Wa-hoo! The paperwhites are on the dining room table. They form a little forest for my attempt at a woodland inspired table.
When I first began thinking about this table, I wanted it to be natural and woodsy – like a hunting lodge. Do not laugh. It is okay to dream, but I can also accept my limitations.
The place setting – mesquite plank charger, red plate, tartan plate, and Spode Christmas tree salad plate. Sterling flatware and goblets add a touch of glam to the table. There is also a pewter drinking cup. The only thing new on this table is the three tier stand that I got at an estate sale a couple of weeks ago. I love being able to pull together what I have to create a table. Okay, what is missing? You got it. No napkins. (I am a dork!)
Santa is peering through the paperwhites.
We have had the deer for many years, and they are usually upstairs. This year I thought they might enjoy being in the dining room. They fit right in. The fresh greenery adds a nice touch.
Here you can see the red printed velvet scarf that is another layer on the table. This was an earlier picture before I added the fresh greenery and also made other changes.
What I love most of all are the paperwhites. They are like little stars glistening above the table.
Blessings to you and yours,
