a few at a time over the years. I also have them in cobalt blue. I used my red Waterford Marquis Brookside goblets for this table setting. I bought them at HomeGoods several years ago. Hubby and I were in there and I suddenly saw a few and quickly found twelve and bought them all! I buy dishes in sets of 12 usually, there are 11 of us now when we are all together. If you read the tablescapes section on my blog you have seen this red goblet on several tablescapes.

I truly love this row of four elves with candy on parade! I have had them for a while and I can’t remember where I bought them. The boots, the hats, the one with his hat over his eyes, I love it all!

I scattered a few garlands around the gingerbread house to add some additional depth and sparkle.

I have seen many gingerbread cookie jars over the years but this one has the best design by far.

Who’s ready for some gingerbread and candy!
