Dinner Group Table

We hosted our dinner group last week and I got so busy with Christmas that I didn't get a chance to share. I hope you all had a WONDERFUL Christmas, we sure did!!!! I had fun setting a SIMPLE table. I did use our Lenox Christmas dishes but didn't do a big stack or add alot of glitz! I am loving tartans again this year so started with my tartan plaid tablecloth and napkins.

I have been breaking wine glasses lately so everyone else had a clear wine glass but I had this one.

Detail of the centerpiece that I made many years ago.

The centerpiece is flanked with my 2 deer.

I love these guys.

The pattern on these dishes is simple but beautiful to me: ribbons and berries.

The S and P

I also used my goldware. I like to make my guests feel like they are special even when I set a simple table.

Can you see the poinsetta design on the napkim?

The garland over the hutch. I am HOPING that this coming year, Joe may get some time to make me a built in piece here. The room is tiny and I could use the storage. We'll see:):)

I thought I would add this picture of Christmas day too. This was the BEST Christmas and Colleen is the best Christmas present EVER!!!!

Thanks for your vist. I didn't get a chance to share alot with you this holiday season. I am making lists for NEXT year to be more organized!!!! The new year is rapidly approaching! What are you going to resolve to do?
