For this year’s holiday season, I’m sharing a winter woodland tablescape featuring a rustic deer centerpiece.
Three years ago, the first Christmas table I ever styled and shared on Debbee’s Buzz had a similar theme. But, I was brand new to blogging, and a novice at using the software and photo editing tools.
As part of this month’s Christmas Tablescape Hop, I’ve updated and restyled the rustic look. A standing deer on a toboggan centerpiece sets the scene for the winter woodland tablescape.
To create the casual holiday table, I’ve mixed everyday dishes with seasonal plates, flatware and linens. By swapping and rotating tableware in and out of the dishwasher, I’m able to reuse the same basic table setting for multiple meals.
It’s an easy, practical way to continually set a festive table throughout the month of December.

Styling a Season-Long Centerpiece
Eighteen talented bloggers juggled celebrating Thanksgiving and getting a Christmas table set and photographed by December first. For those coming from Rachelle’s French-styled table at My Hubbard Home, welcome!
Setting the scene for my winter woodland tablescape is a rustic, seasonal centerpiece.  Providing the base is a miniature, wine red toboggan. You can also see it incorporated into the adorable Moose Toboggan Ride Winter Fun Table.
Both the toboggan and deer have also appeared on The Apres-Ski Lodge Buffet. They are part of the cabin and Ski Lodge Theme Decor in our basement level game room.
When creating seasonal or theme centerpieces, I often incorporate items from my own home and holiday decor. This year, it also meant I didn’t need to purchase anything new. Have you ever incorporated a favorite holiday decoration into a centerpiece?
Weaved all around the toboggan and between the legs of the deer is a set of sleigh bells.
It, along with bottle brush trees and other decorative elements, came from Old Allegheny Shoppe. Normally, visiting and Previewing Favorite Christmas Shop Kicks Off the Season.
Boy, do I ever miss browsing and visiting stores for holiday atmosphere, finds and inspiration! Online shopping just isn’t the same — even when finding deals.
Scattered throughout the centerpiece are a variety of pinecones, in different sizes and shapes. Some have white, snowy tips.
Adding Sparkle & Snow
Adding a little bit of twinkle to the winter woodland tablescape is a string of battery-powered, mini white lights.
Lighting the way through the woods is a tree stump votive candle. I found it in a little boutique shop, while on a ski trip in the Rockies.
It’s hard to believe that late last February we were on a Terrific Telluride, Colorado Ski Vacation. And, the year before in Breathtaking Breckenridge. Now, I’m getting around on crutches and a knee scooter!
Reminiscent of the real thing, birch trees and snow are tucked into and around the wintery scene. They were borrowed from Department 56 North Pole Village accessories.
Because of my mobility limitations, I am not setting up the Christmas display this year. So, it’s nice to have pictures from A Tour of the Magical North Pole to revisit.
Setting a Festive Table
Underlying the winter woodland tablescape is a holiday plaid cloth in white, burgundy red and forest green.
Round woodcut chargers at each place setting, also slightly elevate the centerpiece in the middle of the table.
Both the tablecloth and chargers were also the base for a Casual Christmas Table. However, it was set with Pfaltzgraff Nordic Christmas plates.
To vary the festive look, I have the option of simply swapping dishes, glasses and flatware throughout the holiday season.
I can also temporarily move the centerpiece to the buffet to change linens. A forest green tablecloth was the backdrop for the first Woodland Tablescape for Holiday Meals. Red handle flatware and plaid napkins — along with ornament favors — decorated that festive table.
Layered on top of the woodcut charger is an Ireland Pursuit dinner plate by Keltcraft Noritake.
A forest green border makes my everyday dishes perfect for a holiday setting.
They also pull out the green from the plaid tablecloth. And, the small creatures decorating the edges are ideal for a woodland theme.  Regular readers will recognize my Ireland Pursuit dishes from a Casual St. Patrick’s Day Table.
Finally, topping the stack is a plate from the Better Homes and Gardens’ Heritage Collection. Each depicts the same snowy scene; a horse drawn sleigh carrying the family farm’s Christmas tree.
Do you have any special or favorite dishes you use to set a Christmas table?
Woodland Theme Flatware & Glasses
Flanking each winter woodland plate stack is copper-color, twig flatware.
Presently set for a holiday brunch, I’ve also included an Ireland Pursuit coffee cup and saucer to the right of each place setting. Cranberry or orange juice will be served in these adorable glasses (Pottery Barn).
