SETTING THE CHRISTMAS TABLE



http://ourvintagehomelove.blogspot.com/2011/12/christmas-table-decor-ideas.html

It's time to gather the tablecloth, napkins, napkin rings, silverware, and dinnerware so the creativity can begin.  Today I'm setting the table for that special Christmas dinner.

First, we need a special table.

Now, let's put on the apron and get busy.

Cleaning up is always the last chore, but Christmas towels give this job a cheerful note.

When dinner is done and it's time to relax, grab a comfy quilt and curl up with a cup of spiced apple cider.

Decorating Your Home For Christmas

                  Shiny Brite Wreath

Last week we decorated the Christmas tree...I know, I know, I started at the top which kinda created a problem for the others who needed to actually stand the tree up and put the other ornaments on.... So today I will start at the front door....with a wreath :)

Actually, my wreath is hanging over our fireplace....but the front door seems like such a welcoming idea!

I found lots of wonderful wreaths and some of them are suitable to leave hanging up in your home all year long....like this one!
A beautiful wreath created from pages of a book...

                       Book Wreath

I would leave this next one up all year long also, although it was created as a Christmas wreath it would be a fabulous decor item for a home, especially if you are using the trendy gray colors as part of your decorating scheme...don't you think this would be lovely hanging against a gray wall??

   White and Gray Felt Christmas Wreath

For those of you with children, how happy would this look hanging in their room...or the family room :)  And if you want to gift it to someone it comes in a pizza box...that can be decorated...how fun is that!

                   Crayon Wreath

Need something for the man cave?  Look at this!

              Shotgun Shell Wreath

You want a vintage wreath you say???  Well OK, how about these :)

       Bottle Brush Christmas Wreath

           Red Bottle Brush Wreath

And last but certainly not least...if your house has an elegance about it, these would be perfect....2 tiny vintage wreaths...

        Small Silver Bottlebrush Wreaths

Or one newly created from vintage mercury glass ornaments...although if you want one like this you will need to place your order...for NEXT year...that's how popular these are!

     Elegant Christmas Ornament Wreath

To view any of these...and the shops they are in...please click on the name below each photo...

Hope you have a great time decorating...check in each day to see what other treasures have been found for you....we love to shop...especially with someone else's money :)

Really cool Christmas tree stands

RattyAndCatty

Well, we now have a Christmas tree and the toppers but what we really need is a Christmas tree stand. You need a stand to make the tree.
Do you know how many cool ones there are? Let me tell you...there are lots and lots of them

LUCKY7DESIGN

These ones are vintage and I think I really need one of each. (I don't know what I would do with them all, but I like them...lol)

How about one or two that looks like it is part of a tree itself.

They even have ones that have Holiday  wishes on them.

Next we can move on to the lights, or is it the decorations first? We have a mixed up tree, (which is VE’s fault) but in the end it will be a very beautiful tree.

Wishing you all Merry pre-Christmas.
