Out With the Old, In With the New!

I had a wonderful Christmas and hope you did too! I can't believe it's going to be 2013 in a few days!
I'm not sure I am ready for the New Year, but my dinner table is!

I bought this gold tablecloth at Bed, Bath & Beyond and used my gold and silver beaded snowflake runner from Target.
On top of the runner I placed my ornament tree which is decorated with ornaments that symbolize New Year's Eve: Champagne glasses, party hats, an hour glass, etc.



At each place setting I used ivory plates with golden snowflakes bought from Cracker Barrel years ago. I also used ivory napkins with Target Snowflake napkin rings and a little Champagne bucket candle from Bed, Bath & Beyond.



On the mantle, I have gold and silver trees and snowflakes.

Christmas in the Forest

I made some adjustments to last week's table, March of the Wooden Soldiers which you can see by clicking HERE, and now have Christmas in the Forest!


I kept the same red tablecloth but added a green runner with pine cone accents that I got a Big Lots. I put a decorative pitcher that also has pine cone accents and filled it with golden beaded stems.


I flanked the pitcher with silver and gold trees of various types, some that are made of pine cones. I also put a few gold and bronze blown glass pine cone ornaments scattered around the trees like they had fallen. And then I put two votive candle holders that are a bronzy color and have a quilted texture. Why - because they remind me of pine cones, of course!
At each place setting I kept the gold charger and Cuthbertson Chistmas plates and pewter goblets. I added a glass goblet with a silver and gold rim and napkins with a pine cone print and metal pine cone napkin rings.

On the mantle I added more trees.


And there you have it - March of the Wooden Soldiers changes to Christmas in the Forest!
