A Red and White Christmastime Tablescape
I found this tablecloth on Amazon several years ago while looking at Christmas tablecloths and since I love using red this time of year I decided to develop a tablescape around it.
As soon as I saw these red snowflake salad plates on sale at Pier 1 several years ago I knew they would be perfect for a tablescape. I love the design and details on the rim and they match the snowflake design on the tablecloth.
I found the white dinner plates at HomeGoods several years ago. They were made by Fitz and Floyd and the pattern was Oakdale White. I like the rope design around the rim, it adds just a bit of interest to a simple plate. HomeGoods is a good source for inexpensive white dinner plates in lots of different patterns and styles.
This stoneware charger or dinner plate came from Pottery Barn. I love this plate, I also have it in blue. The pattern is called Cambria. It is the perfect size to be either a dinner plate or a charger plate, I love plates that have that kind of versatility.
The Milano Red flatware is Ginkgo International LePrix. I have had this set for years but it is still for sale. Not sure where I bought it. I use it several times a year on tablescapes. The simple design is perfect with this busy tablecloth.
The red napkins with white trees came from World Market several years ago. They are a good mix with the red trees on the white tablecloth. I have had the solid red napkins for a long time, not sure where they came from. The red and white snowflake napkin rings came from World Market several years ago also. I like bold simple designs like the snowflake on this napkin ring and it matches the tablecloth.
I used my red Waterford Marquis Brookside goblets for this table setting. I bought them at HomeGoods several years ago. If you read my blog you have seen this goblet in many tablescapes. I think if I were starting a tablescaping hobby, a set of red goblets would be one of my first purchases. They can be used several times a year. I was looking for a clear goblet that was about the same height as these red goblets and I found these clear ones at HomeGoods last year. They are also part of the Waterford Marquis series. They are a good match for each other.
My husband loves polar bears and he used to collect them. A couple of years ago I did a polar bear tablescape and I found these place card holders somewhere, I can’t remember where. I will redo that tablescape again sometime because I didn’t take clear photos of it.
I can’t remember where I bought these large ornaments, they light up. I had forgotten I had them until I unloaded a Christmas box. I figured they would be a good centerpiece for this table.
I found three of these red glass trees at HomeGoods several years ago. They are actually ornaments with a loop at the top. (They are heavy, they must be for a large tree!) I have used them already this season as decorations on the mantel and in the kitchen.
I love my Believe sign, it came from Grandin Road a few years ago. The red design works well with this table setting.
