    Mary, what a treat to see all of these stunning tablesettings and centerpieces collected in one amazing post. I agree with Shirley, you most definitely need to do a coffee table book. Now that would be at the top of my wish list! Have a wonderful weekend, ours will be rainy and cold, it has already started!

    I agree on a book with all these tablescapes, love the richness of each table. Can imagine your storage of china and other goodies. I have to constantly purge to find enough room for my china and goodies, wish I had more space. You are an inspiration many mornings. Thank you.

    Mary-What a beautiful compilation! Definitely book worthy! The Owl-idays, the cute cardinal nesting in the Mikasa red bowl, and the pinecone napkin rings are my favorites. Will be pinning those for sure. Clara 🦌🎄🎅

    Another fabulous post with so much inspiration for this Christmas Season. I will definitely be hanging on to this one for future reference and this year’s decorations around the house. Since I was a winner of your last giveaway I will pass on entering and give your other many fans more opportunities for this wonderful gift. Mary thank you so much for sharing, you are just the best.

    Wow, to get into your holiday dish closet alone – dear Santa……
    Your ideas are all magazine worthy and so inspiring! Imitation is the best form of flattery and you’ve done several things I’ve loved and tried in my own variations over the years, both table styling [elements] and floral designs. I love your style! Another great compilation recap.

    I’m on sensory overload! Each and every one is awesome! Especially love the Lenox “Winter Greetings”, with the sweet birds and the Fitz and Floyd accent pieces add even more beauty to your tables. Really enjoy those pieces as well. This entire post will need to be pinned so I can go back and review like you would a good magazine. Just incredible! 🎄

    P.s. I made the Reindeer Corn Snack mix and bagged it up in small snowflake printed baggies to give as favors at our ladies Christmas party and it was a huge hit! It is addictive! I’ll be making more for us. So much for trying to be good calorie wise during the holidays! Ha 😃