Whether transported by sleigh or wooden-sided station wagon, the tree is assured to arrive home in time to decorate for Christmas.
Christmas Tree Napkin Fold
Evergreen trees also decorate the winter woodland tablescape as cleverly folded napkins.
It’s one of over 12 Napkin Folds for All Seasons, Holidays & Occasions that I’ve incorporated into table settings — so far.
Last January, the easy napkin fold made it’s first appearance on the Downhill Dinner at Ski Cabin Winter Table.
I liked the tree-shape napkin fold so much, I couldn’t wait to incorporate it into a Christmas table setting. To see the napkin fold laying flat on a plate, check out, Bringing Home the Christmas Tree Holiday Table.
Happily, our live tree is already up and decorated in the family room — which can be seen from the kitchen table. And, it really has enhanced my holiday mood and view, as I continue to spend long hours on the couch with my leg propped up.

Bringing in Reinforcements
Still healing from foot surgery, I continue to be non-weight bearing. And, with all the added responsibilities hubby has taken on — including making the Thanksgiving feast — I thought I’d have to bow out of the Christmas Tablescape Hop.
Setting the table was made possible with the help of V, my eldest son’s darling girl.
They were with us from NYC, after a large, 100-year old iron pipe burst on the roof!
Yeah, 2020 right?
The pipe was connected to the building’s water tower. Resulting damage to the ceiling and roof above the penthouse apartment necessitated repairs; making it inhabitable during construction.
So, they took COVID-19 tests, rented a car and decamped here in Pittsburgh.
Read about the wonderful pho meal V prepared for us in, Cultural Cooking Adventure: Vietnamese Dishes. It was a delicious treat the night before Thanksgiving to not worry about preparing another meal.
Without V’s and my husband’s help, I would have been unable to reach and transport fragile tableware from cabinets and storage. They also gathered holiday decor elements for the centerpiece from three floors and boxes in the attic.
So, much thanks to my own personal elves, lol!

Debbee, Your table is adorable and cheery! I love the reindeer centerpiece and all the woodland touches. I have some Heritage salad plates and always look forward to seeing the new pieces introduced each year. I’m with you about missing shopping in person. Online shopping serves it purposes but lacks in atmosphere and inspiration. If ever there was a year to be on crutches and home recovering from surgery it certainly is 2020. So sorry to hear about your family’s burst pipe but what a wonderful silver lining to have them be able to visit (and help!) while you’re convalescing. It’s always a pleasure to hop with you, Happy December. ♥
Thank you Mary. Because it snowed overnight and all day, there’s a lovely view outside from the table. While hubby was volunteering at Habitat, I turned on the live tree and Christmas music as I perused the festive tables, participated in Giving Tuesday, and did some online shopping. It was a merry day!
On Friday I begin PT! You are so right about the timing. Since it was inevitable I’d have to surgery sometime, and wanting to maintain mobility, pain free, I opted to do it. Once I knew there wasn’t going to be a Scottie puppy this year, there was no reason to wait. Hubby and I were relieved my son’s building finally began to address what we feared was a serious structural/safety issue. In the end, we had a great time playing new board games, wine/beer tasting, decorating, and cooking.
Debbee, your tree napkin fold is adorable!! The BHG plates have a wonderful scene – we just got a beautiful fresh blanket of snow here – so it is remindful of the scene on your plates. The glassware with the woody station wagon is fun!! I hope you mend nicely – and I bet it was nice to see your son’s family despite the circumstances. It is always fun to hop with you. I wish you a very peaceful Christmas season!!
We awoke to a beautiful blanket of snow and flurries this morning too! Really gave me a big dose of holiday cheer Ann. So, I put the lights on the live tree and Christmas music as I visited all the festive tablescapes. Even heard “these are a few of my favorite things…” It was awfully nice having my eldest son here, and a relief his building was finally getting around to making initial safety and cosmetic repairs. Of course, we missed our youngest and his puppy. Thank goodness for Zoom and FaceTime! I even got to virtually participate in the tree selection and cutting.
Debbee, so glad you had elves to help you. They sound like something like I need. I’ve had a foot injury (plantar fasciitis) and don’t need crutches but have to limit my time putting weight on my foot.
Your woodland theme is so creative. I think your trademark is creative napkin folds. Very cute. You have a great knack for using your dishes for many themes and they look so different.
