Here We Go A Caroling!

Are you all ready for Christmas?  

Are your presents all wrapped? (mine aren't)  

Is your menu all planned?  

Is your table all set?  

Well there is one thing I can check off the list.  

This table setting is for Christmas Eve.  

I've had these Carolers forever. 

I love that they are timeless in their plaid and red velvet.  

A few years ago I picked up a set 

of the Christmas Carols salad plates 

after Christmas at Williams Sonoma.  

They go so well with the Pottery Barn Plaid 

dishes and some gold chargers that I had on hand.

I used the flatware that I picked up at World Market 

and Ralph Lauren napkins from Tuesday Morning.

The drums on this plate jogged 

my memory of a pair of drums 

that I had in the storage area.  

I placed one of the Carolers on top of one 

and put a plaid bow atop the other.

  There used to be a place in California 

when I lived there called Shinoda 

where I bought these drums.  

It was a wholesale place to buy all kinds 

of decorative items like greenery, baskets, ribbon 

and all things Christmas!  

I miss that place.  

Around Thanksgiving they would 

showcase all of the Christmas trees 

that they had created.

It was a great place to go for inspiration!

I tied a piece of jute with an acorn hot glued 

on it around the napkin 

and placed some berries inside.  

I have had more fun with my tables 

this year than ever!  

Maybe it's because my creativity outlet 

has been squashed by this whole house sale thing.  

I'm not complaining... 

well a little bit... 

but it is hard to keep everything 

clean and put away.  

I'm kind of a messy creative person 

and so I hate to drag all the stuff out 

knowing that I am going to make a mess.  

I used the last of my fresh greens above the table.  

I bought two at Costco after Thanksgiving 

and kept them in the garage where it is cool.  

They last a long time!

Merry Christmas to all of my readers!  

Have a safe and wonderful holiday 

with your family and friends.  

I can't wait to just relax and enjoy everyone!  

Check out my table that I shared yesterday 

if you are looking for table ideas...  

 Red and White Wonderland...

Better get to the wrapping!

Until Next Time,

Beaux R'eves,
