A Merry Christmas Tablescape

As sometimes happens, this Christmas tablescape design started out going in one direction and ended up going in a completely different direction but I think it turned out alright. I found this BiscayneBay textured forest green tablecloth on Amazon a few years ago. I love the rich deep forest green color and the texture.

I have had these burgundy and forest green Christmas Tree earthenware transferware salad plates for a few years. They were made by Johnson Bros. in England and the pattern was called Old British Castles. I think that these plates are a newer reproduction of the design and I think that I bought them at HomeGoods several years ago.

I can’t remember where I bought these forest green dinner plates, somewhere in the last year or so.

I used my burgundy Mikasa Color Spectrum chargers on this tablescape but this photo shows it as more red than burgundy. The previous photos show the color more accurately. I bought them a few at a time as I found them on Ebay some years ago.

I bought this frosted white flatware on sale online at Wayfair several 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 white color. You can read my blog post about what to consider when you are buying flatware here.

The camera is playing tricks again, the polyester napkins are burgundy like the chargers. I’m not sure where I bought these napkins online. The Santa napkin rings came from Ebay a few years ago. To read about the What, Where and How of napkin rings please click here.

I can’t remember where I bought these cast iron forest green pine tree place card holders. They are heavy! I like buying metal tablescaping items because I know that they won’t break and they will last a long time. To read about the what, where, and how of place card holders, please click here.

This sage green glass goblet on the left is a perfect match for this tablecloth and I like the height of them. I am not sure where I bought them. The pink glass goblet on the right came from HomeGoods a few months ago. It was the best match that I had for the burgundy color of the chargers and the salad plates. 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 love this Santa cookie jar. He has such a sweet face. If you read my blog you have seen that I have a weakness for cookie jars. Hubby found this Santa at Goodwill and it had a few tiny chips that I covered with marking pen and a few larger ones that Hubby painted over. They don’t show at all now. I set him on a small green cake stand and wrapped part of a faux pine garland around him with a few faux berries. I was decorating one of the trees and I saw a few burgundy and forest green tin ornaments and I added them to the centerpiece too.

I bought this Mosser Glass Panel Hunter Green salt and pepper set online at Everything Kitchens a few years ago.

I probably bought this vintage 1976 Avon Cape Cod ruby red salt and pepper set on Ebay a few years ago.
