A Christmas Tablescape with Ornaments
This tablescape was two years in the making. I bought the centerpiece bowl on sale a few years ago and then looked for ornament salad plates that were the right colors to match it for a few years until I found these. I bought the green tablecloth on Amazon a few years ago . I have several green tablecloths but I wanted this Christmassy green color and Amazon had just the right shade. I added my Depression Glass Circle pattern cream and sugar and salt and pepper set to fill in the empty spaces on the table a bit. I thought about adding small ornaments there but I decided they would make the table too busy looking. The Believe sign on the hutch came from Grandin Road online a few years ago.
I wanted the colors on the salad plates to match the centerpiece colors and it took me a few years years to find these salad plates. I looked at many different plates with ornaments on them but none of them had the right colors. These plates originally came from Crate and Barrel several years ago. As soon as I saw them on Ebay, I knew they would be a good match. I love the whimsy of the ornament designs.
I added an extra plate to this plate stack because I wanted to alternate the red and green colors. This Fiesta salad plate is part of our every day dishes set. The color is scarlet. They came from Macy’s several years ago.
The dinner plates are made by Fiesta and the color is shamrock. I bought them at Macy’s a few years ago.
This stoneware charger or dinner plate came from Pottery Barn. I love this plate, I also have it in a pale blue and a sage green. 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. I use it as a charger more than I do as a dinner plate. It is often in use on my Christmas tablescapes, 4th of July tablescapes, and for Valentine’s Day.
This Milano Red flatware is Ginkgo International LePrix. I have had this set for several years. Not sure where I bought it. I use it several times a year on tablescapes. I also bought the set in black and I use that set often too.
I was so lucky to find these napkins with an ornaments design on Etsy a fewyears ago. I looked for a long time and they are a perfect match for the centerpiece and the colors on this table. Meg at ME2Designs on Etsy has made me many sets of napkins over the past few years and I am so glad that I found her! Sometimes I tell her what subject I am looking for and she sends me photos of samples of fabric to choose from! I bought the ornament napkin rings on Ebay a few years ago. They were burgundy with a raised beige snowflake design but I knew Hubby could paint them for me. I was looking for a simple design because of the busy pattern on the napkins and they are perfect.
They can be used as place card holders as well.
I found these ornament place card holders/napkin rings on Ebay a few years ago. They were made by Mud Pie in 2010. The colors are perfect for this table, I got lucky!
I am using my red Waterford Marquis Brookside goblets again on this table. If you read my blog, you have seen these goblets several times. 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 bought these goblets years ago at HomeGoods. I bought a set because I love the fact that they are a bit taller than other goblets and the design goes well with everything. The green goblets came from Pier 1 several years ago, I use them several times a year. I like how tall they are and the simple spiral design.
Grandin Road online had this Ornament Serving Bowl with a ladle in their catalog for a couple of years. I bought it a few years ago on sale. I love the Christmassy colors and the peppermint ladle. It will probably sit out somewhere during part of the holiday season just for decoration. The first time I saw it I knew it would make a wonderful centerpiece for a Christmas tablescape. It just took me a few years to pull it all together! I bought the Kurt Adler garland to scatter around it on Amazon a few years ago to add a bit more interest and match the peppermint pattern.

This salad plate has another slightly different ornament design. I love the red and green colors on this Christmas tablescape and how everything ties together.
