Looked everywhere for your black “Glad Tidings” plates, but no longer available.
Thank you for all your beautiful posts throughout the year. You’ve given us all such great ideas and inspiration.
Christmas blessings to you and your family…..🎄
Every one of the tables are special. So special I can’t chose a favorite. You have a wonderful gift and thank you for sharing .
This was a very wonderful read this morning. The perfect one to look at before I get started decorating within my home this weekend/week for our upcoming family gathering. Thanks Mary for inspiring us all the time and giving us wonderful ideas throughout the season!
Inspiration around every corner! Exquisite!
Thank you so much for all your hard work to show us such stunning tables.
Happy Friday!
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!!
Beautiful!
So many gorgeous and incredible tables Mary, they deserve to be enjoyed over and over! My house is still a hot mess, but I have done the dining room table {priorities!} I am hoping to get it all straightened out this weekend, all your beautiful photos are a wonderful motivator :) 🎄

This is SO MUCH MORE FUN than cooking!!! Luv’d!! franki
It was so nice to look back on all your Christmas tables,Mary! It’s hard to pick a favorite, as they’re all so beautiful. Thanks for always inspiring and creating. Congratulations to Sandra! Happy weekend to you. xx
Mary, where did you get the flatware with the gold braid edging and what is the brand? Love it. Everything is beautiful. My fave time of year. Thanks so much for always keeping us enlightened and motivated. Kathy from Utah
Everything! Just EVERYTHING! What a feast for the eyes! Thank you!
Mary, every photo is magazine worthy! I know many readers have suggested a book, you really should, it would be a huge success! Merry weekend!
Love this when you do a new table and recap others. . . I have a couple of favorites here but adore all of them. You tie each table into a glorious work of art. Then it does help me to get out the china, etc but you have reached the high bar on tablescapes. Great visual images.
CONGRATULATIONS TO THE WINNER!!! Lucky duck!! I love all your tables..I have soooo many tablecloths and I change just about every week during the Christmas season..I usually end a couple days before Christmas Eve with a tablecloth my sister embroidered for me..it’s beautiful and I love it!! I enjoy my Christmas tablecloths and dishes every year!! But this addiction has to stop..I see a new one every year…hopefully, I will resist this year!! Merry Christmas Mary! 🎄❤️🎄❤️🎄❤️
You are truly amazing and I so appreciate you creativity and beauty in all you do. Thank and Merry Christmas to your fluff balls and your entire family.
Love the china with the birds especially! So pretty! Merry Christmas to you & your family. Enjoy pictures so much!
Wowweeeeee…… what joy and delight! Thank you for these festive and inspiring pictures. Bravo!
As you know, I no longer blog but I do receive an email of a few very special blogs. Yours is at the top of my list. I miss my blogging days but love this season as I will definitely be tablescaping. My eternal struggle and thus my question of you is how do you store and organize it all?
Merry Christmas to you!
Fondly,
Alma, The Tablescaper
Wow – this is wonderful Mary! I love the plaids, the beautiful china, and the flower arrangements, plus your totally gorgeous style in all of them! 💗 Happy Holiday Table setting!
Beautiful post, Mary, as always. I just love all the things you show. I have several tablecloths I use during Christmas, but my favorite for Christmas day is a crochet and cream-coloured linen tablecloth my great grandmother made along with 12 cream-coloured linen napkins edged with crochet. It makes Christmas so special, at least to me, to “have” my great grand with us. Hope you and your family have a wonderful, blessed Christmas.
Lovin’ all the plaid Mary! Congrats to your winner, I’m sure she’s thrilled:@)
Mary, I loved this post! So much to enjoy after a long workday. Your posts are better than magazines. You have a spectacular Christmas collection! So many wonderful ideas. Thank you for sharing ❣️ Clara🎄
Lovely as always! I lust for dishes after reading your post but always get great ideas on how to use what I have.Thanks so much for sharing!
I love all your tablescapes. My question is, where do you store all those decorations and dishes?
I will Never get enough plaid especially tartan.
Amazing Tablescapes I couldn’t even pick a favorite! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Mary, it is so nice to have this post for a reference for all your amazing Christmas scapes. That many feature tartan is no surprise and certainly appeals to me. I brought home the Pier 1 Nutcracker plates this year. Happened to be there the weekend they had a too good to pass up sale on the sets. I hope to get my act together and create a tartan nutcracker table. Though things are not going my way with directions so far. Got the tree up last night. Thought I’d get it decorated today, but ended up busy with other details. Tonight the lights stopped working!!! Thankful it wasn’t already decorated, but I went out in rush hour traffic to get a replacement. Now I’m avoiding the task by jumping on a few blogs. This is when I wish Santa would send his elves to decorate for me. Thanks again for all this fabulous inspiration! Happy Holidays!
How do your do it?????
Well, however you manage it, your time that you take, your talent and inspiration are amazing, fabulous and so appreciated!!
Thank you!
You have such beautiful dishes and all your tables coordinate so well with your napkins, tablecloths, etc.
I love everything! So many fabulous ideas!
I’m so behind but working hard to be ready for Christmas.
What a great round up of Tablescapes! I spent a delightful evening enjoying your many talents in flower arrangements, tablescaping, and photography! Thank you for sharing!
Hi – A while back I remember seeing some sort of “Reindeer Munch” recipe on your sight. It used Christmas candy corn. I found some today at the Vermont Country Store, and I was so excited! But now, I can’t find the recipe. I’m pretty sure it was on your sight. Can you help me?
Thanks, Vicky B.
