Gingerbread on a Christmas Tablescape
I did a Gingerbread Christmas tablescape a few years ago with some of the same elements that are on this table setting but I changed out some of it for this tablescape. I bought the polyester bright Kelly Green tablecloth on Amazon last year. You can see the earlier tablescape that I did here.
Susan Winget Gingerbread Plate
These appetizer or tidbit small Gingerbread plates were made by Certified International. The design on the plates was copyrighted by Susan Winget. I have some of her other Christmas design plates and I love some of her designs. The plates came in a set of four with two girl Gingerbread people and two boy Gingerbread people. The set was called Holiday Magic. I can’t remember where I bought them.
Fiesta Shamrock Salad Plate
I added an extra plate to this plate stack because I wanted the colors to alternate in a certain pattern. This small Fiesta salad plate in the color Shamrock is their smallest plate size in the older plate design. It measures 7 1/4” across. The newer Fiesta plate design Bistro has a smaller plate that measures 6 1/2”. Fiesta plates come in a few different sizes so you need to make sure you know what size you are buying.
I bought this red melamine salad plate at Crate and Barrel online with a matching dinner plate a few years ago.
Fiesta Shamrock Dinner Plate
This is the Fiesta dinner plate in Shamrock green. It matches the small salad plate on this plate stack. I bought them online from Macy’s several years ago.
This is another plastic charger from Dollar Tree, bought last week, that Hubby painted Christmas red for me. I wanted a simple red charger for this table and this one works perfectly.
Milano Red Flatware Ginkgo International LePrix
This flatware is Milano Red 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.
I found these metal gingerbread napkin rings online at Mercari online a few years ago. The red and green plaid napkins came from HomeGoods several years ago. I love the red and green plaid pattern, it is perfect for a Christmas tablescape.
I found the gingerbread boy and girl place card holders at Hobby Lobby a few years ago. There is just something so festive and cheerful about gingerbread people!
Mosser Arlington Hunter Green Goblet
I am using my favorite red glass goblets on this tablescape. They are Waterford’s Marquis Brookside goblets. I bought them at HomeGoods several years ago. There were twelve available and that seldom happens there. I bought them all! You can find them on the secondary market from time to time. I have been looking for a darker green glass goblet for quite a while and I finally decided to buy these green glass goblets made by Mosser. They are a bit shorter than I like but I love the color. The pattern is called Arlington and the color is Hunter Green. I bought them online at Everything Kitchens. I have the same color and pattern in an iced tea so I will be able to use the two together sometimes.
I found this Gingerbread cookie jar online at Mercari online a few years ago. It was originally bought at T J Maxx and it was made by Potter’s Studio. I love the icing and the bow design, and the happy face! The gingerbread man is sitting on a red Rhodes stoneware drink dispenser stand from Pottery Barn. I bought these stands in a few colors several years ago to use when I need to add height to a centerpiece. I scattered a gingerbread garland that I found on Amazon a few years ago to the centerpiece. The garland, green goblets, and the chargers are the only new elements on this tablescape, I already had everything else.
I added some gingerbread salt and pepper sets to fill in some space on the table. I found both sets on Ebay several years ago. I often add small salt and pepper sets to a themed table for more interest.
I love gingerbread decorations at Christmas time!
