Tablescape Thursday - late Christmas table

Hi Sweet Friends,

This is sort of a late Christmas table and I wasn't going

to share it but then I saw the pictures and thought......

why not!!  With a few changes it could look like

a Valentines or any dinner table really.

I wanted you to see this shot because this is the

actual color of the tablecloth,  for some strange

reason this tablecloth will just not photograph well,

as you will see in the other pictures.

These were actually paper goods that were

left over from my daughters Graduation

Party 2 yrs. ago,  so thought I might as well

use them,  so did for an improptu family dinner.

I love Amarillo's anyway,  but these were the only

 Plates I could find that would look nice with our

Christmas decorations as well.  Since her Graduation

was about 4-5 days before Christmas.

They were sold at Target as Christmas Ware.

They probably would not have been my choice,

but I actually wound up loving them!!

Had to come up with a quick centerpc,  so pulled thes

Amarillos out of an arrangement I have in the computer room,

and wrapped some ribbon around it,  then happened to have

just upwrapped a gift from a friend so stuck this glittery

tissue paper with one of the decorative napkins under it 

cause it looked better than on the green. then threw in

a few +mas bulbs and candles and was good to go!!

Unfortunately,  the glitter paper doesn't show up all

that well in the picutres.

I love the napkins.  I like that look of writing 

in the background, and if you look closely

you can see the french  word Joyeux.

 A candle shot!!

 From the end of the table

With a posterized affect!

Just goes to show you can have a pretty table 

even if you don't have china,  and it is nice

and easy clean up as well!

Which is really nice every now and then!

 I thought it still looked elegant enough to use stemware.

This has a posterized affect as well.

From the other end of the table.

 This has a lighting affect!

I think this could make a nice Valentines Days table

if you got rid of the Christmas balls,  and the green 

tablecloth.  You could use red hearts instead,

and a red, white or creme tablecloth.  No one

 takes the time to read the writing on the napkin 

anyway!!  Accept Me as I am decorating!!  lol

 And you could use a Love sign instead of the

Joy sign!  but the Joy sign could work too!

Well,  those are my humble opinions!!  lol

Hope you enjoyed your visit.... 

Thank for coming by...................
