A Reindeer Sleigh Christmas Tablescape
This Reindeer Sleigh Christmas tablescape is a repeat of one I did several years ago with a couple minor changes. I bought the tablecloth and napkins at HomeGoods several years ago. It always signals the Christmas season when I see these colors together in a tablecloth. The Bordallo Pinheiro red Christmas plates are some of my favorite plates.
I just love the detailed relief design on these salad plates. I have several of these plates without the scalloped edge and only a couple with it so I am always watching for more. They came from Ebay, I bought a few at a time over the years.
The detailed pattern with poinsettias and holly around the edge of the dinner plates is so perfect for the holiday season. I also bought these a few at a time on Ebay over several years.
The charger was made with both a scalloped edge and a simple circular edge. I am still looking for more chargers with scalloped edges in this pattern. They came from Ebay as well.
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. You can read my blog post about what to consider when you are buying flatware here.
The wood reindeer napkin rings are probably vintage and I found them on Ebay several years ago. The tablecloth and napkins are a flannel material, just right for dinner on a cool evening. To read about the What, Where and How of napkin rings please click here.
These reindeer lantern place card holders actually have a switch and they light up. I found them at Pier 1 several years ago. I was really sad that our Pier 1 store closed. I found some wonderful treasures there over the years. Their online store has a poor selection and everything is overpriced.

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 on several tablescapes. I think that these smaller vintage ice tea glasses are a pattern called Fostoria Colonial Dame Green. This pattern was made from 1948-1964, I bought them on Ebay. You can read my blog post about what to consider when you are buying goblets for your tablescaping collection including the colors that I use most often here.
I found this wonderful reindeer sleigh in a gift shop in Salt Lake City while I was on vacation there several years ago. That gift shop is closed now and I really miss what a great shop it was for finding unique holiday treasures. I filled the sleigh with one of the napkins and a grouping of pine cones and red and green ornaments.
I love a red and green color combination on a table this time of year. It is just so festive!
