Christmas Day Tour

We hosted Christmas here this year. Our daughter's in-laws have never been here so I thought I would share a little tour to wrap up Christmas. I will share downstairs tomorrow as we ate downstairs.
 I got the deer from Pier 1 last year after Christmas for half off. The Santa is Byers Choice, the company that makes the carolers.

 This hangs on the back of the front door.

 My Hummel Nativity on the credenza.

 The reason for the season.
 And above the nativity is this picture of Santa holding a nativity globe:)

 Living room...

 My Joyce Ditz Santa

 Into the kitchen, now. My gingerbread bar.





 My neighbor made this wreath and I won it at our Christmas party!

 I wrapped some packages in red paper with leopard ribbon.

 Us and our sweet girl!

 Master bedroom

 and sitting area.
 The beautiful family!!!

Dining with the Birds on a Plaid table

Good morning! I sure hope you all had a WONDERFUL Christmas and were surrounded by the ones you love. Our little Colleen had a very good day, Santa was very good to her. I set a new table for us and thought we would dine with the birds for a few weeks in winter! I fell in love with this runner when I saw it.
 I have collected the BHG line of Christmas plates, from Walmart, since they started this line a few years ago. Some of these have birds depicted on the salad plates. I started with a plaid tablecloth, and added the runner. This is a favorite design idea of mine to use a cloth and a runner.
 I kept the pinecones, small ornaments and snowflakes in the bubble glasses and added a cardinal.
 The centerpiece is a bark birdhouse with some cardinals on it. I placed it into a basket with some greens, ivy, and picks.
 Next to the centerpiece are 2 of these bird figures.

 I found these cute watering can ornaments at Walmart.  This plate depicts a chickadee on a berry vine.

 I mixed up the flatware for this table for some fun. Green,white and polka dot utensils make it interesting!
 2 napkins; a white and a plaid are gathered together with a ring of greens and berries. These are actually candle rings, but I often use them as napkin rings! Another little design trick of mine:)

 I am using some cute votives that have a border of holly, since it gets dark so early.....which I have to say I do  not like:):)
 The bird S and P are in a metal basket holder.

 The stack is a textural placemat, the plaid charger from Michaels last year, an embossed white dinner plate, and the bird salad plates.

Aren't these cute?









 I got some shots the nest morning when the sun finally came back out!


 Thanks for your visit and for all your sweet comments during this past year.
 
I so appreciate all my friends and followers and hope you will be with me in the coming year.
Wishing you all many blessings in 2017!!!
XO, Pinky