I am with you about not being able to shop in person. I almost cried I was so happy to go to a lovely shop recently. It really was like a dose of needed medicine for me. Praying better times are ahead. I said in my post that I was very glad to be able to escape the world’s woes seeing each others tablescapes and it really helps. Thanks for your inspiration today.
It was fun having merry elves around! My son’s girlfriend was excited to learn the easy napkin fold to surprise her family. Not sure why more don’t try napkin folding? It’s such an easy and inexpensive way to style a table.
Sorry to hear about your PF Bonnie, I know how very painful it can be. I got PF(in the foot I just had surgery on) after buying and breaking in Sketchers to walk around Spain. The doc gave me 10 exercises to do on my own and a boot to wear at night. Took a few weeks until I could walk comfortably again. I have limited mobility and awkwardness from the surgery but no real pain. On Friday I begin PT and gradual weight bearing. I hope you are feeling better soon! Too bad we can’t keep each other company while we recover. I also enjoyed the big dose of holiday cheer visiting yours and everyone’s tables.
This is a great illustration of how using our dishware collections can be interchanged, Debbee. I typically try to keep that in mind, and my new mantra since the downsize is accomplishing that with salad plates. Your tablescape is overall darling! With a classic base in the Ireland Pursuit pattern, you did a nice job with the casual plates stacked. All the woodland elements used pull it all together – again, demonstrating how you can pick and pluck from collections and make a new look. I’ve used that Christmas tree fold before, but it somehow looks even better with how you’ve stood it up, and even the fabric of the napkin elevates its look.
It sounds as though you’re recovering well, and have the holidays well under control. Like you, I’ve missed seeing the inspiration in person this year, but this tablescaping event has definitely sparked more creativity for me. Happy December, enjoy.
Rita, it was great fun styling and setting a table with V — a girl lol! I let her make choices between tablecloths, flatware, etc. and taught her how to do the fold. I like how it looks flat on a plate, but didn’t want to cover up the Christmas scene. Also like how easily the napkin unfolds and opens to place on your lap.
Looking forward to Friday when I start PT and putting weight on the boot. Curious how long it will be before I can walk on it? Highly motivated to do my exercises and get off the couch Rita! Counting on the boys being home for Christmas, but concerned as we all are about the impact of the pandemic on the holidays. Taking it day by day.
Debbee, I see great minds think alike! I love how you have styled your BHG farm plates. That reindeer is absolutely precious, and you have created such a pretty centerpiece with him. I’m swooning over that hunting scene china. I hope that you have a most joyous Christmas season!
Well Shannon, we obviously both have great taste lol! I really enjoyed seeing the different stylings using the same plate. So many great ideas and inspiration — and a great dose of holiday cheer — touring all the festive tablescapes. I’m always surprised by the reaction to my Ireland Pursuit plates. Because they are my everyday dishes (for 25 years!), I take them a little for granted.
Oh, Debee, how I miss holiday shopping! Visiting stores this time of year is such a fun and festive way to enjoy the season. Well, maybe next year, right:)
The way you mix and match the different table plates is perfect. It teaches us how to expand tablescapes using what you have.
Everything looks so cute and cozy and I’m clicking over to find out how to make the tree napkins – so, so cute.
Rachelle, I miss all shopping period, even for groceries! But, Christmas shopping online for stocking stuffers and clothing is so hard. I miss the atmosphere, the hunt/find, and weighing options.
After accumulating tableware over decades, there’s simply no more room in the inn to store more! So mixing and matching what I have, and incorporating napkin folds, allows creative styling of table settings.
Debbee, I have Ireland Pursuit envy, it is stunning. The BH& G is a nice addition to your stack, I always look forward to their new pieces each year. The reindeer is so fun and festive as your centerpiece. There are so many wonderful woodland details that you have added. Having elves helping you was fabulous. Take care of yourself and don’t overdo. Wishing you a joyous Christmas Season.
Pam, I am so glad I splurged on the IP dishes decades ago, as it has held up extremely well to about 25 years of everyday use. I am in need of replacing a few pieces that got chipped etc. and was shocked at the prices! So, I’ve decided to ask for them from Santa this year — who is looking for ideas. I haven’t been able to visit a Walmart, so I’m not sure if they’ve introduced any new BH&G pieces? Couldn’t find any online either. I’m thinking of giving a set for Christmas as a gift. Wonderful hoping with you and thank you for all the good wishes.
What a beautiful and fun table, Debbee! I love all the plaid and all your gorgeous plates! You always put together such creative themes for your tables. It’s so obvious you really love the process. Wishing you a happy and healthy holiday season!
