Tablescape Thursday~Christmas 2010

I am joining Susan from Between Naps on the Porch for Tablescape Thursday. I have not participated in TT in many months. I was not planning on this week either, BUT I had taken a couple of pictures of my dining room table. So, here they are..... You have seen these Christmas plates before from last year. I used a piece of burlap as my layering piece, and I placed my sleigh and reindeers on top. I made the sleigh arrangement a few years ago.

The reindeer were purchased a The Dollar Store a few years ago. I placed a few evergreen picks, peppermint ornament balls and other ornaments throughout the arrangement.

Thanks for stopping by. I wish each and every one of you a peaceful, healthy Holiday Season! Merry Christmas to all!!!

This posting is waaaay over do.....It will short and sweet! Just wanted to share a little bit about our Christmas gatherings. I cook for my moma every Christmas Eve...I have a very small family. Christmas morning, we woke up bright and early to gifts from Santa! Yippee!!! Then off we went to the in-laws for more gift giving and breakfast. About two later, off we went to Taulbe's granny's house for more food, gifts, and conversation. Taulbe's family has a long line of cousins, nieces, nephews, uncles and aunts. Needless to say, there is a crowd when we are all together. I had a short visit with my 93 year old MeMaw and my dear friend Wendy too. All of these visits were on Christmas Day......

The Saturday after Christmas, we had a Barnett family gathering at BB's house. This side of the family is large too. Somewhere in between all this, I cooked supper for the immediate Barnett clan. Yes, I know....we like ... no LOVE to eat!!!!

Welcome to the formal dining room! Come on in and stay awhile. Dinner will be served shortly. Please ignore the UGLY blue carpet....it was here when we purchased the home. Remember that I have been a stay-at-home mom for the past 11 1/2 years.....when I get a full-time job.....the carpet is OUT OF HERE!!!!

I love my dining room furniture! Travel many miles to pick up this solid cherry beauty!

Notice my Christmas Tablescape??? Curtains were custom made by a local lady who makes curtains.

View of the Christmas Tree...victorian theme!

This is a half tree that hangs on the wall. Had it for many years!

Thanks for stopping by and checking out our dining room. Merry Christmas!
