My First Tablescape - Christmas Breakfast

Hello and welcome!  This is my very first blog post, my very first attempt at tablescaping, and my very first time using my new camera. So much to learn!



The breakfast table is set for Christmas morning.

The dinnerware is Lenox Winter Greetings-Green Band. The dark green chargers are by Gibson. I first tried Fiesta scarlet ones, but they photographed a little too bright.  You might catch a glimpse of them in one of the pictures.

I just love Catherine McClung's bird artistry on Lenox China.

This adorable "Joy with Cardinal" tablepiece  came from Stats in Pasadena, my favorite Christmas supply store.

The table runner was on sale at Kohls.  It looks like it was made-to-order for my tablescape.

 

And the back side of the table in natural light from the bay window.   The goblets are Mikasa French Countryside, brand new with the tags still on.  Our oranges are ready to be picked, so the goblets will hold fresh-squeezed juice on Christmas morning.

The peppermint and pine candle was a gift long ago.  Too pretty to burn.  The holly was snipped from the garden. It comes in handy this time of year.

Nighttime approaches.

Hmm, I think we need votives and a Christmas tree... 

The sequined votives are from Stats.  I suppose I should light them.

There, that's better!  All done!

 I hope to join Susan at Between Naps on the Porch for Tablescape Thursday.

Merry Christmas, everyone, and thank you for visiting.
