A Simple Christmas Table Setting

Hello Everyone!

I hope you are all having a great week!

I am sorry I wasn't able to post on Sunday night.

I first wanted to thank Shannon, a writer for HGTV.COM for featuring my bedroom on their site.

On another note.....

I wanted to share a few pictures of our Christmas table setting.

I actually had planned to do something else, but it didn't work.

I first tried to put magnolia branches down the center of the table.

Well it looked awful....

Since that didn't work, I basically just used what I had around the house....

I lined up five french canning jars down the middle of the table.

I added pomegranates to the top of two of the jars... 

I haven't ever been a fan of baby's breath until I started reading Dusty Lu's Blog....

This is a very sparse bouquet... but it was all I had.

I only had a little bit of baby's breath and two different types of hydrangea blooms.

I tied twine around the napkins and added a sprig of boxwood and a paper white bloom.

I did this a couple of years ago for our Christmas Dinner.

I got out my favorite antique red and white dishes from France.

I used my  red striped grain sack runner, that my mom made.

I recently found two french canning jars with the porcelain tops.

I love them.

As you can see I didn't do a lot to the table....

We have been fortunate enough to be able to spend some time with our families this week.

I hope you are all enjoying your week!

Take Care,
