What a pretty, fun, colorful table, Pam! Your guests will feel so special sitting at your festive table. You've thought of everything, even the Santa chair covers. Merry Christmas! xo
Hi Pam,
What a happy and festive table! I love your pretty Spode and it would match my mugs too. The photo of your fur baby in front of the tree is adorable. Thank you for sharing a delightful tea and joining me for my Christmas Tea this week.
Christmas blessings,

Oh my Pam,
You have such a wonderful collection of Christmas décor. I love the Christmas Spode China and the sweet Santa with his sack full of presents! I could see some pretty teapots in the background on a corner shelf that intrigue me. I wish I could step into your festive home - I would definitely be in the Christmas spirit! Cute puppy seems to be enjoying everything too! Love it all! Thanks for your visit! Karen
Wonderful! So bright and cheerful The old red trim sets are hard to find...didn't know they had released it again. So fun! Merry Christmas and thanks for linking to Tuesday Cuppa Tea!

Thanks for stopping by Poppy View and

PS: Of course I can hear the song!
Your table does sparkle in red and green, very festive!
Oh yes, the Santa sure is a happy fellow.
Hi Pam,
your friend Shelby is the sweetest thing I found in your Christmas decorations. Looks so cute! You have made a beautiful, happy and colorful Christmas tea table. All looks so festive. Thank you for this wonderful tea time. Have a great Christmas time.
Best greetings, Johanna
Your dishes are so pretty! Everything looks so festive and sweet Shelby is adorable!
Blessings,

So festive! Your tablescape is stunning and so so Christmassy :) Holiday hugs and Summer greetings from Australia♥ ~Pernilla
Oh my gosh, Pam ...that dancing Santa is just ADORABLE!! You can't help but smile at him!
I did not know that Spode came with the different colored bands. I only have 4 dessert plates in that pattern & a beautiful cake plate...all with the green bands. Your red ones are lovely & now I want to go see some of the gold.
Thanks for the education on the subject. I learn SO much from blogging!
Merry Christmas!
What a beautiful table and such a cheerful centerpiece! I love the plates, the glasses, flatware and everything on the table. Merry Christmas!...Christine
Hello Pam,
How lively and colourful is your Christmas tablescape! Reds and greens in lovely china and glasses are indeed perfect for Christmas!
The Spode pattern is beautiful!
I wish you a great Christmas Time!
Your table is lovely and so is the collie and suddenly you took me back to my childhood with that sleigh, as my mom had a sleigh with little packages inside and it was one of the kid friendly decorations that we could touch :)

Hi Pam, I use the green rimmed Spode for my everyday dishes from Thanksgiving to Epiphany and love them but I never knew about the other rims!!! Thank you for the info! Now I am on a hunt for some to add. The candy cane tea is so good on a cold snowy day (like today here in CT). My Nellie sends Christmas greetings to your Shelby! Linda
I love that dancing Santa! Your table is beautiful and that tea looks delicious too. Very pretty!
Hi Pam: Everything looks so perfect. Beautiful table, especially with that Spode. I would love to have a complete dinner set of it. I caught a peek of your Royal Doulton ladies in the china cabinet. Wish I could take a closer look. They are one of my favorites. Blessing to you and yours, Martha
Your tablescape is amazing, love the tree and Santa in his sleigh and your dishes are to die for. Gorgeous. You fireplace is fabulous too. Beautiful decor. Thanks tons for linking to Inspire Me. Hugs, Marty
What a festive post! I love your Christmas table setting. Everything looks just right together. I love that Spode china!
Merry Christmas to you too : )

Oh what fun from the dancing Santa to the chair covers. Wherever did you find those?
Love your gorgeous Christmas table and especially your Spode china, red rimmed! Shelby is gorgeous too. Merry Christmas!
I thought the table was incredible until I saw your fireplace with Shelbie and Santa. As everyone knows, I love Santa - all kinds of Santas - but I love dogs more. What a beautiful dog! (Needless to say, the Waterford goblets were gorgeous too....)
Hope you and your family have a great Christmas.
This is so pretty with all the traditional colors and decorations. You have such nice collections, I enjoyed seeing them. Loved seeing Shelby too!
Merry Christmas!
Katherine
This is just wonderful! I love what you did with this table. It is so festive and fun! And you are right, Santa just sparkles!
Love your collie. Both my husband and I had collies when we were growing up, and they are fabulous dogs. I love Shelby!
Merry Christmas to you, too!

If that Santa starts twerking a la Miley Cyrus, I am DONE!!! :-) :-) :-)
I love your chair covers!!! MUCH cooler than the ones at Dollar Tree!
The Spode is gorgeous. You just can't beat the classics!!! Have a wonderful, joyful and peaceful Christmas!!!
Your Santa and the reindeer are adorable. The Spode plates and beautiful table linens make a lovely tablescape. Shelby is pretty lovely too! But best of all is your beautiful china cabinet. I love pretty china cabinets and yours is one of the prettiest ever. Have a wonderful Christmas holiday!

Thanks for visiting me. At first I thought it was someone from the Tea in Texas magazine. Do you know it? It is a very nice magazine and the editor is so nice.
I love your Spode dishes and Candy Cane Lane Tea is one of my favorites at Christmas. Very lovely tablescape.
Great Christmas table! Santa is so much fun and I really like your Spode with the red trim. Shelby is so pretty and reminds me of our old collie. Hope you and your family have a great Christmas.
So love that dancing Santa! I am known in my family as the "twirly girl", because I dance the whole time that I am working in the kitchen. Your Santa is definitely a happy one. I have a serious obsession with Spode Christmas Tree, but I do not own any with the red trim - love yours! Merry, merry Christmas to you and your family!
What a happy festive post, I enjoyed it thoroughly.....those red goblets are so pretty!!! And your collie is adorable. Thank you for stopping by "The East Coast Desi". Wishing you and your family a wonderful Christmas!!!
Love,
Sruthi.
I can see how that Santa just danced his way into your heart. He is such a jolly elf and I love his uplifted leg, and his arms thrown into the air. The sleigh is a treasure too. what fun you had with this table and the traditional plates are always so popular and beautiful!
Really love that Santa! It is all very wonderful, festive and Christmasy!
Visiting from Tablescape Thursday.
Pam, what a gorgeous table...it is so festive. Cute centerpiece...is Santa doing a happy dance because he is loading up the sleigh or because he is unloading! Love those goblets.
Merry Christmas!
Such a happy table you have put together here -- the Dancing Santa stole my heart, well so did Shelby in front of the mantle waiting for Santa to come...Joni
Hi Pam! Thank you for the visit and sweet comment! I LOVE your table, with all the glitter and sparkle. The bag of reindeer treats made me smile, so sweet. Oh and your dog is so cute :)
Merry Christmas
So So cute! You have the MERRIEST Santa I have ever seen!
Jenna
Beautiful...this is one of my favorite patterns, and I love it with the red rim. Gorgeous!
Hi Pam
You really have a very cheerful Christmas tablescape. I liked the Santa Claus as a center piece, all the details and the colors are perfect for this season.
