Merry Christmas

While it seems that time is going

faster, Christmas always come slowly.

Santa, elves, trees, all sorts of Christmas décor find themselves on our table. 

With Santa standing tall, in the center of the table.

China pattern is Villeroy and Boch's

"Christmas Trees".

New to us the Christmas china came via Santa's helper, FedEx trucks and Macys. Plates come in red, green, or white rimmed with different toys on each. Oh what fun we had mixing colors all the way.

Argent green flatware surround the china.

Crystal is Le Stelle.

Cups are trimmed in toys.

Cute candy cane salt and pepper shakers.

But we must remember the real reason for Christmas Celebrations!

Turkey Time

As we have moved into our new house, it was a joy to set the table for Thanksgiving.

 Our turkey teapot set is ready for a service of turkey and pumpkin pie.

 The lighted candles are embossed with fall leaves waiting to glow at the feast.

The turkey plumage is in gold, blue, and brown. Produced by 222 Fifth has tree branches circling the rim. 

The colors of the plate are matched to the napkin, the placemat, and the tableware.

The gold rimmed glassware show the leaves of wheat, which  is the symbol for the plenty of the autumn harvest.

 We will enjoy dining at this festive place setting with family.

 The hutch serves as a backdrop with its pumpkin signs and the two Anna Lee scarecrow mice hoping for a crumb to fall from the table. 

Happy Thanksgiving from our family to yours.
