Glowing Holiday Dining!

Dining for four...
 A few days ago I showed you my everyday table arrangement.  
Today I've added a table setting for four.

 No doubt you've seen these dishes before with other bloggers.  I found them last year but never had a chance to do a tablescape with them.  
Today I layered two chargers on top of a square  placemat.
The silverware is an old set of my mom's. They are called Reflection by Rogers circa 1960's

  I got these placemats last spring and forgot about them.  
I found them while I was rummaging through my linens and I
decided their bright green coloring would be a great backdrop 
for my chargers and dishes.


The dinner plate is adorned with a charming Christmas scene- it's
called "Christmas Home" by Royal Stafford

 These red poinsettia plates are by Maxcera called "Honey Poinsettia"

 The napkin rings were a bargain I found while nosing around at Bed Bath and Beyond. Clearanced at $ .99 each. 


The little bowl tops the dish stack off beautifully! I like the repeat of the 
green, red and white throughout the layers.


The red stemware is from the French Countryside collection by Mikasa which
I've had for several years.  I love their ruby red coloring.  
I should get at least one more set to coordinate with these water goblets.

 I added a few more candle votives to the setting for more holiday glow!

 I used my Murano dish my daughter brought back for me  
from Italy for some chocolate candies.
We are chocoholics!

 Down inside the mercury glass hurricanes I have a scented candle.  
A gentle perfume lingers through the air.

I chose to not cover the table so it's shiny top would add to the glow of the table.

Thank-you for joining me and viewing my

  4. Ooooooohhhhhhh....this is pretty!!!! I like how you kept the table bare instead of covering it with a cloth. It really DOES bring out more of the glow in your candlelight and accessories!!! LOVE that you used that kind of citrusy green placemat. It really does bring out the green in the dishes! Good call on both that and the two chargers!!! The dishes you used really make the light fixture treatment stand out even more. They complement one another perfectly. This is really gorgeous, Liz. It's one of those tables that would make you just kind of gasp when you walk in and see it this time of year. I can't think of a single sane person who wouldn't enjoy dining at this table!!!
