I set this table with a set of dishes I found at the Thrift store still in the box. Staffordshire Engravings Yuletide pattern in red. So pretty and festive, $20 for a place setting for four.
The red color on the plates is a pinkish shade and so I've used deep red/burgundy color for the place mats and centerpiece.
The gold and deep red pop on the table.
I found three of these wine glasses at a Antique Mall for $8! I will find that 4th glass I'm sure of it, meanwhile they go perfectly with this table.
The gold mesh ornaments were also found at a thrift shop and the dark berry ornaments are from Big Lots on sale!
The silverware was a wedding gift to my parents over 50 years ago. My Mom has passed it on to me and I treasure it.
This little dish was also found at the Antique Mall, love the shape and color.
I keep thinking something is missing from this tablescape, but can't put my finger on it. So any ideas will be appreciated. Maybe a white tablecloth over the table would help? Meanwhile I will use this tonight and then tomorrow set my table for Christmas Day.
I do love these colors and the shine of the gold ornaments and beads.
Have a great Christmas Eve!Linda

Beautiful tablescape! Thanks for visiting my blog ;)
Thanks for commenting on my blog! I like yours too! Your tablescapes are so pretty and creative. I've never been very good at setting tables, but have always appreciated a nicely set dinner table. It always makes the meal seem so much more special!
What a lovely table and the china is beautiful. It looks so elegant.
Everything looks so pretty! Those Staffordshire plates are delightful. Happy New Year!

Such a pretty table! I love the red dish and the wine glasses - and are those gold beads you've laced throughout the centrepiece? So magical!
