Christmascape at my water feature.....food for my soul!

I'm trying a few tablescapes for Christmas. This nostalgic one in blue and white is at my new water feature.

Serene, cool, calming and comforting...

Silver, white and blue!



        
                                  Aqua glassware and 'fynbos' bauble!


Tablecloth and napkin from my mom♥




                                                  

Layering of plates.....


                        And the most delicate African Angel..........


All make for a special African Christmas of fond memories!

Surely there is something in
the unruffled calm of nature that overawes
our little anxieties and doubts:
the sight of the deep-blue sky,
and the cluster of stars above,
seems to impart quiet to the mind.       ~ Jonathan Edwards.

See you soon!

  6. I think that Jonathan Edwards would have equated your gorgeous tablescape with magnificent blue of a lovely African sky. What is the pattern of the plates? So beautiful! Thank you for sharing your charming design...and I love your new water feature! What a luxury. Cherry Kay
