A Cozy Christmas Eve Tablescape

I love using buffalo print tablecloths sometimes. This black and red one came from Amazon a few years ago. I have one with larger squares but I wanted a smaller square design for this tablescape. I wanted a cozy feel, we will eat at this table on Christmas Eve.

I have been thinking about using these salad plates on a Christmas table for a few years but the colors are not true Christmas colors so I kept putting it off because I couldn’t figure out what colors should be on the plate stack. I finally gave in this year and went with black and red, not my first choices for Christmas colors together. I bought these salad plates at HomeGoods and Ebay a few years ago. They are labeled Royal Stafford, Made in Burslem the Heart of Potteries, England. I love the cozy house in the snow with lighted windows.

I am using our everyday Fiesta Scarlet dinner plates on this tablescape. I have this dinner plate in a few different basic colors now.

I could not get rid of the light reflection on the chargers in this photo and I finally gave up. These black glass Starburst chargers are called Charge It and they were made by Jay. I bought them several years ago on Amazon. They are heavy glass and work well with many different color schemes.

I bought this frosted white flatware on sale online at Wayfair a few years ago, it was made by Cambridge. It is 18/0 so the fork tines are a bit sharper than I would like but I really liked the frosted color.

These black and red buffalo print flannel napkins are a pretty good match with this polyester tablecloth with squares that are just a bit smaller. They probably came from HomeGoods or Amazon. The black and white Merry napkin rings came from Kirkland’s online a few years ago. There are four different font designs that say merry on this set of napkin rings.

I like these black house place card holders. I bought them on Ebay a couple of years ago. At that time they had them at Target, and Hearth and Hand with Magnolia.

The goblet on the left with the black bowl and clear stem was made by Classic Touch and it is called V-Shaped Water Glass, Black With Clear Stem. I bought them at Houzz online a couple years ago. I bought these black goblets on Ebay and they were one of the first sets that I bought several years ago. They are Lenox Midnight Mood black glass water goblets and they were made between 1974 and 1982. They are 7 1/4 inches tall. When I started buying goblets I didn’t pay attention to the height but now I like to buy goblets that are at least about 8 inches tall because my table is large and I think they show better. Ebay has them for sale from time to time.

I found this wonderful Santa Claus at Smith’s in Salt Lake City a few years ago. He has a red velvet coat and a hat trimmed with faux fur and I love his plaid vest.

I set a red Luminara candle on a Pottery Barn bronze Booker Pillar Candleholder and I put one on each side of the Santa. I bought them several years ago when I started tablescaping. I added a bit of garland and red berries that I found at Joann’s today.

This tablescape reminds me of our mountain cabin.
