Forever Plaid...

Christmas is here!! What a wonderful time of year. Thanks so much to Susan at BNOTP
for hosting this great event. I'm looking forward to seeing all of your beautiful tables.
Today I'm starting with a great plaid table cloth. These colors really start off the season for me.

My centerpiece came from Restoration Hardware. I think that I have put this piece just about everywhere in my house, on the mantle, on the piano, on top of the china hutch. It stll looks good and with the candles it's not too tall for a table.

My plates are from "Elkridge Gifts and Framing". They are called "Crimson Cardinal" by burton + BURTON. I love the cardinal in the middle. They are really bright and festive. I've layered them with red chargers from Hobby Lobby.

I made my napkins from fabric I had around the house. The sparkly napkin rings came from Pier One. I chose them because of the gold threads running through the table cloth.

Did you see the little cardinal peeking out of the centerpiece? They're too shy to be out on their own, so I tucked them in the centerpiece!

I hope you all had a Happy Thanksgiving. I sure did. It full of food, fun, alughter and love. Go find the button on the right to get back to Susan's!

  9. The cardinal dishes are beautiful! I like their shape as well as the design. Glad you've been able to get a lot of 'round the house use from your centerpiece...really helps stretch the $$$ and kind of changes the look of it depending on where it is!
