A LITTLE GARDEN THEMED CHRISTMAS

Welcome to my Tablescape Thursday decorations. Thanks again to Susan from Between Naps on the Porch who makes this all possible every single week. If you would like to see more, stop over to her blog and surf around to enjoy beautiful holiday tables.
   My table idea began when I saw the garden themed table set up at Pottery Barn in the Galleria Mall in Buffalo. There were glass hurricanes, white candles, and white flowers that intrigued me. I tried to duplicate some of the ideas in my sunroom this year.
 
I used paper whites and amaryllis  along with a glass block light decoration that I made this year.


The table is dressed in black, white, red and green.

The centerpiece is this candle holder from colonial Candles that I first saw on Susan’s table. Inside is one of those newer battery operated candles. This one has a timer. Once you set it to go on at seven o’clock, it comes on every night after that and burns for a few hours then goes off. Then on again the next night. It was a gift from my sister and I love to see it lit up every night all by itself.

I found this idea as I was surfing last week and knew I had to copy it for my candlier. I think the pears hanging give it a garden feeling.

Again this year I put crystal wreaths on the backs of the chairs.

Theses are the place holders that I made. I see that I need to cover the backs too…whoops!
 
This is the view looking out the french doors from the sunroom. You can see that we got snow last night. It has been such fair weather that we didn’t even put away our porch swing yet. Must get that done.

The baker’s rack has a garden feel too.  I made the ornament of my mom and dad smooching under the mistletoe. It’s one of my favorites.
Top gun is enjoying Christmas too!


  
I hope you enjoyed your tour. Happy holidays to all!
