All very beautiful. Makes me want to go out and buy more Christmas dishes. Unrelated to your beautiful post, did you see Neal the Bichon winning the Sporting Group at the Dog Show yesterday? I was hoping he would win Best of Show also but unfortunately he didn’t. Still beautiful and still a winner.
Hi Pamela, Yes Lola and Sophie watched Neal win, what a beautiful dog.🐾🐾 Thank you for your visit!
OOPS – Neal was the winner of the Non-Sporting Group.
I am blown away with all the inspiration on your Christmas tables, Mary! All the different pieces and combinations, the creative floral and tabletop themes, the tricks and tips (e.g., markers + nail polish – brilliant!)…..your creative well runs deep! Looking so forward to Tuesday. Once again, thank you for all the inspiration!
Mary, after a busy Thanksgiving it was a pleasure to wake up to your post filled with Christmas tablescapes! I’m going to relax today and enjoy reading about each one thoroughly. They are all so pretty and filled with such good tips and ideas.
Perfect way to start the Christmas season!
Thanks so much!
Every table is gorgeous! I have gotten many ideas from your post about holiday tables! Thank you!! 🎄🎄🎄🎄
Mary, Your tables are magnificent! They are all cherry and bright! I can’t pick just one. I love them all! I went to Costco Wednesday and they have live tabletop (about 3 ft) trees. I’ve never noticed them in previous years… Maybe it’s a new offering or maybe they sell out quickly. They have a stand with them and they are reasonably priced. In my mind, I wondered how you would decorate it! Your inspiration is always with me. Hope you have a great weekend. Clara❤️
Hi Mary and Happy Thanksgiving ! I was completely exhausted from Thanksgiving yesterday. We stayed overnight Wednesday at our son and dil’s and were up early putting in the 28 pound turkey and watching the Macy’s parade. But as the oldest cook/baker I’m the troubleshooter and go-to and help Mom! So I love it but the day after … so my point is thank you for your wonderful post that I lingered over all day with a few cups of coffee ! Hugs, Dorinda
Happy Saturday Mary! Your tables are fabulous with an amazing collection of dishware, gorgeous centerpieces, linens, and your creativity and talent to put it all together perfectly. I could never choose a favorite, but I do love the Father Christmases and Chalkware Santas that you have collected through the years ❤️🎅🏻🎄❤️
So gorgeous and lots of color inspiration. My favorites are the peppermint one and of course, the owl tablescape. I have a hard time resisting owl ornaments. I even bought a book of owl photography this year. Your January bird tree is one of the best ideas. All of us long-time subscribers look at these photos and though we cannot truly compete, it makes us want to go all out and just add a theme to one of our tables. Your photos are “over the top” and really deserve recognition. Thank you.
Very, very festive!
Mary, you are such an artist and tablescape designer. Each and every one is a work of art!
The nature plates with bunnies or songbirds are my favorites. They can carry over into January.
