Happy December, My Lovelies! Are you having a nice Advent Season so far? We started December in New Orleans, and it was so much fun visiting friends. I feel very organized this year, and I'm planning to have more quiet time for devotion and Advent studies.
Today I'm joining fourteen other stylists for a Christmas Tabelscape Blog Hop Party hosted by Sweet Rita from the Panoply Blog.
Thank-you so much, Rita, for hosting these tablescape blog hops.
They're always so much fun!
If you're hopping in order, you just visited Patti's blog, Pandora's Box. I want to thank you for linking over to my little corner of the internet. I have been looking forward to this for weeks!
The theme for this tablescape in our dining room is "evergreen." I was inspired by my new napkins from GreenRow. I was smitten when I saw them on their site, and I ordered a set of them. GreenRow is a brand whose parent company is Williams-Sonoma.
The cheerful napkins feature different types of evergreen trees on a jaunty background of contemporary chartreuse polka dots.
The plate stacks feature modern plates from Crate and Barrel. I've had them for many years.
I decided on a living "evergreen" centerpiece planted in a vintage Annie Glass boat from San Francisco.
I chose a selection of ferns and white cyclamen. I like the frosty fern because it looks wintry.
The fun evergreen wreath napkin rings are new, and they're from Hobby Lobby.
I also decorated the Welsh Dresser with candles, a flocked tree, and felt garland.
If you're looking for a fun Christmas read, may I recommend:
