Easing into Christmas with Holidays by Lenox

Good evening, Ladies!  Hope everyone is well.

My first table for December is featuring the Holiday Pattern by Lenox.  I get mine at the Lenox Outlet, and with a coupon it is quite reasonable for china.

The tablecloth and napkins are also from the Lenox Outlet.

I used a silver charger from Noritake, the Lenox dinner and salad with a green glass bowl.  The flatware is silver and gold.

The centerpiece is a tree in a bucket and I added fresh mums and baby’s breath.

You can see it here, unadorned.  I also added a string of battery operated lights.

You can see the lights in this picture.  I swirled a tartan ribbon at the base to mimic the ribbon in the cloth.

The napkin ring is from Kohl’s, greens, bells and pinecone.

The green glassware is by Gorham from the Lenox Outlet.  Salt and pepper trees are from Wsonoma, as well as the star mirrored coasters.

Candlesticks are by Mikassa.

Here’s how I used it last year in a more casual setting.

In my last post I went back and gathered pictures every Christmas table I had done since 2008 when I started.  If you didn’t see it, take a scroll through if you have time.

For this weeks Seasonal Sundays I am going to do the same with the holiday recipes. 

Next week is the CHALLENGE.  To take part, you must show us your inspiration picture from a magazine or internet, and then show us how you copied it. 

As it is my  5th blogaversary, there will be a gift card giveaway .  Hope you will join in, or at least come take a look.  I can’t wait to see what people picked!

Have you started your Christmas Baking yet?

I haven’t!  I think I will start with some cookies this weekend, time is flying!

If you are linking up tonight, please remember to turn off your word id. You must  link back to this party and put your blog name first.  I hope if you link you will leave a comment too!

Christmas Tables Galore!

I always wanted to put all my Christmas tables in one place! 

So here goes from the beginning, up till 2012, not in order.  Some were simple tables for 2, and you can see when I got a better camera! I can’t believe how blurry they are!

 

 

 

 

I am sure I missed a few, but now I can review them all in one place.  Helps me to remember what accoutrements I have!

Don’t forget the challenge on Dec 11th, find an inspiration Holiday table and show it to us, then your take on it!

I will be celebrating my blogaversary, I started in  Dec. of 2008.

To celebrate there will be a giveaway  for the party on the 11th.

Hope you will join in!