Shelley
Thanks so much Shelley. Oh, I do so enjoy the creative process and working with a theme! So delighted to have elves help make it happen, lol. By Christmas, I should even be able to bake cookies and make the meals too.
Debbee, your Woodland inspired table is lovely. I adore the plates. The Christmas tree napkin fold is fabulous. The reindeer is so cute. The hunting scene dishes are wonderful. Your tables are always full of creativity and so festive. Hope you are healing. May you be blessed with Christmas blessings.
Thank you for all you generous comments and good wishes Linda. I am right on schedule with healing. On Friday I start PT, and the process of gradually using a walking boot to get around. I. Cannot. Wait! Scaling way back on decorating to a large degree. But the elves did all the outdoor stuff, cut down a live tree and got it decorated while I unwrapped treasured ornaments. Feels festive here, especially with me playing holiday music and having a blanket of snow covering the ground.
Debbee, your sweet Christmas Woodland tablescape made me feel like I was peering into a childhood snow globe with the wood deer and blankets of snow and pinecones and snow covered trees. Of course, the red plaid tablecloth and the BHG plates made me feel like I was right at home in the country. I love all of the details to your table and the use of different textures. I hope you will be feeling better each day. Stay warm and wishing you and your family good health and God’s blessings. Merry Christmas!
Marsha, your comment about the snow globe made my day! It’s what I hoped the table and centerpiece would evoke. Other than being at times bored, frustrated and uncomfortable, I am mostly pain free and healing well. Lucky to have dear husband caring for me and the household. On Friday I begin PT and getting my mobility back. Thank you for all your kind words and good wishes.
Always look forward to seeing the creative way you put decorative items, dishes and fabrics together to produce a beautiful setting. One of my favourite things is to create beautiful settings for the table but it can be a bit of a problem because the simplest thing can bring about an idea for a tablescape to mind! I miss the in-store browsing so much. In person you can touch and pick up items or possibly see something that was not on the original shopping list but that says “please take me home” for inspiration. 2020 has been a challenging year in many respects but adding surgery and burst pipes into the fray seems to continue the challenges…hope all is well with the apartment in NYC and that you continue to improve with each passing day. May the Christmas season bring peace and contentment to you and yours!
Alayne, you are fortunate to be so creatively inspired by “the simplest thing.” My main problem is I need a theme to rally around and can be frustrated with a brick wall by trying to implement it across the tableware, linens, etc. Especially because I have no more storage space to add new dishes and glasses. But, you and I are totally on the same page about shopping. I too miss those got-to-have, never-knew-I-needed-it finds lol! My son’s situation is a challenging one, as his penthouse, (with fireplace, huge wrap around terrace, in an art deco building) is small but fabulous — with a corresponding high rental cost. The building, owners (there’s a second penthouse unit), and city are warring over what needs done for safety vs. removing and replacing the cement roof and support system ($$$$$$). Don’t see how he’ll be able to continue to live there once they bring in a 13 story crane to do that. He keeps telling us “no worries”, but I worry of course!
Thank you for sharing this lovely table. It really brightened my day. I am 3 weeks into 6 week recovery from foot surgery too! My adult kids cooked their first Thanksgiving meal for us and it was delicious. I enjoyed getting to be sidelined and pampered. Following my fav blogs have been a lifesaver.
Rhonda, I hope you are healing well, comfortable and pain free. Will you need PT? After 8 weeks, mine starts on Friday. Too bad we can’t sit together on my couch and keep each other company! It was nice having a bit of pampering, and the family did their best to include me. They even used FaceTime to include me in the choice and process of selecting and cutting down a live tree. It was the first time in many years that our adult sons were here to select and decorate the tree.
Debbee you never cease to amaze me with all your talent in napkin folding. You are so clever girl and I love your dishes. Being of Irish descent, I am always intrigued with Irish anything. And you use them for everyday use. Your woodland table is lovely and I love your little unexpected touches. A perfect intimate table that with a few changes becomes something entirely different. It is always a pleasure to blog hop with you. hugs
Honestly Kari, it doesn’t take much skill to fold napkins — just an online DIY or video to watch, and 5 minutes of practice. Most are really quick and easy to do; like the Christmas tree. More than 2 decades later and I still love the Ireland Pursuit dishes. Hubby has been after me for gift ideas, and so I asked him for a few pieces to replace ones chipped or broken. They’ve held up great though! We’re hoping in early fall 2021 to take the 3 week trip to Ireland that was supposed to happen last June. Even if it has to wait until 2022, we are counting our blessing during these trying times.
