Nothing too fancy for Christmas Eve. The plates are from Target, and I think they are so fun and playful. Christopher Radko designed them and they are still available.
The opposite view looking in to the entry and the living room.
I found these mercury glass containers and filled them with white roses and boxwood from my garden. I think it compliments the centerpiece.
The centerpiece is a silverplate wine bucket with deer heads on both ends. I purposely left it tarnished to compliment the mercury glass.
The setting including soup bowls. I envisioned the table waiting for our family's return from midnight mass. A large pot of soup is waiting, followed by a winter salad. Santa is soon to arrive.

Very beautiful! I the contrast of white roses and their vase is amazing. The plaid placemats remind me of an old fashioned Christmas.

I'm having fun going through some of your most recent posts, Delores. This Christmas Eve table is just lovely!
ReplyDeleteI was given a water pitcher for Christmas that looks very much like your Bordello Pinheiro majolica chargers. Are your candlesticks the same? They look wonderful together! I may have to start a whole new collection. :)
Thanks for sharing your wonderful ideas & treasures.
