If you know me well, you know I love this time of year. It's just magical to me and sharing it with my little boys makes it that much more special. I love snowmen and I think I passed this love onto at least one of my boys who screams out snowman in every store and at every glance of the man in white. I won't bombard you with my collection just yet...
I've collected Christmas salad plates for several years. I mostly have 4 of each, so I paired a couple sets with my red glass plates and Italian Countryside dinner plates. 
I've bought nothing new this year. I love the hunt for 75-90% off after Christmas clearance. Last year I found this tablecloth and the napkins at that cost as in $2.99 and 29 cents for sets of 2 napkins. I picked up some green ones too.

My mom had this greenery centerpiece in her stash and gave it to me a couple years ago. I added the mosaic hurricanes my husband bought me from World Market a few years ago.
The berry plates are from Target Christmas clearance 2007. I love when the back of the plates are labeled. I bought these the year Adrian was born! The cream and sugar matches and I think I paid about 29 cents for each of them after searching a couple Targets.
These napkin rings are from Pier One years ago.
My hutch is decked out for Christmas in the background!
These swirled paisley plates are from Cracker Barrel last year. My friend Lisa, who gave me the Romanian tablecloth works there and every year they have a friends and family night...45% off sale prices. The plates were 25% off plus her discount! I also bought over sized mugs in this pattern.
I've used all this glassware before...
Libby Gibralter water goblets are from my HEB
Red bubble stems were a Secret Santa gift from a teacher I worked with 6 years ago
Red swirled goblets are from Pier One years ago...still sad I broke one:(
Brown bubble stems are from Target years ago.
The silverware is everyday stainless Wallace Antique Bead
Next week I'll show you my Advent Trees. It's a great way to share the real meaning of this season with your children. A couple moms from my church came up with some great ideas and passed them along.
I pray this season is filled with hope and happiness and the blessing of Christ's birth in your families!
Gorgeous table, Meredith! It is the season for lots of red...the linens are beautiful. I also like the photos of the candlelit table, warm and inviting.
ReplyDeleteMi-au placut foarte mult pozele si aranjamentele. Te admir pentru ca ti-ai pastrat aceeasi rabdare si dorinta de a primi musafiri la cina. Ca de obicei, ai aranjat totul perfect.
ReplyDeleteMeredith,

Stunning table with just beautiful colors!! And what a bargain you linens are!
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty table. I loved the red dinner plate peeking out from behind the cute salads. Really beautiful in the candlelit picture!
ReplyDeleteMeredith, your red and gold table is beautiful! The season is definitely a magical one, and especially when you have little ones around. Cracker Barrel is one of my favorite stop-ins during the holidays. I've found some fantastic 40-60% off ornaments there in the past, but yesterday when I was there, it was waaaay too much glitter everywhere I looked! I wasn't tempted at all. :-)
ReplyDeleteVery nice, Meredith! Christmas is definitely in full swing at your house!!! Have a restful weekend!
ReplyDeleteOh your table is so pretty and festive! I love your salad plates and the scattering of snowmen. Looks like a delightful Christmas gathering around your table. Thanks for your sweet visit.
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful tablescape...I adore the accent plates, especially the one with the holly and berries. Thank you for inviting us for a peak at your gorgeous design. Cherry Kay
