Traditional Christmas Tablescape



 


Were you able to visit with friends and family this Christmas season?  One of my sons and his wife drove to Utah from California, and one of my brothers and his wife were able to join us for Christmas Eve dinner. Although it was a small group I pulled out all the stops in my table decor. 

We use my Spode Christmas Tree plates every December. My mother-in-law's tradition was to use her Spode every day the whole month of December, so I started doing the same thing. I have had these plates for over 40 years and they still look like new!

                                       

Several years ago I made a tartan tablecloth and then I  layered it under a quilted runner I also made over 20 years ago.

                                     





I've got a set of bright red chargers that are perfect for several holidays.


Here is a vintage spooner showing off some of my Danish Christmas spoons.





And running down the center of the table are a few of my Duncan Royale and Jim Shore Santas.


In spite of the continued challenges this season I hope you were able to celebrate and feel the Christmas spirit!

Happy New Year!
