Two Christmas Tables~

I only put up my Christmas adornment 12 nights before Christmas.....a tradition handed down from my mother,  so in the meantime....I played with two Christmas tablescapes and enjoyed decorating my beautiful church.

This past week I hosted two Christmas lunches and here are a few photos.

I really do love playing with dishes!!

Enjoy!



All decked out in silver, blue and white.....



Shortbread cookies as place settings....






My gorgeous friends who are my greatest supporters all year round joined me for lunch at the blue table.....
The second one, I just changed the colour scheme .....all red, silver, gold and a touch of St Nick!



   Two little ones joined us, these were for them....








Deconstructed Caramel Tart!




All my cousins enjoying the sunshine before lunch.....








See you soon!

  1. Oh my goodness, I am blown away by the beauty of your Christmas tables! I would give my eye teeth to have a place at either one of them... although the blue-and-white is just absolutely gorgeous. Thank you for visiting my blog - I am so glad to have found yours!

  3. Your table settings were beautiful! I used to LOVE setting a pretty table but I've become a bit lazy now. I must say, you have prodded me into doing at least ONE pretty table this holiday season :) You have a beautiful, tropical-looking garden and it was super to see all your guests enjoying themselves. Those littlies must have been so excited to see their special setting :)

  10. Great tablescapes! I am partial to red so that's my favorite. Your Christmas crackers are beautiful too! I've never seen any with such pretty wrapping.
