Our Two Christmas Dinner Tablescapes

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas.

Ours was absolutely perfect.

I just simply didn't get around to setting my tables

 early enough this year to share BEFORE Christmas came,

 but by golly I still want to share!

I hope you all aren't TOO terribly sick of Christmas yet, 

I am just so slow getting posts done, sorry!

This was designated as the adults table:

Christmas Day was so gorgeous -

bright and sunny, and we woke to a snow-covered yard.

How I ♥ having a beautiful White Christmas!

My guests freaked out about using our real silk napkins

 until I told them I found them at a second hand store.

(Well, they still freaked out, but maybe a bit LESS.)

Here are a few more Christmas things around this room

 that you haven't seen:

A signed and numbered oil painting:

I have a slew of real antique yellowed large music sheets,

 many are French and some of German but most are English.

This is the first project I ever used with them yet -

I have other ideas, time will tell if I ever get my crafty on.

Here is my old huge wreath that I use indoors

 since I began putting up real evergreen ones.

I think I may have to share my simple outdoors

 Christmas decor before the new year arrives!

The kitchen dinner table was designed for the kids to use -

 the youngest niece is 10 now

 so no more using plastic is necessary anymore!

Their salad plates could match the grown-ups,

but their table is more bright and fun.

And their napkins are simple cotton NOT SILK.  

And they weren't given wine glasses.

I just realized that I ended up adding a plaid cotton napkin

 scrunched up base for that pedestal candle to "ground" it visually.

Apparently I never took a good pic of after I did that, oops.

But you can kinda see it here:

Here's my whimsical hot beverage serve-yourself station:

Right next to it in the old hutch

my guests could find our Christmas Tree cups & saucers

so helping themselves  was a cinch!

As always, thank you for your visit!
