HOMESPUN CHRISTMAS LINKY PARTY ~ RECIPES AND TABLESCAPES



Welcome to

HOMESPUN CHRISTMAS RECIPES AND TABLESCAPES

Join in the Christmas fun by linking up your yummy holiday recipes and festive tablescapes!

The table is set for Christmas Brunch.  It's our very favorite meal... I think because it is such a tradition! We eat the same thing year after year! Everyone has a favorite.

 The table is set with a pinecone theme that reflects the decorations in the rest of StoneGable.







Lots of natural element and very earthy colors make this table relaxed and quiet. This year's table is simple and easy!








A white tablecloth lays a snowy foundation...








Round twiggy placemats (Pier 1) are a nice compliment to the square plates.








A trio of white and green plates (HomeGoods) are topped with a pinecone bowl (Christmas Tree Shop) and embellished with a little sprig of cedar.








I love the shape and detail in these sweet little bowls...













A glittery acorn ornament is a take-home gift and a name card all in one!








Brown and white gingham napkins (Pier 1) are caught up in a beaded napkin ring. They brings a little sparkle to the table!!!







I tucked a tiny sprig of evergreen and a pine cone under each napkin ring...









My favorite brown ribbed stems are just the right color for the table... and perfect for Mimosas!!!









Lemon cedars and sugar pine cones run down the center of the table...










The cedars were potted in white urns I antiqued. Look for a post about antiquing pottery after the New Year.








Pinecone candles (Pottery Barn) look so real!








Everything is ready and waiting for our family on Christmas morning!

  37. This was the EXACT type of urn I was seeking for my recent feather tree post! You must share your source. :)

    It is a truly lovely scene you created.

    ReplyDelete
  38. Laura, I found this urn at a local greenhouse called Ken's Gardens, in Smoketown, Pa.

    They were very white and shiny... sorta cheap looking... but the shape was great. So I antiqued them. I think they will work with all kinds of decor. Hope this helps!