That’s so sweet to have so much help from your family Debbee! I hope you get better soon, and in the meantime, this is a lovely fun table! LOVE your napkin folds! I’m going to go read that post next! I’m so glad you got to participate in the hop. Thanks your husband and V – I would have hated to miss this! Take care over there!
Thanks you Barbara! This morning I saw the surgeon who gave me the greenlight to start physical therapy, and sleep without the boot on — woo who! Tomorrow I will take my first steps in the walking boot. I really am blessed to have such a loving and supportive husband. And, it’s wonderful to have another girl in the family who gets excited about learning how to fold napkins lol! I hope you decide to try a few. I’ve only created 2 folds of my own, and there are many, many easy tutorials online.
I love woodland themed tables, especially w/ tartan. Yours is very sweet. Hugs!
Oh Bobbi, I do know how you are a bit mad for plaid lol! Glad you enjoyed the table. I got the OK from the doc to start PT tomorrow. So excited to be moving forward and off this couch!
This table looks so festive and cute. It looks like it belongs in that ski lodge. I’m sorry to hear you are on a scooter, but at least it’s a good time to be close to home. What is the snow made of? Did I miss that? I LOVE your Christmas tree napkin fold and now I’m going to go see the other eleven.
Thanks so much Andrea! Hope to be back on skis this time next year. Today, I graduated from the scooter to physical therapy and 25% weight bearing in a boot with a walker. Not going anywhere fast, but the worst is behind me. You noticed the snow, huh? It was from a specialty store and isn’t by Dpt 56. I love it, and reuse it over and over. Hope you decide to give napkin folding a try — it’s an easy, inexpensive way to style a table.
So I missed it…Why is your leg propped up? That doesn’t sound like a good thing.?
If you didn’t have to buy anything new to create your centerpiece, you are a lucky gal!!! I usually don’t “have to” buy new, but unfortunately I LIKE TO. It’s all about refreshed styling techniques as you outlined: assess what you’re going for, what you have to work with, and what the needs are…then get crackin’ on the creatin’!!!?
Beauteous!!!!!!!!!!! Have a safe weekend, and I hope your leg feels better.
Great to have you back in the conversation Alycia! Had rather extensive elective surgery 8 weeks ago on my foot. Decided to do it since we’re mostly homebound with the pandemic and just get it done. It’s not like there will be a ski trip this February or trip to Europe anytime soon anyway. Just today, I started PT for 8 weeks. Should be in shoe within the month.
Oh I do love to shop and buy new, but there’s just no room to store anything else at this point. So I mix and match and reinvent. That’s why I’ve gotten so into napkin folding.
Debbee, how lovely your tablescape is. I can imagine the nip in the cold air and coming indoors to this warm and welcoming table! I love all of the little detail you added around your sweet little deer on his toboggan. The soft glow of the lighting is perfect. I hope you and your family have a safe and happy holiday!
Setting the table when we did turned out to be perfect timing — it snowed about 4 inches soon after! And, it was lovely to sit at, the evening we decorated the freshly cut down Christmas tree. Thanks for hosting a great year of tablescape hops that allowed us all to gather together, even if only virtually.
This is so cute Debbee! Love the toboggan and all the details of the centerpiece! Those dishes are perfect.
Glad you’ve healed up well enough to start PT. At least with winter setting in you can stay inside safely until your able to walk again.
Howdy Liz! Just today, I enjoyed seeing your beautifully decorated tree. I also started PT today and am looking forward to wearing a shoe in about a month. But, don’t think there will be any skiing or ice skating until next year, lol! Wishing you a happy and healthy holiday.
How fun that we both chose a woodland themed tablescape, Debbee! I just love your forest centerpiece with the snow, pinecones, trees and deer. You are truly the queen of unique napkin folds…the tree napkins are so cool! I’m crazy about your Ireland Pursuit plates. I’ve never seen them before, and they’re fabulous! I’m sure you enjoy using them every day. I feel that way about my everyday plates…Johnson Brothers Old Britain Castles.
I’ve missed shopping this year, as well. It will be so much fun when we can return to leisurely browsing our favorite stores and attending estate sales again. I’m glad to hear you’ve started PT and plan to be on your feet a little bit by the holidays. It was nice that the elves were able to help you set this lovely table! Have a happy holiday season, my friend!
