Can you believe it? Only 2 Tablescape Thursdays left before Christmas! Make sure to visit Susan @ BNOTP for more decked out dining. I'm also linking up with lovely Leigh from Tales from Bloggeritaville for Thrifty Thursday.
My table is set for Christmas dinner as I eagerly await for my 2 boys to come home from college. It will be the first time since August that my family will be complete. This is the BEST Christmas present any mother could wish for!
This is one of my favorite thrift shop finds, all polished up for our Christmas table. It's so shiny you could see my reflection on it! It's a silver butter dish with a pivoting lid.
Say, ahhh...
a little wider, please...
The lid turns all the way around until it's hidden underneath the dish. Pretty snazzy, huh?
The table is very traditional, just like me.
The gold chargers are from Wal Mart. That reminds me, I have to purchase some silver ones for my January tablescape!
These pillar candles I use all year round by changing out the color of the candles. For Christmas, they get a little extra adornment with some ribbon and greenery.
The china is called Holly Holiday, purchased over the years from May Company. Remember that department store?
Red napkins, glittered fruit, and a gold organdy ribbon complete the setting, while the Mikasa water goblet and wine glass add a little sparkle.
Lastly, some simple Dollar Tree ornaments hang from gold ribbon from my Victorian chandelier.
Wishing you all the Merriest Christmas from my cottage to yours!Till next time,

Oh, I LOVE those red ornaments just hanging down from your chandelier!!!
Also that butter dish is way cool. When I first saw it, because the photo was close up of the edge, I THOUGHT I was looking at a warming dish for a CASSEROLE!!!

Good Morning Lorna,
I just love your tablescape. The butter dish is to die for, so to speak :) Your holly dishes are lovely too.
It is great to be back and visiting your blog. Everything looks wonderful.
Hi Lorna,
Just stopping back by to see if you'd had time to do another tablescape post since your beautiful Christmas one. It was fun seeing it again. I really like the way you suspended the red ornaments from your chandelier.
Hope you and yours are doing well.
Bye for now,
Bill

Lorna, nice to "see" you again. What a grand table you created! Wow!
Been busy lately so visits are sparse, but definitely working on it. How's 2010 treatin' you so far?
Hello Lorna ~I wanted to stop by to reconnect. I've had a few absences from blogging and have lost touch with some of my friends that I miss sooo.
Since winter landed on our doorstep...it provided us the motivation for some indoor fun.
It's wonderful how inspiring blog friends as yourself can be, that's why I love returning the gesture, by sharing cooking or DIY ideas too.
I hope you can stop by so we can reacquaint ourselves. .
Sweet wishes,
Sara
Oh Lorna,
It was so great to hear from you. I am so glad you are doing okay and hope you are enjoying your blogging break.
I miss you and hope to talk to you again soon.
Beautiful! I am so glad I discovered your blog!!
