Christmas Eve 2012

Here's another Christmas table setting.  Our school had a snow day so I took the opportunity to do a practice table setting for Christmas Eve.


My Lenox tablecloth was too short to use on the table so I layered a dark green poinsettia-patterned tablecloth under it.  I turned the smaller tablecloth sideways so that it lays across the middle of the table.


 Fiesta plates and bowls in juniper and cinnabar complement the tablecloth colors


Lenox cardinal napkin rings




Cape Cod by Avon accent/serving pieces mix nicely with the cinnabar and juniper Fiestaware pieces.




Pretty cardinal


This cute little chickadee adorns the hem of the tablecloth.

Avon Cape Cod cruet


Love the evergreen tree candle!  I don't want to burn it, but suppose I shouldn't keep saving it.



Here's the real thing - our Christmas Eve 2012 tablescape.
There were 9 diners so I added place settings, and I removed a few of the accessories on the table to make room for the food.





The napkins are accordion folded before putting them into the napkin rings.  Then they are fanned out.


I think they look like flowers (or bird wings).
