Oh my! Every table is a work of art! They always are…I have received so many ideas for my tables and other decor from your site! You have TRULY been an inspiration, at least for me, over the years! MERRY CHRISTMAS MARY!!! 🎄☃️🎄♥️
I could sit and look at these tablescapes all day long, Mary. If you made a book of them all, I would definitely buy it (hint, hint). Better than Cottage Journal, such quality! I love the Villaincourt Santas collection you have and the Lynch Creek Farm collaborations. I bought this year’s cardinal globe centerpiece as a gift for a sister. I loveyours in the burnished look from 2022 better, but still, their greens are wonderful. I was the lucky recipient several years ago from Shirley in your group’s giveaway.
Your winter tablescapes after Christmas are always so striking too. I love the woodland, bird and icy themes.
Looking so forward to Tuesday’s tables!
What a great selection of festive holiday tables! ‘Tis the season. Hope you had a lovely Thanksgiving.
Thank you Mary for such an inspirational selection of tablescapes, one for each day leading up to Christmas.. I think I like the sparkling nested best it could be used all of January too.
Absolutely gorgeous, each and every one! You are always a source of inspiration throughout the year. Thanks for sharing!🎄
Thank you for taking the time to share all these beautiful holiday tables settings with us, Mary. We know where to look for ideas and inspiration. You’re the best! ♥️
You are amazing! All BEAUTIFUL tables!
The dark greenery garland table runner interlaced with curled tartan ribbon and gold votives centered by the fruit arrangement is the essence of classic simplicity…serene and calming in the rush of a holiday. All the
others are spectacular creations pointing up your ingenuity, Mary, ……
you can create artistically on so many levels. Thank you for the wonderful
ideas and inspiration.
Beautiful, beautiful round-up of Christmas tables. There are so many fabulous details on every table. The Vaillancourt Chalkware Santas and Father Christmases that you have collected are unique and make a handsome collection. I remember seeing them many years ago in Country Home Magazine?! I agree with Rita, publish a book. Actually you could publish many, many books! I am behind with my decorating, but I hope to put it in high gear❤️🎄❤️
Mary, you provide such inspiration to all of us. Thank you.
Such a beaut6iful round-up of your Christmas tablescapes. You have an amazing collection of beautiful dishes, plates and decor. Each one is gorgeous and so magical. I am looking forward to seeing another beautiful Christmas table on Tuesday.
Mary, I’ve been clicking back to see each post in full again. Each one full of so much goodness and inspiration. It’s easy to get lost in the moment. Difficult to single out a favorite, each has it’s own personality. That said, I think to Owl-idays is sparking a new post for me. After all I have a fun owl pan I can use. This has motivated me to make a plan. I owl-ays appreciate you!
Oh Mary, what an inspiration you always are. Thank you sharing all of these table scapes
Merry Christmas !!
Gert
Mary, beautiful table settings! Any one of these would be perfect for a special holiday gathering! I look back for reference when I’m decorating my house and always find a recipe or an idea from your posts.
I love the sparkling nested tree for January. It provides some cheer when Santas are being packed away.
Great way to kick off the Christmas season!
Mary, I love all the tablescapes you have shared here! They are definitely giving me ideas for Christmas tables to share. :)
Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving and will have a lovely December and Christmas,
Merry hugs,
Barb :)
The forest friends plates are my favorite – so sweet. They would be perfect for our table as our home is on a heavily wooded lot. Deer, rabbits, raccoons and (sometimes foxes) pass through nightly.
