This Christmas, I am looking for warmth and comfort at my table. A vintage feel of long ago. A marriage of red and white, mismatched patterns and different decades all coming together with hints of candle light and greenery.
Mismatched plates and decades alike work together to set the mood...
Victorian crackers giving us a Dickens feel...
A different transferware-inspired entree plate tops off the Antique Rose, Churchill. Bringing together a sense of unison.
Pretty etched wine glasses are coupled with the old style Champagne Coupes.
In the background, sits my little tree in the vintage coal bucket. This was a present from Lucie. She's such a generous girl.
Rogers, Magestic 1928 silver-plated flatware adorns each plate.
My centerpiece is simple and low. A pine garland with vintage sheet music holly and pine cones. I love the look of all things over the top, but find myself all too practical, thinking....how will they see each other? Where will they place the food? They will surely remove the centerpiece before dining, right? I catch myself and laugh...I am just too practical aren't I? Someday, I will try to do over the top. I promise.
This year I am hosting on Christmas Eve. I'll be serving traditional turkey, stuffing with chestnuts, mashed potatoes, baked squash, brussel sprouts, rolls, and pumpkin pie.
Only three more days of my long term 7 Th grade English class. There could be no better Christmas present....
