I love this silverware and underbought 15 years ago when I got it. It is Faberware and is a love knot that also looks like an apple or berry to me. I'll never be able to buy more on Replacement China because it is so high$$.
I got the green placemats at a resale shop, the red at TJMaxx recently. I love scrolly, fleur de lis and wheat shaft design. This set of 8 salad plates are from Dollar Tree and don't they remind you of my everyday $1 clearance Kroger plates? There are 4 different designs on them. You get a peek at my new BB&Beyond clearance napkins too with a wreath ring.
And here is a great morning light shot. We got the glasses at Lenox right as a Mill store was closing their doors. It was an anniversary gift several years ago. My helper and I sugared the glasses for you by rubbing the rim with lime and dipping into my pink sugar. I got that red rose/berry floral for $1 Hobby Lobby 90% clearance last month without the ceramic vase. I am a huge Cardinal fan!! I love the red boys and the brown girls just as much. There is a pair that visit me daily, so I tucked a few boys in flittering around looking for your attention. 
I think this poinsetta plate is my fav of the 4...there is a holly and Pine tree too. We set some red grapes out to wet your appetite. We also set out some favorite Christmas books to thumb thru.
My helper is pleased with our results.
We think we hear a girl cardinal flittering in to get a glimpse of all the fuss...Love and blessings to you all!! Please check out Maggi at Just add glitter and stir for more fun.
Beautiful setting. Merry Christmas!

Wonderful post, and what stunning photos!
ReplyDeleteI love, love, love your table settings! The napkins, the napkin rings, those divine plates... totally festive and fabulous! It all looks so inviting and welcoming. I'm so glad you joined the party because it gave me a chance to find your blog. I am a pink girl myself and you absolutely hooked me with this: "I'm domestically challenged but we all got our baggage. I have the dishes..was I suppose to cook dinner?" Love it. :) I'll be following along from now on. Come see me for a visit!
ReplyDeleteThanks for having me over!

ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous table setting! Any meal is special when you have something so pretty to eat from.

So pretty! I especially like the glasses (and the festive touch you added to them) and your flatware. Have you tried looking for additional pieces on eBay? I agree about Replacements ... great resource, and great if you break one piece of grandmother's china and want to complete the set ... but pricey!
ReplyDeleteHappy CIJ!
