This year for my main Christmas table, I decided I wanted simplicity and to enjoy being "home for the holidays." Last year, while visiting Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland during Christmas, I was gifted this beautiful tablecloth, table runner, and place mats from a shop in Dublin. Simplicity and elegance at the same time!
The place mats have "Happy Christmas" in Irish Gaelic written in a gorgeous script.
Again, Fiestaware always comes through when needed: Scarlet, Evergreen, and White; the perfect accompaniment to the striped tablecloth and runner.
The green tumblers were 50 cents each at Wal-Mart.
The napkin rings were my great aunts, the napkins were purchased at World Market, and the silverware is from Gander Mountain.
These salt and pepper shakers were my mother's. They came from Cracker Barrel.
I purchased the place cards from Amazon and personalized each with a red Sharpie.
The wooden serving tray was a gift and the nesting Christmas tree with all the little goodies hidden inside was purchased at the Belfast Christmas Market last December. It and many other varieties were hand carved by nuns in Belarus.
I wish all of you and yours a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays.
That XMAS tree is awesome.
