I used a silver faux wreath as the base for the centerpiece, then a silver star shaped bowl filled with white mums, greens, silver pine cones and baby's breath, topped with a silver bow.
Sterling silver candle sticks with white swirly candles flank the centerpiece. Sterling silver salt and peppers that were my mom's.
Stems trimmed in silver, my wedding crystal.
Silver chargers, Mikasa?, white on white china with a silver trim.
Star mirrors, PBarn outlet.
White cloth with matching napkins. Silver rings with a sprig of greens, baby's breath and a silver glittery pick.
The little star has the initial and serves as a place marker.
Cut glass bowls were my mom's.
Silver and glass angels hang from the greenery in the chandy.
The white covered casseroles are from CTS. They come in 3 sizes.
Thank all of you have taken part, and if you visited, that's good too! I know this is a very busy time of year!
One of my friends from the Holidays forum has started a blog. I hope you will stop in and visit Denise at
So Many Tables. She is a very creative and has a great sense of humor!
This post went up early on auto post, so you have plenty of time to join in!
Thank you for visiting, and I hope our Christmas isn't too white!
So lovely! Those little hanging angels are precious. :-)

I just love it Kathleen! It's like the most perfect Christmas table. The soft whites, the greenery, the silver, it's like having dinner in a winter wonderland!
ReplyDeleteI though your party started tomorrow night. i am still going to try to join!
Cindy
This a simply beautiful to me. I love that centerpiece.
ReplyDeleteYou make the most beautiful centerpieces Kathleen! The tablescape combination of white, green and silver is gorgeous. White poinsettias are my favorite, although I bought a couple of red ones for our dinner party this year. Congratulations on two years of blogging!
ReplyDeleteYou know me and how I love white! Your photos are beautiful! Pretty enough to be my computer backgroung :)
ReplyDeleteKathleen, thank you for hosting the party! I look forward to seeing everyone's entries. Your table is lovely -- fabulous centerpiece, and those little angels are just darling!
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful, Kathleen!
ReplyDeleteKathleen,
ReplyDeleteLovely! Everything is just perfect.

Congratulations on 2 years of blogging!
ReplyDeleteI love your tablescape, the centerpiece is gorgeous and the setting is so well thought out all the way down to the tiny star place marker.
Your photos make the silver gleam - I chose silver & white too but haven't gotten my post ready yet. Hopefully by tonight.
Congrats on two fun filled years of blogging! Looking forward to many more! It has been an adventure at times, and I don't mean the mad rush for a sale at the CTS :) I think you outdid yourself with this table, it's so elegant and stunning. I love the Angels!
ReplyDeleteAlways a great party with you, Kathleen!
Beautiful white K.. And yes may all your Christmases be merry and bright~
ReplyDeleteYour beautiful white table is so elegant and festive, Kathleen. Your wonderful photos show it off so nicely.
ReplyDeleteI am delighted to be participating in your White party today. Your table is just exquisite. I am heading out shopping today and will be looking for stars. Love yours!
ReplyDeleteKathleen, your photos are terrific. I find it so hard to photograph whites.
ReplyDeleteLove those little angels hanging from the chandi.
Thank you so much for "featuring" my new blog. I am pleased and honored that you would mention me to all your loyal followers. This Blog Business is pretty time consuming. I have a new found respect for all those who have been doing this for some time now. - Which reminds me, "Happy Anniversary."
Beautiful white and silver table, Kathleen! Your centerpiece is gorgeous and the star-shaped cut glass bowls from your mother are beautiful. Adorable angels too!
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting the party, Kathleen, and great giveaway!
I fogot to say congratulations on your two year blogging anniversary!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on two years!
ReplyDeleteYour white table is beautiful, Kathleen.
I was running around working on the kitchen this morning when I remembered I had not put a white table together. Thought a minute and voila! Tea with Santa!
Thanks so much for hosting this event.
Kathleen, your table is spectacular! I wish I had your talent. Happy 2 year anniversary, I just linked up to be a follower (why didn't I think to do that before?) I hope you have a wonderful, wonderful Christmas!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your 2 year anniversary. I wasn't able to pull together a white Christmas to join in but I'm enjoying seeing yours and others!
ReplyDeleteYour white tablescape is so elegant, Kathleen! I was hoping I'd see snow in Denver while I was there, so I could post some photos and join in today but it was unusually warm there -- in the high 60's during the day!
ReplyDeleteWe arrived home on the red eye flight yesterday morning and now I ahve a million holiday things to catch up on ... and I already miss my grandson so much! It's hard to live far away from the litle guy.
PS Congrats on two years of blogging! You know I am a follower on your blog from the day I found it. I love your creativity and your sense of humor and all your wonderful food creations! I also wish I lived closer to you! :)
ReplyDeleteHi Kathleen,
ReplyDeleteYour table is gorgeous!!! I adore all of your white! White makes everything looks elegant and so special.
I hope you don't mind that I have a little bit of color in my post, the base color is white, though. If you tell me there is too much color I will remove it, no hard feelings, I promise.
Hugs, Cindy
Kathleen, Your table is simply exquisite. It's elegant and beautiful. Love your china and chargers and your centerpiece too. Thanks for hosting! I am a follower and would like to enter your giveaway too, Kathleen.
ReplyDeleteBlessings, Beth
Kathleen, I forget to say in my prior comment that I am a participant in your party and that my post links back to your Winter White party. thanks again for hosting. I had a lot of fun putting together my table, and now for the fun of viewing everyone else's!
ReplyDeleteHugs, Beth
Such a beautiful table. I can't believe you made that centerpiece! You are amazing. Your table actually gave me a shiver, it's so silver and glistening.

Oh how gorgeous! I wanted to play along, but it just didn't happen. The grandsons got snowed in at our house, so from Saturday morning until Monday evening...I didn't do anything that wasn't related to a 2 and almost 4! Your table is stunning...I love whites, the most elegant of all.
ReplyDeleteSilver and white- a combination so elegant and beautiful! Love all the sterling that you have. And that stemware- oh Kathleen, it is calling to me! Everything glitters and shines like a twinkling star in the night. I should have sprayed some pinecones along with my magnolia leaves! Love it all, my friend!! ♥ Sue
ReplyDeleteBeautiful...any dinner guest would feel so fortunate to be seated at your table. Love your mothers salt and pepper shakers.

ReplyDeleteBy looking at all your Mom's beautiful treasures, its confirmed my suspicions...ITS GENETIC!!! LOL You've inherited the tablescaping gene!! LOL
ReplyDeleteAs I s-l-o-w-l-y scanned down each photo, I kept thinking "ice & snow, ice & snow" as that is what this reminds me of. It is just GORGEOUS! Love the china & stemware & your centerpiece is AWESOME, too. I must remember to get fresh flowers to tuck into mine.
Thanks for hosting this party. I've been looking forward to it all week. I may link up my SNOW pictures too, because they surely qualify as "White Christmas"!
Just found your blog from Applestone Cottage, such beautiful tablescapes!!! I'd love to learn how to set one but I'll have to start looking for glassware, chargers and silverware...I just don't have enough to start:) Thanks for all the beautiful entries I'm enjoying then all!

ReplyDeleteHi Kathleen, Your centerpiece is beautiful, as is the entire white table. The swirly candles look so elegant. How can you stand to burn them? I am in love with white poinsettias this year, for the first time ever! I must be influenced by all the white on the blogs! I joined up with your party even though it is a little late. Now I'll be off to see all the others. Thank you for hosting this fun event! Linda
ReplyDeleteKathleen, what a stunning table!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous, from candles to silver.
