Pine Trees on a Winter Tablescape
Pine trees always remind me of the place where I grew up near the High Sierra and our mountain cabin. We hope to get up that way again soon. This tablescape theme has been in the back of my mind for several years but other ideas pushed it to the back burner. I have had this tablecloth for several years but I can’t remember where it came from. It might have been Crate and Barrel or Pottery Barn.
I bought these pine tree salad plates at Crate and Barrel a few years ago. I like the pine trees design. (I get a kick out of the fact that since I posted this a couple people have told me that this plate is upside down… like the white branches should face up…) Lol!
Fiesta White Dinner Plate
I bought these Fiesta white dinner plates in Salt Lake City a few years ago. They were 30% off, a great sale, and I couldn’t resist them because I only have one other simple basic white dinner plate in my dish collection and it is a larger size than this.
Mikasa Color Spectrum Hunter Green Charger
This hunter green charger often appears on one of my Christmas tablescapes during the Christmas season. They were made by Mikasa and the pattern was called Color Spectrum. I bought them a few at a time as I found them on Ebay several years ago. I have them in several colors now because they are some of my favorite chargers. The size is perfect for a charger and they are heavy and well made.
D & D Inox Roma Flatware
This flatware was 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 so I bought the set in a few other colors as well.
These red cotton napkins probably came from Pier 1 or HomeGoods several years ago. The tablecloth has small red cardinals and small red stars so I decided to add more touches of red to the table setting. The green ceramic pine tree napkin rings with a white star are probably vintage and I probably bought them on Ebay several years ago.
These metal pine tree place card holders were made by Style Me Pretty and I probably bought them at Michael’s a few years ago. I think they were black and Hubby painted them green for me. The place cards came from Amazon.
I think the red glass goblet on the left came from Crate and Barrel a few years ago. I had been looking for some simple red goblets and grabbed these when I saw them online. Now I wish I had ordered more of them. The goblet on the right is my red Waterford Marquis Brookside goblet. I bought them at HomeGoods several years ago. If you read my blog you have seen this goblet on several 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 knew I wanted some kind of simple wood pine tree for a centerpiece on this tablescape so I went online and looked around. I found this set of wood pine trees at Hobby Lobby but the trees were different colors and patterns. I decided to go and take a look at the set and Hubby went with me. When I saw it I knew Hubby could paint it for me and he agreed. I am really happy with the way it turned out and I can use it as a Christmas decoration too.
I think this is the perfect tablescape to start the Christmas Season at our house.