Great minds think alike Rebecca! Napkin folds allow me to mix up table stylings without the need to purchase or store anything new. We are both fortunate to have everyday dishes we love so much. My IP pattern was retired long ago and never had a wide distribution in the U.S. I saw them at a boutique kitchen store while vacationing in Texas!
Finished my online Christmas shopping over the weekend, to hopefully insure everything is here in time for the holiday. Not much fun though! Both our sons plan to be home for Christmas, and that will be the best gift of all.
Your tablescapes are always so beautiful and detailed. I am trying so hard not to collect more dishes as my space is limited, but, boy, I sure would like to do tables like yours! Hanging my blue and white transferware singles on my kitchen soffit (replacing a dusty basket collection!) lets me see my treasures daily! Someday, I will hang my pink roses plates in my daughter’s old room! Got a handful of plate hangers when I fluffed up my booth this week! Glad you are recovering on schedule; I know it is hard to be patient. Hug that helpful hubby for all of us!
Kathy, you are always so generous with your comments — thank you! It’s tough being a plate addict isn’t it? Right now, I’m really crushing over some nutcracker plates, but know there’s no room to store them. Plus, I’d only use them once a year. It’s part of why I’ve gotten so into napkin folds to style tables using dishes I already have. Instead of a new pattern, I’ve asked Santa for a few replacements across my most cherished tableware; for those that are chipped or broken.
Debbee, loved your winter woodland tablescape – the reindeer is beyond precious! Sorry that the foot is still not weight-bearing but how great that you were able to get the table together with your husband and V’s help. Thanks for the inspiration and hope you are weight bearing soon! Merry Christmas to you!
So nice to hear you enjoyed the table Kim! With everyone homebound and so isolated, I really appreciate you taking the time to reach out. It’s a little like having company stop by. No worries on my foot, all is as expected. I’m at 50% weight bearing using a walker and my PT is progressing well. Within the week, I should be at 100% and begin to transition out of the boot.
What a fabulous rustic tablescape! You really have the knack:) Thanks for sharing at Vintage Charm. xo Kathleen
Thanks Kathleen, I had a lot of fun putting it together with V for company.
I really like your woodland tablescape, Debbee. It would be lovely for Sunday dinners throughout the winter months too. I didn’t know that I needed wood log tealight holders and wood slice chargers until now – love those!
So glad to have you join me, into the woods Marie! During the long winter months, it’s nice to have a table setting and centerpiece to kinda warm things up inside. I get lots of use out of the wood slices not only on the table, but as risers in creating little vignettes.
So adorable, Debbee!!! I love your sweet reindeer tablescape… So happy to feature him at this week’s Share Your Style #286! And I always love how intricate your tables and everything you create are… A real gift. <3 Love the layering of all the china, too. And I just folded some Christmas tree napkins just like yours for one of my Advent posts!!! Fun! Big Christmas hugs to you, Barb 🙂
Oh Barb, you are always so kind and generous with your comments — thank you! The nicest compliment is you folding tree shaped napkins like in the post; I’m delighted! Can’t wait to see. I’m running out of folds to try, so I’ve asked Santa for a book with 100 ideas, lol!
What a sweet, magical table! Thanks for sharing at Vintage Charm! Pinned! xo Kathleen
Appreciate you stopping by for a visit Kathleen. We really enjoyed it for casual meals in December. Planning to keep the centerpiece up into January. We had the whitest Christmas Pittsburgh has seen in 80 years — 5 inches! It was magical to wake up to.
Happy New Year!! And thank you so much for linking with us, Debbee! I’ve picked this fun rustic Winter tablescape as one of my features at this week’s Snickerdoodle Create Bake Make Link Party.
What a lovely pick-me-up after recent events in the Capital. Really appreciate you highlighting the post this week Alexandra.
Debbee, Your Winter tablescape is absolutely adorable! I love it. Pinned! Thank you so much for sharing with us at the THF party! I’m featuring you today! Happy Christmastime! Theresa
So happy to hear that Theresa, and always thrilled to be featured! Looking forward to decking the halls and making merry this year since last year I was still in a boot and using crutches last Christmas (because of foot surgery).
Love the napkins trees. And the center piece. And that Noritake China is amazing!
Appreciate you visiting Natalia and taking the time to comment. The Noritake is my everyday dishes; I’ve had it for about 25 years!
