Can you believe tomorrow is first of December? I always feels a little flutter of panic when the calendar page turns to December with my endless “to do” lists and the hustle and bustle of the busy holiday season.
It helps me to look back to previous years for some inspiration and short cuts, so I pulled together a round-up of Christmas tables from the archives. Click on the links to revisit for centerpieces, sources or Christmas table inspiration!

Mary, each photo offers so much inspiration and creativity! It was so good to see the Lenox pattern, I have always loved it. The Fitz and Floyd rabbits always bring a smile! Wishing you a joy-filled day!
Lots of inspiration Mary! Love all of the plaid:@)
It’s so much fun to look back Mary, I had forgotten how brilliant your gardener’s Christmas table was…I look back at my tables just to remember what I have and where I could have possibly stashed it :) I had to chuckle at the F&F Santa reading his list, I need to get on it! Hope you’re getting some rain today- on to December!

It is hard to pick my favorite….they all are so beautiful. I love them all. Your details in each are really make your settings so lovely. I always look forward to each and everything you post.
I am with you Mary….When December 1st rolls around, I go into the Holiday panic mode. You made my morning by seeing this wonderful collection of your Christmas/Holiday tables. I take so much inspiration from you and your amazing talent. They are all so gorgeous in so many ways….They are ALL my favorites!! Happy decorating!
I love your recipes and would like to keep them but your PRINT ability is very overwhelmed. It prints photos as well as text not just the recipes. Is there any way that could be reconfigured. It would be so delightful. Thank you
Hi, There is a printable recipe link that allows you to print the recipe only, in 90% off all recipe posts. Look for it highlighted in red in the recipe at the bottom of the post. :)
Your posts are so beautiful and energizing! I love the photo of the rain boots with the holly…I have a pair of Virginia Tech (university in VA) boots that I am going to use for a winter arrangement…inspired by you! Happy Holidays!!!
So many great table settings! It gives me great ideas thanks to your talent. Wishing you a great week and beginning to December🎄(Tomorrow)
Love them all!!! 🎄🎄🎄🎄
It’s hard to pick a favorite, Mary, as each and every one of your tables is so full of charm and inspiration! Thanks for sharing the beauty of the season.
I so love your work, Mary -all of it!
It’s fun to look back and see some of your fabulous Christmas tablescapes. I can’t pick a favorite, although I always enjoy your potting shed!
Everything is beautiful but being a bird lover I have to say the bird plates are my favorite.

So So Beautiful, I’m already in the mood.
Mary, I love ALL of them!! And I’m running out to some Christmas festivities but must tell you first that I’m so excited to have found two of the Santa head plates today at HomeGoods! Now my mind is spinning with ideas to use them — maybe Christmas morning just for me and my own special Santa! Linda
A treasure trove of Christmas displays. With the weather colder now it puts one more in the mood for Christmas. Thank you for sharing.
