Glitz and Galm Christmas Dining Room!

Good morning! We have had a whirlwind weekend but that's what the holidays are all about! Fri. night was our tree trimming party at the clubhouse and Sun. night was our neighborhood Christmas party at a nearby restaurant. Dinner, dancing and FUN!
Now on to the dining room. I decided to set a glamorous table this year when I found this gorgeous beaded runner. Then on Sat. while Christmas shopping I treated myself to these GORGEOUS beaded placemats! I have wanted these for years so bought myself a Christmas present. When I saw them I could not resist any longer:) Thanks, Santa1!!!

The appetizer plates I found at Home Goods and knew they would be perfect with my dishes and Trees! I have a tree theme going on all around the house this year, and with a TOUCH of animal too! The little trees on the plates are ornaments from Walmart!!! They are beautiful. I had the lady wrap each separately in a little bag to keep them nice:) My gold flatware came from my SIL, years ago and I love it. Thanks again, Janie!

Some trees are elevated on mercury glass stands. The candle rings feature greens and faux pearls that match the garland.

You who have been with me, know I made the centerpiece years ago.

It sits in a beautiful gold urn.

There is a gold napkin and a silver napkin sheath gathered in a silver ring featuring different charms.

The copper trees have been in the bathroom in different years but moved here for this table.

It all started with this sparkly "NOEL" runner.

My Grandmothers wine glasses make another appearance.

2 of the plates say "Be Merry" and the other 2 say "Happy Holidays".

I will share the rest of the dining room in a later post, this is getting too long:)

I found a new bottle brush tree this year, I have a collection of them too.

And this gold twirly tree is several years old.

Thanks for your visit! I hope you are getting ready for the big day but have time to really sit and enjoy the season!

XO, Pinky

Update!! I remembered I had found these napkin rings last week so thought I should use them! I love how they match the candle rings so well. I found them at Hobby Lobby.
