It still seems a bit early to be talking about Christmas. All I've done is a bit of decorating and not much else. I'd be quite happy to take care of that part and leave the rest to someone else, but that's not going to happen. Here's an idea for a simple white table setting. The doilies came in handy again, white hydrangeas from our lovely neighbour's garden, with lots of candlelight & fairy lights to add some magic.
Have you done any Christmas decorating or shopping?
Yes, I have shopped and decorated a bit ;O) I love the distressed table and the doilies and scrabble tiles on the plates......well actually, I love it all! Tania xx
My family's tradition is to start decorating the day after Thanksgiving here over here in Florida - USA. The first tree went up last night for the 1 yo grand-nephew. The wonder in his eyes as he saw the lights pop on was an amazing thing. I love the seastars with the stars in the lantern. Such a simple but elegant tablescape. You probably need some time on the beach to mull over your Xmas decorating plans before you jump in ;)
Your table is lovely! I especially love the flatware - it reminds me of a set that my parents own. Just gorgeous!
I haven't done any Christmas decorating (or shopping!) yet - I'm going to be really busy at work for the next two weeks, so I'm just waiting until things slow down there.
Such beautiful simple table decoration images here, love the doilies on the plates. Most of my X'mas shopping is complete & have just started creating a few x'mas decorations. Did a xmas quilt on the weekend:)
A simplicidade deu um toque de glamour maravilhosos. As Hortência branca ficaram divinas. Adorei conhecer seu blog, cheio de dicas preciosas. Tenha uma ótima semana.
My little boys have decorated their room, with all their op shop finds from the last 2 years, looks amazing in a shiny, glitzy, gaudy 70's type way- but they have done a great job of putting it all together!
I love your white Christmas table it looks so pretty. I usually use colours of red and green to add warmth to our dark and cold days, but your setting is so fitting with the sunshine and summer. Sarah x
Hi my favorite colour is white and happy to see a white Christmas table.this is so pretty.like your napkin fold.thank you.visiting you from Marty's Stroll thru life....:):):)
hi cassie, the knives were given to me by my mum. i think they've been in the family for a long time. the forks were a purchase from another blogger kate @ liliesforkate.blogspot.com :)
This is absolutely my style ~ I love the balance of colors and textures. I think I need those placemats! Thanks for linking to the Home for the Holidays party! :-)
