Welcome to the 17th Tablescape Tuesday!

The table is set for a Christmas feast...









China is Winter Greetings by Lenox. The pattern features classically rendered holly branches, mistletoe, chickadees, cardinals, berries, and ribbons. It was designed by artist Catherine McClung who is beloved by collectors for her accurate and vibrant bird portraiture.




When I came across this Lenox pattern on an historic home tour in Madison, Georgia...I knew I had found my Christmas china. Actually, you could easily use it throughout the winter season. Can you see the three birds on this plate...a cardinal, nuthatch and chickadee? I love how the little chickadee has the end of the ribbon in his beak!




Jingle bells encircle the napkins...










Place card holders with a Christmasy feel...






This Colonial Williamsburg style centerpiece was created using apples and holly, surrounded at the base with magnolia leaves and nandina berries. I'll show you how it's made in a future posting.




Crimson hock glasses...pattern is Lismore by Waterford




Tea glass is Araglin by Waterford...









Cranberry salt cellars...
















Christmas dinner by candlelight...






The following blogs have beautiful tablescapes awaiting your visit.  Tablescapes no longer visible since they were linked with Mr. Linky and apparently, they expire after a while.  So sorry.
