Hello, Dear Ones! Well, I hope you don't mind but I wanted to show you a little more of my dining room ~ all ready for Christmas. I'm just a bit shy to show you my room after showing you my friend's beautiful home. I'm so glad you all liked it!
I kept all my white dishes in my china cabinet that I had during the fall. I just took out the fall things and poked in some Christmas things.
Here's a little view at the top! I poked up those three big balls and added a ribbon. I liked how it looked.
You've seen this side of the dining room with my olden buffet dressed up for Christmas.
Then there's this side with Little Richard decked out for Christmas, too!
Here's my table softly Christmasing.
I poked down a very olden white tablecloth and then the fun began. You know how I'm all about the fun! :)
I used my Haviland Blue Garland dishes, white napkins and blingy napkin ring.
The sugar and creamer are so pretty, I think. I love all the frilliness of the design! Can you love all the frilliness of design of a little sugar and creamer? You bet you scratchy petticoats you can! :)
The salt and peppers with the covered casserole in the background. Silver and blue looks icy to me.
Blue, white and silver spells cold! Are you getting a chill yet?
I poked down my little silver sugar scuttle but alas, I don't have the scoop so I use a little sugar spoon. That works.
I'm using my crystal glasses with a candy cane poked into the tea glass. I just love this! Can you love a crystal glass with a candy cane poked into it? Well, you bet your ho ho hos you can! :)
Just in case someone wants butter on their roll I'm using my olden Fostoria butter dish. That's a little butter knife propped up against the butter dish in case you're wondering.
There you have it ~ every inch of my dining room. Now I've got to start cooking so I can poke down some food on those dishes! :)

I'll leave you with a little Note Song~
Merry Christmas, Darling
Greeting cards have all been sent
The Christmas rush is through
But I still have one wish to make
A special one for you
Merry Christmas darling
We're apart that's true
But I can dream and in my dreams
I'm Christmas-ing with you
Holidays are joyful
There's always something new
But every day's a holiday
When I'm near to you
The lights on my tree
I wish you could see
I wish it every day
Logs on the fire
Fill me with desire
To see you and to say
That I wish you Merry Christmas
Happy New Year, too
I've just one wish
On this Christmas Eve
I wish I were with you
Logs on the fire
Fill me with desire
To see you and to say
That I wish you Merry Christmas
Happy New Year, too
I've just one wish
On this Christmas Eve
I wish I were with you
I wish I were with you
~ sung by The Carpenters

Deciding on the correct kitchen countertops is the perfect way to beautify your existing cooking and eating area. When you are feeling the desire to do some refurbishing, this will be one of the main things to consider since you will be working with an existing setup.

ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty dining room! As I looked closer, we have the table to match your buffet. And then, you have my mom's china which is now mine. The delicate pure white blue flower Havilland. Your table looks like home to me. My youngest will love the candy canes I'll be putting in the crystal.

Lovely, lovely, lovely!! Shelia, the table looks so pretty with its ice blue and white. I don't think I've ever noticed that you had a highboy in the room. Really like that. And I don't think I knew you had lived in Roswell. Did you know I was from the northern part of the state? Never feel shy about showing your home, my friend- your home reflects you so well. Wishing you a very happy holiday season and a very Merry Christmas, my friend. xo Sue
ReplyDeleteIt's all so pretty, Shelia. I love your dining-room so much. The two large windows and the high bureau in between is just perfect. And you know I love white dishes so your collection is eye-candy for me. You should be tired...you have been decorating for a month. Thanks for sharing it all and have a very Merry Christmas. Hugs, Deb
ReplyDeleteBeautiful table setting! I love your dish pattern and especially love your centerpiece. I won't be home until late tonight and have to pull together a big Christmas Eve meal in only one day. I think I'm going to do a version of your centerpiece. I also have a sugar scuttle like yours.
ReplyDeleteHi Sheila, Your dining room is beautifully decorated for Christmas. I love the sideboard with the transferware hung above it. Thanks for joining my party and Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Sherry
What a gorgeous table Sheila. Your home looks so pretty and very ready!
ReplyDeleteWhat a delight to see your gorgeous dining room all dressed up for Christmas. Your Christmas dinner will be delicious served on that gorgeous table setting. I love the salts and the cansy canes for a bit of color. Your dishes are lovely as well.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful Christmas my dear blogging friend.
Blessings and love, Jeanne
